You have £70000 to spend on a new or used daily vehicle......what do you buy? Don't have to spend it all either.

70,000 £1 hookers?

New M2 as a daily + old Caterham for track days. Or just pay off my M240i, fit a few mods and get an old Caterham for track days.

If I don't have to spend it all, I'd buy a shed and put the rest towards a house!

If I'd have to buy something new, probably an F-Type. V6 for that money I believe.

Used, I'd try and find a really nice RX7 FD and spend the rest on mods.

If the money had to exclusively be used mainly for a car, then without a doubt a brand new V8 Mustang.

If it was £70,000 in cash, then it would be spent on a Service on the Puma (for me) and £69500 on shoes (for Mrs.T66).

Either a Cayman S if I have access to another car or a new Civic type R if I don't. You could happily have the rest of the money back.

I have no need for anything else.

I'll have a Volvo V90 T8. Then pick up a Fiesta ST with the change.

Bentley Continental R or T Mulliner.
That's a real Crewe Continental not a VW.......

Put a tow bar on it and use it to tow the Turbo R track car - how cool would that be?

I went to post a link to 993 Turbo, then realised they have gone up a "bit" would need two or three times the amount so this would do.

So a late 3.2 NSX.

A few years ago, you could have bought a £30k shed and a manual 360. Prices have jumped a lot recently!
