geoffd Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 I feel that I should own a V12 before they become extinct. The choice is probably between a DB9, a DB7 Vantage and a 1st generation Vanquish. Heart says Vanquish, but they can be prima donnas! They do sound glorious! Quote
Dommo Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 Maserati GranTurismo S is the last vehicle on my "attainable" list. I'm going to pretend it will never break and won't try to financially violate me. Then I need to make a new list! Quote
Andy - a15cro Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 I think I’m with Simon on having an Audi RS4 or RS6, I’d also consider an R8. We (the wife) has recently got a Mustang GT so I’m quite fortunate that she likes a nice car too, although it’s a nice cruiser but not a drivers car like her previous A6. She almost went with a Merc C63 but the age put her off and I was concerned she would get itchy feet and we would be stuck with it. Quote
GaryD1971 Posted June 24, 2021 Posted June 24, 2021 Unobtainable - very long list... Obtainable - Peugeot 205 1.9Gti. Had one in the distant past and it was bonkers. Lancia Delta Integrale - had an HF Turbo and that was great. The Integrale must be amazing. MR2 turbo. Don't know why, just always fancied one but never had the opportunity. Classic mini cooper. Just because... Quote
Chris Broster Posted June 24, 2021 Posted June 24, 2021 Dream cars are just that i'm afraid... But Entry - Classic Mini 1275 GT stripped and fast road tune - just like 1986... Mid - Lancia Delta Integrale / Audi Quattro Ur / PUG T16 High - Audi RS4/RS6 or Aston Martin V8/V12 However, I am 53 and have a bought Westy, so I have set myself a target of 7 years to arrange to start a new build Westy from age 60 with my Son and Daughter; now that is a dream!

Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted June 24, 2021 Posted June 24, 2021 Petersen Bentley in a showroom far away... A mere £743,000 or A$1.250,000 Beautiful, obviously, but that is quite a price tag. Not attainable by me nor anyone I know. Quote
Martin Aldred (Neptune) - Club Treasurer Posted June 24, 2021 Posted June 24, 2021 I have more humble aspirations. E type Jag , TVR Griffith, Mercedes SL500AMG. Quote
Rob Hunter - Club Secretary Posted June 24, 2021 Posted June 24, 2021 Just for the noise, it would have to be an Alfa Romeo with a Busso V6..... 147 GTA, 164 Cloverleaf, Brera or GTV would all hit the spot and still at sensible money 👍 1 Quote

There’s no reason to think a GranTurismo will break you - the 4.7 lt. engines in the S version are pretty bullet proof. Starting price for a good one is high twenties. If you ever want Maserati advice, feel free to drop me a line as it’s very much my field (I’m currently on numbers 19 and 20, a GranSport and a 2-seat MC-Stradale). 2 Quote

Rhett Turner - Black Country AO Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 If it's attainable (or almost with reach) and I exlude other considerations I'd be thinking BMW M2 Competition or Cayman GTS Quote

I'd love to see it in the flesh 👍 1 Quote
