Just a bit of hypothetical tom foolery. So you've won the lottery and you can afford any car you like. Trouble is the wonderful government have put a limit on only being able to own 1 car each.

So what what do you buy? (and yes I'm bored lol)

M3 Convertible

ETA: Because I'd want something with an open top, I'd want something fast and I'd probably need a boot at some point...

Alfa 8c - Use it for daily commute (to the bank, to withdraw my interest, obviously), weekend cruise and for track use.

All the car one needs, and it's not a common Ferrari/Lambo etc. It's an Alfa biggrin

Zonda F spyder. Taxi/limousine service everywhere else.

Even now, I only ever drive for fun, and anything involving longer than 2 hours of motorway, I take a train (unless driving to a car related destination such as the 'Ring).

Even taking the kids to school (boarding school, as I've won the lottery) can be a hire car job. Shopping? Delivered. Going out at night? Cab. Going shooting during the season? Grab a lift with a chum or borrow one of their 4x4s or rent one.

Reduce the need for car ownership to fun only, say I. If you have the cash, you can get hold of something suitable for other occasions, or simply be driven.

Love those. And yes, great call.

But I'm too much of a poseur not to have a hypercar as my only ride.

Aston Martin DBS V12. Not the fastest, most efficent and quite expensive. But just imagine that beast on the country roads of Britain. Oof. I've got that fizzy feeling in my stomache wink

Surely you'd want something immaculate if you won the 'lotto'...
