Lottery garage with a twist
Discussion
I was having one of my regular lottery win daydreams the other day and decided that I would start my car collection with an iconic car from each decade
Which cars would you have for each decade, I'm thinking zonda for 00s, f40 for 90s, not sure for 80s or 70s, e type for 60s etc....
What would your collection be??? Assuming practically unlimited budget and the fact that a lot of the cars would be appreciating, so not exactly a bad investment

10's - Carerham R500 (is that cheating?)
00's - Lotus Exige S1
90's - E39 M5
80's - Ferrari F40
70's - Porsche 911 (2.7 RS ideally but anything pre-bumper would be nice)
60's - Ferrari 250 GT SWB
50's - Jaguar D-Type
Anything before that falls embarrassingly out of my knowledge spectrum though a 1930's Bugatti would make a lovely garage ornament.

I'll probably be burned at the stake for the last one...
60s Jaguar XJ13 or Lamborghini Muira if the lottery win isn't big enough for the Jag.
70s Aston Martin V8 Vantage
80s Porsche 911 Turbo
90s Lamborgini Diablo SV
00s Honda Insight Mk1. Because I like it both in looks and concept and would make a good everyday car. And nothing else from the 00s seems that inspiring IMO.
ETA - Honda insight turns out to be late 1999 so just falls out. I guess it will have to be a Bugatti Veyron then

I'm not a big fan of American cars, but there's just an inherent rightness to that. Think I would have to have one in my lottery collection.Classic Corvette C1. in TUXEDO Black with White Coves. Shark Mouth Grill. perfect chrome.
