What would you buy with £25,000?

[Richard]

[CYANIDE STEVE]

Go to Poland and buy 60 FSOs

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

I'd intall a weighbridge on my drive.

[Guest]

Austin 3-litre and the best Sherpa Pilot I could find.

[Angrydicky]

A barn to store my tat in

[eddyramrod]

While it's very tempting to list a bunch of cars, and believe me I could! - I'm with Dicky and the several others who are going for a barn, or at least a decent lockup. I've already got two to protect that are living on-street, so it would be the wisest course of action.

 

But wisdom aside: the Caro truck hiding in Paphos for a daily, and a 1959 Buick Electra for best.

[R9UKE]

With £25k I'd probably do the already mentioned "as many cheap shit heaps as you can off eBay" thing. Leaving enough for a 3.5 V6 Laguna Coupé Monaco as a daily

[rml2345]

£25k huh?

 

Rover P6B

Nice Volvo 760 estate

Tidy up my 740

 

BFO garage to keep them all in and loads of tools/shares in BP.

[Rebuilda]

All the other Duttons... £25K should cover it with some change I reckon...

[SambaS]

a bit of land somewhere. If there was change from my land I'd get a Talbot Express Camper to live in and drive to Tunisia to visit my cousin

[ProgRocker]

For £25k I would want something like a post 1967 Citroen DS.

[M'coli]

For £25k I would want something like a Citroen SM.

FTFY!

[dollywobbler]

For £25k I would want something like a post 1967 Citroen DS.

 

I'd imagine you could get two for that! There's some big prices being asked for DSs at the moment, but the market is thankfully still rooted in sensible street.

[TagoraSX]

[vulgalour]

Some purple paint, a welding machine and some excellent driving attire.

[Cavcraft]

Shergar, the Flying Scotsman and a colour by numbers set.

[oman5]

If I HAD to spend it, a new base model dacia sandero, a holiday to cuba (stopping off for a week in NZ on the return) and then either a 59 Buick invicta/electra, 58 plymouth savoy/Belvedere/fury/plaza or 59 Edsel.

[Ben_L]

I'd go for something shite and have it fully restored to it's brand new state... Nexia Saloon resprayed in Ford Performance Blue anyone?

[Cheggers]

The best 928 I could find, and I'd put any change towards petrol.

[Spiny Norman]

I couldn't possibly spend £25k on just one car, in fact I doubt if I could keep it down to single figures.

Inspired by Mr Bol's Lebcoin spots I'd be very tempted to hire a car transporter and head of down to la belle France and load up with as many old Renaults as it can carry.

[flat4alfa]

A four-wheel-steer Bedford coach, fitted out with dancing pole and a gaggle of Latvian Ladies.

[Bobthebeard]

I would save up another £5,000 and buy a Snap-On tool kit. Wouldn't be able to afford the cabinet on wheels to put it in though...

[GJR 11L]

Hmm....

The very best Panda Parade limited edition left in the world. And with the remaining £23,843 I'd pay cute actor wifey Diane Parish - who played the part of Beth in televisual shite-fest "Lovejoy" and currently doesn't look like she's really enjoying her job in "Eastenders" - to come round to my place every Thursday afternoon at 3 o' clock and polish the car. Any energy she had left over could be invested in polishing something else.

[face]

A Lotus Esprit - James Bond Moonraker spec.

 

And the change on Barbara Bach and a time machine.

[Six-cylinder]

I seem to get such a thrill out of buying a Sub £1000 car it almost seems a waste to spend £25k in one go when I can get 25 thrills!

 

Chris

[stilo_active]

I'd spend it on many different cars and I'd want the following, some very specific.

 

I'd love a garage full of Delta Integrales, Ferraris and I'd so love a Citroen DS. But what I really want are these:

 

Mk1 Fiat Uno 70S

1982 Citroen Visa 2 Super X

Citroen GSA

Fiat 128 Rallye

Talbot Samba convertible, a Citroen LNA and a 104 4 door saloon

Alfasud

Early Lancia Delta 1500

Fiat SuperStrada

Fiat Tipo 1.4 DGT

Fiat Tipo Sedicivalvole

Yugo 65

Allegro 3 in dark blue or red

Maxi 2 HLS

Talbot Alpine and/or Solara

Mini Clubman estate or a 1275 GT

Mk1 Seat Ibiza

 

and the rest of the money on Psychiatrist fees.
