Macca F1, I suspect.

BTW I hope you're allowing me to keep a Mondeo estate or such for the family...

Tricky.

If I had to run it/insure it on a normal wage? 997 Turbo.

No money worries option? LP640 or a 599 GTB

An interesting choice... They were quite an achievement when they first appeared, especially the prototype - with 4 wheel drive, a big V12 and very novel scissor doors, but the production units lost all of those... ending up with rear-wheel drive and a turbo'd V6 (producing more power than the V12, but with quite a bit of lag by all accounts, and not quite the same noise).

Having seen a couple of them in the flesh, I can see why various owners were dissapointed with the fittings - as many were simply sourced from a variety of diffirent manufacturer's mass production parts bins!

Still - you don't see many (any?) actually on the road - and to own one would be a VERY special experience I'm sure.


As to what I'd have, given the choice of ANYTHING (and I'll keep doing that Euromillions when it's a huge roll-over just in case!)... probably a "Pagani Zonda Roadster F"...

yeah i know the xj220 was a dissapointment compared to the original spec, (i think the v12 only produved about 50bhp less though?) but i just think they look great. maybe if i ahd the money, some engine tuning, and a new set of brakes would go down well. possibly a new exhaust system to sort that sound out

and i have never seen one in the road. only at shows.


there are some good choices though so far. keep 'em coming

Now this is a difficult question,

It would be a very hard choice between a Zonda F, Enzo or a Koeniggsegg CCX

F40. Just love the whole concept of no creature comforts, it was the most focussed car of its day. Window winders, turbo lag-a-go-go, bloody bathroom sealant holding the carbon fibres together, all makes it the most frightening package of its day.
