Do not pass go do not collect £200...go straight to the box marked "regret"!

I wouldnt know where to go..........Zonda? - ugly as sin and with an interior that resembles an explosion if a DFS factory

'egg?..........suspect reliability/engineering integrity?

LP640 maybe?....or one of the first LP560's?

CGT is a VERY special car...frankly they are a bargain when you take the integrity of the engineering and build into the equation.

Points taken Darren... Combination of car living 30 miles away at my house in the country , me living in central London .... Top £££ offer and a moment of weakness (car is now in Europe with the strong Euro and all)

There is a LP640 on the cards , but don't know if it would fall foul to the same problems associated with the CGT in central London.

LP560 - Nope , not going there ...

Zonda - would buy one tomorrow at the right price

Egg - If the Orange car was < 250k?

Jon,

Hear what you are saying - sometimes it's just a waste - I'm in the process of sellign one of my "toys" - not one of the exotica I hasten to add - because I simply don't have the time to use it - hasnt been driven since October!

In saying that...........there's a nice White LP640 in the classifieds!! - I guess £160-170k might buy it for cash?

Go the other way and buy something classic, or maybe a continuation GT40 or similar?

having been spoiled with modern cars , classics don't do anything for me (Driving that is , obviously not Aesthetically cloud9)
