Best car ever?

[AdamW]

Picture the scene. You are in front of the Queen. You kneel down, she taps you on both shoulders with the sword and says "Arise Knight! By the way, you can only have one car now for the rest of your life, but one shall buy all the fuel, servicing, tax and insurance for it for that time."

What car, in the whole history of cars, would you have? Assuming that fuel, servicing and all other running costs are free to you (not including speeding tickets!)

Oh, and it has to be production standard: so no Bigfoot monster truck with a Spey turbojet strapped to the roof and a jacuzzi in the back!

Aston Martin Vanquish S (Black / Mag hide) or maybe an audi RS4 then maybe a Landcrusier or then maybe a ......

Hmmmm, imponderable really.

Rover 620, without a doubt.

Only problems you'll see (on every single one) are electric aerial jammed about 2" out of the car, one front air scoop missing and killer rust spot over rear passenger-side wheel arch, but apart from that, perfect in every way.......

s2000 car of the year twice !

 

[empip]

...Six litres, 12 cylinders, 552 horses, two turbochargers and four-wheel drive....

£110 grands worth of nobility in motion .... Style, class, parkability,massive GRUNT, a thirst like the tartan army and a wonderful British name... on essentially a VW ... Phaeton How could you resist?

Actually old boy, the Bentley goes like manure !

It's a Bentley, not some tin pot drug dealers Beemer rubbish, nor cheapo rear engined, rehashed, nearly two seat Porschewagen ... Tis a proper job .... Can hurtle down the open road, purr up to that hotel, a reek of opulence. 2.4 tonnes of "Who are you lookin' at bud?" , if that Ferrari gets in the way, it could be reduced to a binful of cheap Eyetie, F1 also ran, scrap metal and plastic.. in a trice.. or even less.

A 1960's Ferrari 250 GT California SWB.

Cars from this era, particularly Ferraris are more than just cars, they are works of art, that's why one of these would cost you in excess of £1 million.

110K for a rover 620 look-a-like methinks not.

You buy better performance with, 4 seats, brand new, big name, £110k.

James Whatisface on Top-gear was amazed to find himself at near 200 mph, not on a race track in the BC ... he is usually a bit scathing about the 'so-called' supercars .....
BTW and you could drive the thing out of a car park, notso the Ferrari, GT40 lookalike and Zonda wotever, Top gear last night Sun....
