I was once again considering today as i was being whisked along the M5 what i would get WHEN i win the big euro millions £100m+ jackpot.

My thoughts often crystalise along the lines of collecting the definitive car of every decade.

Contentious stuff indeed, sometimes it i focus on competition cars, sometimes it is a road cars

the following is by no means definitive, merely my current state of mind, there are also bound to be loads of fabulous cars i have overlooked.

00s - Pagani Zonda
90s - McF1 GTR
80s - Ferrari F40/Audi Quattro short sport
70s - Lancia Stratos
60s - Jaguar E-type
50s - Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing
40s - Delahaye 135
30s - Bugatti royale
20s - Blower bentley

What would you guys pick?

Don't think i'd bother with anything before the 50's as i dont think i'd ever use them, but:

50's....... I'd build a 'street rod' version of the car pictured:
(Plymouth Belvedere)



60's....... De-Thomaso Mangusta:



70's....... Jensen Interceptor:



80's....... Sierra RS500



90's....... Ferrari F355



00's....... Mercedes CLK Black



10's....... Jaguar XJ Super Sport



Not entirely sure that most of them are definitive, but i could use all of them and think each would offer something different to any one of the others in the collection.

10's - Aventador

90s - Mclaren F1 GTR
80s - Ferrari F40
70's - wouldn't really bother with anything to be honest, can't think of a 70's supercar I really like.
