Right lads, this is nothing new, I'm sure you've all thought about it.
Let's paint the picture, you've just realised your numbers have come in on the euro milllions double rollover! You check your bank balance in disbelief and to your shock you account has just increased by 38million pounds!

Question is what would be the first 5 cars added to your collection, which no doubt would go in the new houses garage

For me, it'd be a Ferrari, 430 scuderia, a 67 GTO, the mustang from gone in 60. A zonda f, and probably the gallardo balboni

First 5? A difficult one, because I have quite a list and it might fall to which ones I can find first!

But, similar to you really (I have whittled it down a touch) and I suspect many people..

1. F430 Spider - Blue, manual.
2. DB7 Vantage Volante - ideally blue and manual.
3. Diablo - purple - it's in the classifieds of PH..
4. XTM or possibly Atom for track day fun.
5. Noble M12 (if the missus will let me).

Aston Martin V12 Vantage
Range Rover Autobiography (5.0 Supercharged)
Ferrari 288 GTO
BMW M1
Alfa Romeo 8C

Those will do as a start, obviously my garage will also have a selection of motorcycles and other toys for me to ride around my estate.

I know these might sound a bit "common" but there you go:

1: General Lee (69 Dodge Charger with welded doors, roll cage, bull bar etc)
2: Lancia 037 stradale
3: Hummer H1 single cab (For outdoor activities such Motocross, Jet Ski, Snowboarding, Apocalypse and so on)
4: Porsche 962 Dauer
5: Morgan Aeromax (or even better, the next concept car)

Think I would be looking at some classic stuff,

A vintage Bentley with the strap on blower.
Something to do the mille miglia classic tour in (red colour).
An ACRX Viper
One or two track cars, a Group C car would be nice.
Would also fancy a WW2 Willys Jeep or Ford GPW
Mabie a Tank too for a bit of fun biggrin

Well that's a few bob gone biggrin

For me, it'd have to be:

1. Aston DB9 or Jag XKR
2. Porsche 928
3. Lancia Stratos
4. Mitsi Evo Tommi Mak
5. Nissan GT-R

Not a vast quantity of money spent there, but i imagine that a fair amount would go on insurance and garaging and the like.

For me I would:

1) Find my first Land Rover 90 and buy it back - restore it
2) Find the best RR Classic 4.2 LSE I could
3) Pop to Land Rover and buy a new RR 500 BHP thingy
4) Find a Camel Trophy Defender 110

That’s the practical side covered

5) Maybe a Ferrari California? (Sort of looks like a bigger S2000 to me)

Other than this lot there would be some classic cars, Jags, Landrovers and old school bentleys.

Phallic mid-engined supercars don't really interest me much to be honest, however my boyhood Athena icon would make the cut. Apart from that it would be a collection of race and rally toys, and some fun for the road in my garage (aircraft hanger)

Supercars



Omologato









Road







Misc





That list is just the tip of the iceberg, and would be subject to daily change ..... I honestly don't think I could be trusted with a lottery win, as I'd spend more time buying than driving.

1) Ferrari F40
2) Ferrari 250 GT SWB
3) MK1 Exige, maybe a rebuild project, I'm going to have some time on my hands.
4) Caterham R500 kit, I'll build that too.
5) E39 BMW M5 for swanning about in.

Would want at least another 5 cars but those would be the first 5.

Today I'm mostly considering:

1. Bentley Blower
2. Bentley Brooklands
3. Range Rover P38 Westminster 4.0
4. Land Rover 90 200Tdi
5. Mercedes CLK AMG Black

Mind you, it would also depend on what catches my eye as I browse the classifieds.
