I must say, whether I end up with £5m in the bank of £100m, a Bentley and/or an Aston Martin would be the only super cars I'd entertain. Ferraris are a bit knobby IMO and so are Lambo's. Brits have managed to produce very functional and versatile super cars.
(off course we're talking about heritage here, I am well versed on the ownership structure of these companies)

Shame they moved away from Blackpool
One thing I love about TVRs is the noise...my neighbour had one and I never complained, great sound.
This reminds me of Lotus, unfortunately its not a car made for bigger guys. I couldn't get out of one (hard top) when I test drove it. Extremely basic on the inside, may be a weekend car.

Astons are notoriously finnicky.
Be prepared to spend a lot of time in the garage.

I think all super cars are very temperamental
Porsche's are the exception, Ferraris and Maserati's I hear are terrible. My ex-boss had a new Ferrari and at 3000k the gear box went, then something else...etc. He got rid of it soon.

yeah like cars you would draw as a kid

Wouldn't mind one of these

Morgan V8, Jaguar E-Type and Bentley Continental GT

I want to get a caterham R300 or R400, you can get one for under £20k, road legal and basically a track speed car. The 620R is harder to find and obviously more new. About the only road cars on the track near a 62R would be Bugattis, Paganis, Aventadors etc, and thats just down to top speed. After that a Grantourismo, DB9, or Lambo would be great. See loads of Bentley Conti GTs around, but I dont really like them.

schmee 150 has some pretty decent videos like this mcclaren video. basically the mclaren has the power to weight ratio of a caterham or ariel atom and can power slide with control coming out of the corners as you can see.

I had a matchbox version of this car. Actually I think it was a hot wheels, Christmas 1970.
Always wanted the full size version but does anyone know what it is?

Good guess, obvious E and D influence but it's not a Jag. It was actually a Welsh firm originally back in 1959 but moved to England in the 70's and the brand actually lasted for 48 years until 2007.
Last model was a bit of a beast.

I had that car, TVR Tuscan S in spectraflair. It shimmered in the right light. Amazing.
You'd get filmed just driving on the motorway and foreigners think you're a mega high roller because it looks and sounds like a £250K car.
The problem is that it was a £44K car and in life you get what you pay for...
Still the most beautiful car I will ever own but you'd be deaf for a day after a long ride, it ran so hot in summer, and I felt like a penis squeezing inside a condom to fit in it.
It also belies the myth that a nice car gets you hot girls. If you're any sort of player by the time you get the girl to the car you've already closed, so who cares what you drive.

What's the deal with TVR's?????
Last I heard they were bought out by Russians, just went on Auto Trader and all the cars on there are quite old, only two are less than 8yrs old....are they no longer made?
