80k to spend ? Multiple cars

[phib]

Having a yearly urge to buy a new toy or two, have been having this every year to be honest !

Life has changed a little and only have to do about 15k per year rather than the previous 44k a year. So tis got me thinking if I sold my 355, griff 500 and 730d ( not selling defender soft top, just couldn't bear to part with her) I would have give or take 80k ish

So what could I get for my money, current thought is db9 volante and range rover.

Can any one better it ? Only criteria ....

One needs to be a 4 seater, at least one needs to be auto, no bentley's not my cup of tea, happy to have a classic and a normal car. Oh and no 911's had 9 of them in a row

All ideas welcome, I still love the 355 and griff and both seem to be going up in value a little so maybe I should just stick withbwhat I have, however like many of us I just can't help looking !!!

Oh my.

[Chriseaborn]

Saw the Quattroporte ad. That was going to be my suggestion. Definitely keep your 355 and 500!!! With Quattroporte you'd maintain a truly iconic garage.

M5 Touring? Highly understated, spacious mischief!

Or for way less money and a great car to buzz about in, what about a mint Delta Integrale or 205 1.9 Gti and get a really concours one (black or a late metallic blue)? Save the difference and bank it for a rainy day!

Oh my.

Love the masarati, had a granturismo 2 years ago, done the caterham thing, must be getting old as it doesn't appeal anymore.

Keep the ideas coming

Thanks

Those.

[wackojacko]

Can understand about the Caterham itch has been itched, I stand by the E60 M5 standing alongside a TVR Sagaris ......

[phib]

Som more good ideas, re the tvr, the griff is the only one I would have had two cerb's when they were new one was great the other was the third speed 6 off then line !!!

And I think I have done BMW's to death had a 535 before the 7 and didn't like the ride

and you could keep the Griff.

[fel71]

Keep what you have got,spend a tenth of that budget on something old, like the previously mentioned 205 gti 1.9 or a mk1 / mk2 escort,lots of fun,can only appreciate in value,and if you sold your posh fiat you'd only keep trying to buy another in 12 months time that would'nt be half the car you sold for about 10k more. It works for me!

£35k on this Alpina B5S:

Or maybe buy a good looking M5 which comes without ridiculous splitters as standard

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2602323.htm



and if you really can't live without the Alpina design a nice ironing board from Lidl should do just fine

[Hereward]

Just get a Ferrari 612.

This is what I would do:
