What would you sped £85k on ?

[MadHatter7]

What sports car would buy with £85k in your pocket ?
Thinking of something English, quirky and fast
Maybe the New Morgan +8

Your thoughts ?

I'd buy a good used Porsche 911, and spend the rest on drugs and loose women

This one specifically....

If it has to be British and weekend play only, I'd get a Caterham R500 and spend the £40,000 saved as advised above....

[LeoSayer]

Audi R8 V10 probably.

Or a GT3.

[TomN94]

Ferrari 355, and a decent exhaust for it. Keep the rest for a rainy day.

If you want quirky (for a given value of quirky)...

... BAC Mono? A basic one with no options would be about 75k plus VAT, so about 5-6k over your budget.
... A Wiesmann? If you can find one and don't mind LHD? (OK, not English but keeps the Morgan-esque feel)
... The aforementioned Morgan?
... An Ariel Atom and lots of time/money at a track?
... A tank?
... An Aston DBS?

This. All day every day. Keep the change. (I'm not thinking of something English, otherwise it'd be a Sagaris)

English? Check!
Quirky? Check!
Fast? CHECK!

Not sure if the change would allow me to insure it, though.

John Barnard used to design Ferraris? Around about the same time as you could buy a 355.

[blearyeyedboy]

A nice classic Jaguar XK150 with cash to spare?

[davepoth]

Morgan Plus 8 is £85,200 OTR, I expect you could haggle...

[Pommygranite]

1989 AM Vantage
