Bonus- non-roadgoing:
Porsche 917
At least 2 have been road registered, so that would be allowed actually.
I know of the Count Rossi one, but what's the other? Was it a factory road-goer, or a converted racecar?
Converted racing car, and apparently it was eventually converted back to racing spec again after some American bought it; but it was road legal in period.

The story can be read (amongst other places) here

Porsche 997 GT3 manual
Porsche 2.7 RS tribute
Jaguar F type S convertible
Range Rover Sport 3.0 HSE
Range Rover Evoque

Cars for all seasons and conditions, fun, accessible performance yet "affordable" which is why I already own them....

For me:

Ferrari F40
McLaren F1 GTR
Dauer 962 Le Mans
Porsche 918
Any contemporary WRC car (preferably set up for tarmac)
I knew about the German road registered 917- but it's slightly cheating, and it meant I could pick 6, and not 5, cars! wink
Still a lot of other cars I NEED to go in!

Being a poor graduate in London I’d take any drive that wasn’t in an Uber!

• Lexus LFA
• Ferrari 250 GTO
• McLaren MP4-27 (Because why not!)
• Hennessey Venom GT
• Lamborghini Miura SV

A few old, a few new, and a few mental!
