£60k toys

[300bhp/ton]

Taking inspiration from another thread today. Can you please post up suggestions of cars costing £50,000-60,000 they must be:

-brand new NOT used
-must be something you wouldn't likely use as a daily driver e.g. No luxury saloons. (or at least something most people would be unlikely to use as a daily)
-available as RHD

Can you get me a job at your place?

How much do Nobles and supercharged Atoms cost brand new these days?

Or maybe some sort of Lotus?

Save yourself £20k and get one of these for £40k

Evora

Civilised choice would be a Boxster Spyder or perhaps a Cayman R in basic, no radio/aircon trim.

I'll have a Caterham CSR, please.

KTM X-Bow

Seriously though, I'd take one of these (about 60k right?)

double that for a new one

With a bit of haggling (boosted by the new model pending), you might be able to squeeze into a very basic 997 C2 (non-S) for £60k?

Might be considered too 'everyday' though.

corvette or an aero 8 (but I don't think they make the 8 any more

That's quite a lot of haggling. The list price is nearly 70k isn't it?

If only they did a RHD 'vette.

An evolution of the rolling torture chamber aka the super lights but for those of us afflicted by genetic pastry pilferage and mild dementia.

Appreciate it's maybe outside of the budget (the right way!) but I promise to blow another few grand on a couple of weekends with Mark Hales so that I can truly dominate the twisty bits of N Yorkshire.

Not sure to be honest. I thought it was possible to get into the C2 for about 65ish, but as I'm not in the market for a new 911 right now , I haven't really looked properly.

Edited to add: Just taken a look, and the base price is £63k. BUT, with some 'options' that you can't actually delete (!), it comes out at £67,720.

It'd be a Morgan Aero 8 for me.

They actually have things listed as cost options that you can't not have? Surely that can't be right? Would that not be false advertising or something?

It does smack of classic Porsche. It's 2k for leather seats, but there's no other option, plus nearly a grand and a half for the radio, which, again, you have to have. Oh, and 68 quid to tint the top of the windscreen - and no option to 'untick' this either.

[kambites]

I can't believe that it's legal to advertise the base price as being lower, then. Might as well say it starts from five pounds for the badge but you have to have the rest of the car as a 67k optional extra.
