Not sure if this has ever been discussed before, but just wondering what the cheapest/least valuable car people would have in their fantasy collection would be

For me, stored inbetween the F40s, M1s and 993 GT2s, I'd probably like to have an Audi RS2, really because they were the first of the breed, and the idea that it was built by Porsche kind of sets it apart for me. So say call it £14k for a pretty good, lower mileage one

What about anyone else?

I would buy an Austin Allegro 1750 Equipe & I would drive it every time I felt angry. Just to remind me how bad they really are!!!

Probably a clio 197/200 for me, so much car for the money. I had a yellow R27 197 for a year and I miss it dearly, i'm sure it'd sit quite nicely among the supercars smile

edit: my clio is still for sale so i'd probably buy it back (even if it is overpriced!) http://dealerservices.autotrader.co.uk/157537/mald...

Ah, you see this is where I need an actual lottery winner on here to confirm what happens biggrin. I suspect that I'd briefly think of all those, but then actually go out and buy a 205 T16 and an R5 Turbo 2 instead

Probably my own TVR which would be kept without question, and would share garage space with a Gordon Keeble, SM, DB4, Interceptor, XK150, Tiger and whatever else takes my fancy. smile

I used to know a Chap that had quite a Collection, the Star Item was probably a 2009 Bentley Azure as Well as a S1 E-type freshly restored by Eagle E-types.

His daily Driver for him was a Vauxhall Astra CDtI Van (Because the tax was cheap) and a Knackered out old V6 Freelander for his wife..The mind boggles.

500 Abarth Convertible for me. I'd want a small car for darting about in and this would fit the bill.
