Your fantasy garage
Just for a bit of fun:
You've won Euromillions, bought a big house, and it's 6 car garage is sitting empty. You can spend up to £500,000 on new cars, with a limit of £150,000 on any one car. What would be your choices?
Here are mine.
Luxury saloon - Jaguar XJ 3.0 Supercharged V6 Petrol, £75K
Sports car - Porsche Carrera S, £88K
4WD - Range Rover 3.0 TDV6, £76K
Convertible - Mazda MX5, £24K
Electric - Tesla Model 3, £40K (estimate)
City run about - Skoda Citigo, £12K
Total £315K
Of course, I'd then have to build another garage to hold the older cars that I'd like, such as a 2.8 or 3.0 Capri, an old Defender, a VW split windscreen camper, etc, etc.

Some sort of estate car, new or old, reliable, don't care what make. BUT This would technically have to live outside to make room for a 4 post ramp.“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

Nothing built after 2000-1. Should cost £50k in all, £60k tops, leaving £440k to keep the Rangie in unleaded and air springs.
That should do me.If someone is nice to you but rude to the waiter, they are not a nice person.0 -

It would undoubtedly be the most expensive car in my garage after it's been imported 12'000miles or 40+ days over sea

You have ruled out the F488 as my city runabout with that price limit, so I can't playwith a limit of £150,000 on any one car.
