Anniversary coming up - and luckily Mrs Trackdemon like's her cars too so we have opted to hire a classic / sportscar for a weekend and stay in nice hotels etc.... Dilemma: What to
hire? This is the list we have, all from Bespokes - if anyone know's anywhere better or that offer different cars, let me know! Want to limit the bill to about £1200 (including extra miles -
300 won't be enough!), so we're discounting the really flash stuff like 360's / Diablo's / DB7 Vantage.

Aston DB6 £1050
Aston V8 Vantage £950
Ferrari Dino £950
Ferrari 328 £950
E-type 4.2 Cabriolet £700
TVR Tuscan £700

I'm thinking either Dino or E-type at the moment, proper classic's and both a 'must drive at some point' for any enthuisiast... May be a bit chilly for an E-type soft-top though! But then, I've always
loved the V8 Vantage - what a car! And the 328 is so pretty. Choice's, choice's.... idea's welcome!

The E-type with out a doubt... know someone with a DB6 and its like a truck. Dino is OK but not that fast and the Vantage I think will be the old Vantage...

So the E it is then....

Vantage or the E-type for me.

Depending on the weather.

What a nice dilemma.....

autorentsport.com seems to point to one of those links pages that you get as a holding page for a domain name now. Was the only one outside the UK as well

Dino would be my choice, and then the DB6, that’s just on looks, as unfortunately I’ve not driven any of the above
