500K BUDGET what would you buy?

If you had 500,000 to spend on a car, what would you buy?

For me its the Eagle Speedster

what would you buy?

Will Gill · 10 Mar 2012 at 20:36

although they book for more, I'd be confident I could bag a Veyron for half a mil.

god knows how I'd be able to afford to run it but that wasn't one of the criteria

Vince · 10 Mar 2012 at 20:36

Probably a carrera GT or a 458 italia

Skillmister · 10 Mar 2012 at 20:42

Aventador

Ace Modder · 10 Mar 2012 at 20:44

F40 for me

Liampope · 10 Mar 2012 at 20:45

F40 and I guess I'd have some change for petrol and tyres

Wizardskills · 10 Mar 2012 at 20:52

300 SL + some other old cars

Azza · 10 Mar 2012 at 20:54

An old Mustang and a new Mustang.

JediFragger · 10 Mar 2012 at 20:55

2 Aventador's, 1 White and 1 Black

Scania · 10 Mar 2012 at 20:56

Scania R730 tractor unit & Noteboom Heavy plant trailer, set myself up as a heavuy haulage contractor.

£500k would just about do it!

- Something like this...

JRS · 10 Mar 2012 at 20:57

Bristol Blenheim 3, and some minor tweaks with the change.

P3N9U1N · 10 Mar 2012 at 20:58

an original ford gt40 (if they go for half a mill?)

Will · 10 Mar 2012 at 21:07

F10 M5 as a daily drive.
Supercharged, forged K20'd Exige prepared as a lunatic track car.
F458 for the weekend.

And some change?

Kerming · 10 Mar 2012 at 21:15

No flashy cars like the odd Zonda then?

Will · 10 Mar 2012 at 21:17

I thought the F458 was flashy enough, frankly

I love the idea of a hypercar like a Zonda but how much of your budget would it eat? What would be left over for a daily driver, given how unusable a Zonda would be day to day (come on now...hardly practical for popping to tesco or driving to work is it?)

MikeHiow · 10 Mar 2012 at 21:19

I would build a little collection

GT3 4.0 RS - Daily
Caterham R500 Superlight - Abuse
599 GTO - Weekends
and a humble F10 535i - For her/family.

I think that lot should be doable with a little bit of shopping around.

Isn't that the truckers dream? to be an owner operator

?

How do you go about starting that sort of business. start small and work up to heavy stuff?

SDK^ · 10 Mar 2012 at 21:30

A Golf VR6 should do it

The same as every business. Start small become big.
