350k budget, 1 or 2 cars ... But which?
Discussion
I assumed this was a hypothetical.
If I really had £350k to blow on cars:
1) I wouldn't ask other people what they think I should spend my money on;
2) it would depend a LOT on how secure future income streams/investments are;
3) if I have £5m+ in income producing assets ticking nicely along, I would buy anything I fancied;
4) If I didn't and this was a 'spend it now as I may never have it ever again' it would have to be something old that has inherent value.
On the assumption that you clearly really have this sort of cash lying around, just get what you want and if you don't like it, sell it and get something else.

An Aventador and a Range Rover SDV8, wouldn't bother with the Superccharged.
The OP appears to already have an Aventador and an SC Rangey.The 250 GT Lusso above is gorgeous.
Definately get a classic. I dont see the point in another modern supercar if you are keeping the Aventador.

Lucky guy!!, I agree with you though, if he's got an Aventador there's not much point in another modern supercar when he's already got one of the best.The 250 GT Lusso above is gorgeous.

1) Why not, there might be cars out there that you hadn't even considered, it's always nice to hear what other petrolheads have to say before buying so that you know that you've considered everything before making your own decision;
2) I'm fairly certain the OP wouldn't be spending £350k on 2 cars if he wasn't financially secure;
3) Has nothing to do with it, the OP might have £0 or £20m in assets, what's that got to do with anyone other than himself?
4) You seem to think the OP is stupid...
You don't get rich by buying something expensive, deciding you don't like it, and selling it again!
To be fair, this wasn't originally worded as a "What Car?". Like many others, I took the question to mean "what would you do with £350k to spend on cars" We each have our own individual tastes. My post would have been entirely different if I'd been advising the OP on what to buy; he and I seem to have opposite taste in cars

All that fussiness on the flanks of that Ferrari makes the Caterham look uncluttered:
The shield is a different colour yellow. Those badges need to come off and the indicator repeater needs to be hidden behind clear lenses in the door mirror.
For some reason the wing badges are extremely popular and most cars are specced with them.

How much does a 288 GTO set you back these days? I can only find POAs
If not I'd go for a hakosuka GTR which would then leave me about £250k for a nicely specced Singer 911

I assume the Aventador would be going, so I think (if it were my cash, i'd want to have at least some sort of safety net in terms of rarity & exclusivity to keep demand and price high) it would be a 599 GTO for the balls out stupid fast car, much like the Aventador really
Then a BAC Mono for the sunny days and track days..

All that fussiness on the flanks of that Ferrari makes the Caterham look uncluttered:and this
The shield is a different colour yellow. Those badges need to come off and the indicator repeater needs to be hidden behind clear lenses in the door mirror. I realise the repeater may be a nod to stuff like Daytonas and 308GTBs, but IMO there's too much going on there. It has two prancing horses on the front so not sure why it needs them on the wings too.
They could hide the indicator repeater behind the shields like on a BMW Z4 but that would make removing them with a hair dryer more involved.
If I suddenly win the lottery and can contemplate that sort of cash on cars then on the first day I would buy a FF range Rover as a daily.
Then I'd ummm and arrrh for another couple of days before probably buying a Macca SLR. A modern super car that will become a true classic and will never be "last years model" unlike a 599 etc. The LFA is in the same arena but just doesn't float my boat in the same way as the SLR.
A BAC Mono would be nice.

Assuming a 5.0 Supercharged Range Rover, is used as the daily driver and kept on the drive, and there's space in the garage for either 1 or 2 more cars and with a max budget of £350k to spend on them.... What would you choose? ... Either 1 or 2 cars (but no more).
Are you getting shot of the Aventador? Shame, seen it around a few times. That car is beyond stunning!AyBee said:

3- has to do with 2. Spending £350 on depreciating liabilities if you have plenty of income producing assets is no big deal. Spending it when you don't already have a pile of passive income producing assets is daft.
4 - no I don't. But I do know people who spend everything they earn on trinkets and then go bust and have no security. He clearly isn't stupid.
