You'd soon get bored of walking round that with no cars, Shirley? wink
Question is "what car", but if I have the cars already wink

I do know someone who won a "paltry" 1.7 million on the lottery a few years back and he bought a two year old 5 series.

Accountants tsk!

Not everyone's into cars. wink

He may have spunked it on a helicopter/boat/Playboy bunny etc. Or just bought a nicer house. £1.7m would get you something moderately nice around here - but nothing particularly fancy. hehe

Having read the full ad I would have to plus 1 this. It is absolutely incredible seems to have been built with true attention to detail would easily be all the car you would ever need. At that current price it's a total bargain.

That's a tricky one. In reality I wouldn't buy 1 expensive car, I would buy a selection of old ones (Merc 560SEL, Jag XJS 6.0, Chevy m1008 CUCV).

If I had to pick one car with unlimited funds it would probably be a bmw 1M.

Nah. You'd need at least one more car for when that one was off the road for 50% of its life having warranty repairs.

Plus, what if one wants to corner fairly rapidly without one's cheek scraping across the tarmac?

I would buy a selection but if i had to buy one I would have a Rolls Phantom Coupe made to my exact specification and waft around in that

The trouble with all the exotica is that you might as well tick the publicity box when you win.

I'd probably end up with a Cerbera, or an old aston martin

They go round corners better than you'd ever give them credit for and they are properly screwed together now.

It's a do everything car.

Faultless.

I think a convertible XKR would fit the bill nicely.



Not the costliest, most nimble or fastest car out there. But hard to find many other cars that are just soooooo right.
