If I had £250,000 just to burn on cars (and I was financially secure, mortgage free, etc) then they'd be:


Weekend Classic Car: Escort Cosworth

Weekend Supercar: 997 Turbo

Track Car: Ariel Atom

My Daily Drive: BMW 335i Coupe

Her Daily Drive: A6 Avant


Then spend the rest on private registrations for them and maybe a cheeky re-map here and there...


Cheers,
Grant

Pay off my mortgage 75k
Average RS 500 to fettle with 20 k
Audi RS 4 60k
BIG 4x4 thing for the wife, no idea what, but 60K budget
35k to invest somewhere

But there’s no way I’d spend that on cars if I suddenly got 250k in my hand.
