What would I have instead of my T350?
I am afraid a 6R4 is a bit out my range (especially the one at £75k), but I found this for sale:

I am nothing to do with the car but isn't that just a great example of a RWD classic and at a sensible price in the Mk II world?

A front engined V12 Ferrari would be my choice. 575 with all the bits (manual of course), or a Barchette/SuperAmerica. Yum.

Marcos TSO has always been on the lust list. Weissman a worthy runner up.

But then there's a Cobra Coupe...

If i ever get rid of the TVR, I'm replacing it by either a ZR1 or AM.

If I had lots of spare cash THIS would be my choice,


I also kinda like the RAT look, something like this with some serious power under the hood would be a laugh.

Something like this, I suppose. Or is it too predictable?


Of course, I'd need to save some pennies and sell some other stuff first.

I can't understand the hype over these cars. The T350 is such a nicer shape in comparison.

I have to agree with Nagra, i think thats one of, if not the best looking car ever made and would also be my choice.

I'm in the other camp. I think its pretty overrated. They dont drive well either apparently.

To me the 8C is a car that looks good in photos but doesnt seem to work in the flesh, if I had to change the Sag I think it would be for a Gallardo in orange but then I probably couldnt afford to run it.

Each to their own. I think the front and rear are not well executed, and the lights are not to my taste, but the side profile is OK smile

We have an 8C in the showroom and it is a wonderful looking thing. But its the noise that steals the show. When the Sport button is pushed the racket it makes is just animalistic.

I actually think the 8c looks quite similar to the 350 side on, perhaps that's why i like it.

To me the T350 is beautiful svelte car whereas the 8c comes across as having all the right curves but a bit heavy looking, all personal opinion of course, have never been lucky enough to drive one but am sure it is a very good car just not what I would spend my hard earned on.

No problem - looks fab.

I should have said in my original post that I was thinking for similar money, not money no object!
