Lottery win autoshite

[jon.k]

If anyone on autoshite wins the lottery but wants to remain part of the community, I’ve found the perfect car. I knew they were weird, but had forgotten quite how bad some of them looked.

Any other expensive ways to drive an autoshite car?

Knew it would be a Bristol by the first 2 posts. They really do look hand built

I must admit there is very little new stuff that excites me. Maybe a Jaguar F type. A lottery win fleet would have to include something pre-war, or just post war, something from the early fifties, most likely a Riley RM. I have a Landrover 110, a Jaguar X type and a new Ford Focus. I have been looking at Merc CLK convertibles. They seem so cheap for so much car. There's probably a very good reason for that.?? 

[Aston Martin]

The Fighter for me.

It would have to be one of these. If I win it tonight, this one:

There was a green one for sale for ages but its gone recently. A silver one of the same shape like in the Daily Mail car review (possibly the same one I guess by the numbers produced) is also for sale.

I see absolutely zero appeal in these they're like an Austin Maxi transformer thats not re-assembled properly .

I'll give you the early ones look a bit better.

[Skut]

One of these. Local Dundonian small scale productuon is supposed to start next year. The ADO is a Midget based thing with superb looks and an interior that needs a fuck ton of development work. Could do with stuff like wipers as well really. I fear the lottery win might have to fund productionising it before I could buy it. 

[Skizzer]

Easy — one of these, an early Lagonda.

I'd bring this GS Birotor over from Jersey...

I'd defo want to find one of these.

Prices seemed to get silly over the last few years but this sold for just over £50k this year. 

*edit*

Fuck me though you'd need to do something about the Marty Hopkirk interior. 

Thats fucking awful. Who owned it Liberace?

I’d buy a mk2 escort 2 door rally replica and turn it back into a basic shopping car, and tell the internet. 

[HMC]

I’d also buy a mk2 escort 4 door ghia as I’ve wanted one since they were unloved bangers (I was 10 in1990 and it was the default buy/thrash/crash/throw away for all young drivers back then it seemed) now a lottery win is needed.

Not liking the "Gentlemens club"  interior of Bristols, I prefer the Italian take on American-engined posh shite: De-Tomaso Longchamp

Italy made my favourite Aston Martin too. In between those tiresome DB cars (the originals and the moderns) were the proper V8 Aston Martins and best of all, Skizzer's Lagonda and the Zagato. I am a 2 door guy, so the Zagato for me please.

^ re the GK- you can see even from the outside it’s been a bit breathed on, the tyres, Avon turbospeeds they are not. If memory served GK interiors are usually low key black and bit of chrome. Similar to MGB owners that Chuck world of leather and fake wood at the interior.

But what would you buy to drive, aren't they always broken?

Or the Kyalami which is virtually the same car. 

Not sure which is better as they have different engines according to Wikipedia.

If I squint (or scrunch my eyes whilst vomiting) that first Bristol could be a jelly mould Scorpio from the rear shot.

I've posted somewhere on here before how you could immeasurably improve the rear of that car (apologies for the shonky 'photoshop') 

I reckon thats okay? 

[purplebargeken]

Christ, it looks like the group sex offspring of a Rover 75, Ford Granada, Ford Capri and a Jag X300.

Not a fan of the 'modern' Bristols but the really old stuff, yes.

Huge horn for the Lagonda, irrespective if it works or doesn't.

[Spiny Norman]

From one of the largest refrigerator manufacturers in Italy, the Iso Fidia.

Alfa Montreal. Still relatively low price you could probably get this of a scratch card win.

[brownnova]

Yes definitely a Lagonda, but for ultimate Shite school run points... 

A Lamborghini LM002.

Like an Umm Alter II on steroids. 

[Conan]

If I ever won the lottery the first thing I'd get is some land and built a dry storage.

 

Then I'd probably buy a lot of chod.

 

I'd be like Jay Leno, but with Mazda 626, Lancia Thema, Renault 21 and Fiat Tempra etc. etc.

[ProgRocker]

A relative bargain compared to 2 door RWD Escorts:

Although having watched HubNut's Triumph 2000/2500/2/5PI video yesterday, I could now be swayed towards one of those.
