£100K Garage - Hugh Gabriel
A V8 Range Rover, a TVR and an electric car cover all bases in our latest dream garage
Previously owned: "Alfa GT, Fisher Fury Fireblade, Locost 7, Ford Capri and some boring diesels."
Currently owned: "Toyota MR2 Roadster, Peugeot 205 1.6 GTI track car, and a boring (but competent) diesel."
On the shortlist: "TVR Cerbera was right at the top, there aren't any really good ones on at the moment though; Daimler 250 V8; Audi Allroad 2.7; Defender; Porsche Cayman S."
Cost: £14,500
Balance: £85,500
Why I chose it: "Tamora and T350s seem to have fallen below the radar since the Sagaris appeared, despite being great looking and sounding. None of those available at the moment have had a rebuild, so I've got for a cheap one and keep some money in the pot for when the time comes."
Range Rover 4.2 Supercharged Vogue SE
Cost: £15,395
Balance: £70,105
Why I chose it: "A V8 family barge for all the long trips in comfort surrounded by leather and wood. I need something 4WD on the list, which could do tow car duties. Nothing would tick every box quite as well as one of these."
Cost: £24,450
Balance: £45,655
Why I chose it: "As I write this I'm sat in a cafe off Berkeley Square, outside there is one of these, a Tesla Model S and a Nissan Note parked and charging free, this strikes me as a win-win situation. IMHO they look decent, and are a nice departure from the appearance of virtually every other small car out there at the moment. It'll be interesting to see whether the batteries last."
Porsche 356 B 1600 Reutter Coupe
Cost: £29,995
Balance: £15.660
Why I chose it: "I need a classic to tinker with, this Porsche 356 may be needing a bit more than just tinkering, but a complete project car has got to be a good start. Restoring it properly wouldn't be cheap, so the balance of my budget would go on that, fingers crossed it's enough!
[Sadly Hugh's project car had sold before we posted this - see the link for where 356 prices are at and why you'd need more than £100K to get a good one in your garage! - Ed.]

The i3; pig nosed, high-roofed, DS3 esque car but much uglier and far more expensive. There are quite a few up here along with i8's and I just can't stand them!
Good shout with the Tamora.
Tamora's arse looks wrong to my eyes.
