navigator's bugatti

[dryden1407]

hi,
just back from a cruise on royal caribbean's navigator of the seas,onboard the ship was a bugatti teal type 35,it really appealed to me
now,i know it's a replica but is it really in the same boat(pardon the pun)as all the other replica cars? as in some people really dislike replica's
there's an alloy bodied bugatti teal type 35 on ebay just now just like the one i saw on the ship,it's up for £24k
i have up to £40k to spend on an "exciting" car,i'm torn between this,a 360,a v8 vantage or a cobra replica
any thoughts

For your £40k, I would spend less than £30k and buy a 2nd hand Dax Cobra for £25k and spend £4k fitting all new leather, respraying it to your spec and fitting the awesome sleek hardtop that is available for them. The Ferrari will cost a load to maintain, the Vantage I dont know about but the Cobra will be the most beastly and most fun out of the lot and cost the least to maintain. The Bugatti i dont know anything about either.

Oh and if you do get a Cobra, take the baffles out the side exits then you have a dragster!! The only pitfall to these cars is water ingress but measures can be taken to minimise this.
