Justin Case Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 No mention yet of the Panther DeVille, which looks like a Bugatti designed by Liberace, with Landcrab doors, making it the default choice for the lottery winning Shiteist.

mitsisigma01 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 £18999 01-Nov-2019 London Trade 1972 Fiat 130 Coupe - Manual In 1971, Pininfarina designer Paolo Martin introduced the Fiat 130 Coupe. It was one of two large coupés styled by Pininfarina in the 1970s, the other being the Rolls-Royce Camargue. Hidden beneath..... Looks nice in Red.

Always liked the Venturi - a real shame that it wasn't a seller here. A lotto win for me would be spent on getting some CX parts (panels, especially) re-manufactured and, where possible, undercutting CX-Basis by as much as possible.

egg Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 oh, I'd have a TX as well of course - probably in green like this one.

Jerzy Woking Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Mid 80's Rolls Royce. Immaculate condition inside and out. But fitted with Cummins diesel engine. Riley RM as my dad used to borrow his boss's one. I remember standing on the running board as my dad drove down our street. And replace the motorbikes I have just sold because of my move with like for like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

320touring Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 One of these - most reasonable at 18-25k. Then I would use the rest of the lottery win money to hire the boy who originally built the engine, and the chassis chap. And maybe the brake lad too.

eddyramrod Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Some good shouts there. Obviously I would go for this... There would, of course be the usual selections from Rolls Royce, Aston Martin and Jensen , not to mention Cadillac. But I have another idea for a few weeks later, which may surprise a few people. My antipathy towards German motors is fairly well-known, but... An early 70s 911 Targa - has to be a Targa with that lovely rollover hoop, and early 70s to get the slim bumpers and a maximum of 2.4 litres under the hood. I'd probably never drive it. I mean, who in his right mind wants to be seen in a German car? Skizzer and HMC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon.k Posted December 23, 2019 Author Share Posted December 23, 2019 I think I’d buy a barn and fill it with one of every model of 80s and early 90s Peugeot, with a couple of scruffy doubles for minging winter use. loserone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownnova Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I have oft said to Mrs_nova that were I to win said lottery to any large degree, I’d buy the (now closed) factory building down the bottom of the village and turn it into my personal car storage/occasional museum where all the exhibits would be either on the road or working towards. In there I’d havea hall of the unloved hero, in which unloved cars such as Yugos, Daewoo Esperos, Skoda Estelles and Reliant Robins would be displayed. No exotica, just good ordinary cars. In all seriousness I’d also probably get my 9000 nut and bolt rebuilt too. And build a homage car to the original brown Nova which started my driving career. And maybe I’d daily a Traction Avant Or go the full Brian Johnson and get one if these... eddyramrod, ProgRocker, Skizzer and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
