Cars you can/cannot use daily and leave outside.

[J4CKO]

Ok, some of this is subjective and depends on a few factors so seeing as its my thread can we make it about me.

Car would be parked on a drive, in a decent area, used for 3000 ish miles a year and live outside all year round, luggage space unimportant, fuel economy isnt either. No budget as it isnt a what car.

So what interesting cars are out there that given the factors above you would rule in/out based.

Was thinking

Noble of Some description
Ultima GTR
Jensen Interceptor
Veyron

And your experiences, cars that seemed like potentially dailies but were not and the other way round, stuff you thought would be highly strung or hard to live with but wasnt ?

I've seen Nissan Skyline GT-Rs described a couple of times as "vandal magnets".

If I had a Bentley Continental I wouldn't want to leave that outside, incase some "dub" cretins came along and nicked the wheels for their Lupos or whatever!

Can't be any worse than any other posh car. Someone once keyed every BMW down my street, even a battered old E36.

There is one left daily at the end of our road, seems fine, will stand up to it I expect but like you say its the vandal factor, my mate had a Subaru Impreza worth the princely sum of about seven grand and someone scratched it out of jealousy, I dont get those kind of people, really cant understand why they do it, are they that eaten up inside with jealousy over an old Japanese car, would love to speak to one of them and ask them why.

It depends on what you call a 'decent area' really, doesn't it?

Where I live now, I wouldn't have any worries about theft/vandalism, period, even if I had a Veyron parked outside. Trees falling on it and buzzards stting on it, yes; theft and vandalism, no.

When I was a kid, I had a Westfield, then a Caterham, which were my only transport and lived outside on the shared parking courtyard of a housing association complex, next door to one of the villages biggest (and second roughest) council estates in a not-very-affluent ex-pit village South of Leeds. No problems.
