What would you buy for 40K ?

[Hyde]

Another for a V8 Vantage

[matthias73]

I would buy a traders policy, and then drive a diferent car every two months or so, hopefully making money or at least not losing money on it.

40k?

I'd flip a coin over a V8 Vantage or a Bentley Azure and not loose a moments sleep whichever car I got thank you.

[irish boy]

Corvette c6 z06 without a doubt. Had one in 2006 for 3 years and it was simply epic, nothing before or since has come close.

[benzito]

I'd buy an aston martin vanquish! Would need to be lucky to pick one up for 40k though, would also probably need 10k in the bank per year for maintenance/servicing

[chriscoates]

I would have a Mini Cooper S Works: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3533288.htm

And an M3 CSL: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2965925.htm

Like your choice sir.

[Legacywr]

I'm not so sure you can get a Sagaris for 40k anymore?

For me a F355 as it's reasonably affordable collectors car.

[Noesph]

roll royce silver dawn in auto trader, I bet it wouldn't lose any of its value either.

or a second hand Nissan gtr or Aston Martin db9/Vantage

BMW M5 for 14k

Honda NSX for 18k
http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C276062

With the remaining 8k I'd get a really mint Saab 900 Carlsson Turbo, in black, with the Abbott Racing goodies bolted on, if only you can find a half decent Carlsson now!

Does Mumsnet sell deposits?

Not sure anyone SELLS deposits. Then again I'll sell you a nice £10K deposit for £15K, It's a really good quality deposit so the price is rather good

I'm a huge TVR fan but for 40K I'd be wanting something that feels like it's been built and engineered to the highest standard.... Asub 15K Tuscan etc would be in contention when twinned with something else but not all 40K on a TVR.
