100k budget, what would your spend look like?
Discussion
Oh I've got a strong hankering for a Citroen XM 2.5TD at the moment, so knock a couple of grand off the Mk2 Escort budget to afford that one too 
I think in reality I'd need
10k for a factory unit to store the cars in
40k working capital for some project spend
10k for something to smoke about in and tow a trailer
10k for a lightweight track car
and the rest to replace my wages while I fiddled around on over-ambitious project car builds.

Lovely cars! Assuming the nitrous is a reference to Ronin, in which case I have to inform you that the film car is actually green 
Ah well, I'll have Jason Statham's one then. And still add nitrous.
A fast road setup 60s/70s: Alpine A110/Fiat Abarth 695SS/Hillman Imp
Daily: 5dr Fiesta ST with softened ride setup/smaller rims for improved comfort.
Kombi van
KTM 950SM
Early Fireblade
New mountain bike
New Road bike
New gravel bike
Ps. I would like an air-cooled Porsche 911, but the prices are just silly.

I could happily blow the lot, or most of it on one car, a Gordon Keeble GT....

Always fancied one of those! Not many unmolested ones available in UK now though I suppose a sift through a Japanese used car site would cure that.FNG said:

My list would start with fulfilling the childhood dream with a 3.0 GTV6, probably around 35k I think.
Next up, need a daily family car, so either an XE-S or a Giulia Veloce. Safe budget I suppose around 25k
Then I need some kind of convertible. If I could find one with the remaining 40k, I'd get a 348 Spider
If I can't get one in budget then, I'm not sure. Maybe I go for 4 seats with an XKE convertible, or a well specced Rocketeer Mk 1 MX5, or some or other Merc perhaps.....
Or maybe I'd buy another childhood hero instead:
or an S4 perhaps. Would have to try both out first
Depends if I was keeping my current fleet (981 GT4 and A3 diesel daily) I would add a Caterham.
If I was given £100k the GT4 would turn into a 991.2 GT3 manual. I saw a lovely red one sell on Instagram over the weekend. I would still add a caterham. Not to bothered about the daily as it does what it does well and not sure if it’s worth chucking money at. I’d like a Yaris GR or Fiesta ST but dont think they would be the best on the motorway. I’d rather spend money on the toys.

I've actually done this a couple of years ago - I was fortunate to have £100k available following a lucky share investment. None of these were new vehicles:
BMW 535d £35k
Late L322 Rangerover 4.4 TDV8 £20k
Toyota GT86 plus some tuning £16k
Iveco 7.5ton horse lorry £23k
BMW GS310 Adventure motorbike £3k
The GT86 is being swapped for a GR Yaris in few months so at that point I will have bust my self imposed £100k budget on the fleet. I'm very happy with the huge spectrum of ability covered. I wouldn't want any more because honestly the faff of staying on top of insurance, servicing, MoT's etc etc is just a burden.
