If you had £10,000 hard earned to spend on absolutely any car….what would you buy and why?

Depends what you will be using it for. I would get a vw phaeton as a family cruiser or a Jaguar xk for a grand tourer.

Clio Rs200 cup 2011/12 plate in Alien green or liquid yellow. Rave reviews from all the good mags like Evo and it looks . I'm just a sucker for a hot hatch! Got to have the Recaro's though.

The best Alfa GT V6 I could find.
The reason is simply that I want another one to go along with the cars I already have.

Need a bit more info Phil, for that money you could get this...

I smell a rat...

Fixed the link

I'd probably try to knock this one down a bit as I've been watching for a while and always wanted one!

Ebay Giulia

...though for more modern stuff theres some great Porkers around for the money

Cat C

The best Delta Integrale I could find (would really like 4 times the budget for a nice one...)

How about an original well restored Mini Cooper???
Fetching around £10k now I believe? More for an S!

Got to love a bit of W12 action. Barge-tastic

That is very special Jim...

Porsche or a TVR.

With £10k, i would build a car i have wanted for years...

An immaculate black E38 BMW 7 series....with a tuned E39 M5 V8 and manual box.

Why? Why not!

For me, a Maserati 3200 or 4200 or a bmw m5 (v10)

I'd spend it... on my car- a Fiat Coupé 20v Turbo.

In fact, I am currently doing just that!

No better car for that money for me!

10k Trappy? What you doing then?

Lotus or TVR for me please!

Yes, please tell, sounds great

Haha, trying to keep it running! I started the spend over a year ago and it'll be getting on for £10k soon... that's all! I'm just tidying everything up and trying to make it the car it should / could always have been with a fair few modifications on the way.

When I looked at what £10k would get me two years ago, I still couldn't find anything better. The girlfriend bought a 350z for £9k a year ago and, compared to mine, I can't see why it was worth that really.

Normal coupe ownership issues then Trappy

Would like to try a BMW.

E46 M3 or 330i clubsport tintops or likely in this weather a z4.

Should have plenty of change for 10k aswell.

Proccy?? What'd you thoughts on them?

I'm considering the E90 335d coupe at the moment, it's been called the best all rounder you can buy. It goes like stink, good mpg and can carry 4 people...plus they can be played with to go faster. 10K will just about get you one with around 100k mileage, I need something that will be a nice place to sit for my 3 hour commute each day.

Monaro, a VXR if a high miler came up.

very very capable car, mine is mapped to around 360bhp and is noticeably quicker that a standard M3......just having some paintwork seen to then a couple of internal blemishes sorted - then it'll be a proper car and i'll sell it for way less than £10k!!
i recommend them, in 9 months of ownership its cost me nothing beyond fuel, which is a massive revelation over my coupe experience

Sierra sapphire cosworth 4x4.

I've changed my mind, the Audi TT 3.2 looks like a bargain. Anyone got any previous that will help picking a good one?

I think that is a good call, classic shape, well engineered, big engine

the older 3.2 had some timing chain issues, not too sure if the newer model uses the same unit
