Possible ideas
- Build the Mystery Machine?
- Build the A Team van.
- Do up a VW Westfalia Campervan.
I think if I had to choose, I'd import an a classic American muscle car like a Dodge Charger, Pontiac GTO or something similair.
No idea if I've gone over budget on any of those  |

"Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio
Stunning car and great price too.
Our son wants a Gulietta for his first car.
Good luck with the insurance  "
Surprisingly not bad at just under £2000 with a box fitted. |

"jaguar f-type

i was testing a bike on the Nordschleife and you could hear the xe project 8 supercharger echoing all around the place. the engine roaring in the distance.
i was way ahead of it on the track and the next thing i know it passed me at over 190mph.
even when it was parked up with the engine running it was awesome |

I am a traitor though as I opted for the Merc   |

"A 10k car and pay someone 40k to drive me around for a year."
I'm yours for 40k a year. I've got a defensive driving course under my belt, so can evade any pesky stalkers safely. |

I might be a total lout and get a Mustang Bullit or perhaps just a nearly new M4 convertible (I know the extra weight of the top makes it a wee bit less nimble but don’t care). |

White Lancia Delta I’d like but would have to go for a white Range Rover evoque because nobody would appreciate the Lancia or know how much they’re worth! |

An underestimated car. We have a Giulietta Sprint Specials. It's the 2.0 diesel and a great economical vehicle. Nearly 70mph and only £30 car tax per year but still a driver's car that you can throw about and do 0-60mph in just over 7 seconds. |

I'd have a Toyota C-HR Hybrid and have it kitted out
I'd buy a second hand Mazda MX-5 with the change
If there was anything else left, then another oldish Saab, just because I love them and miss having one |

I don’t know which car I’d buy but it would be sold very soon afterwards. I’d carry on driving my old banger and use the money to pay my bills and a family holiday in the US. |

"6r4 and why well check them out and tell me why not
A man after my own heart 
A nice manta or mk2 escort would do "
Chevette HSR might be an alternative or for the total loony toons experience a TR8 |

Some strange and interesting choices but remember it’s a car / bike / bus for you.
It’s a prize so use it.
For us no BMW would ever be on the drive as we find them old fashioned butveach to their own, there’s no accounting for taste.

"What would you buy and why?
P.S. You have to spend all of it on a vehicle / vehicles.
Still wouldn’t be able to afford the one I want... "
Okay you bought 2 tickets so you won £100K, come on then, what is it? |

I love my cars, for a lady I am a motor head.
Happy with my current Merc Convertible but there’s always room for the latest model.
Not into Porsche, but Mr M has expensive taste, he wants a McLaren 720s. |

A nice Land Rover Defender (refurbished and upgraded through a reputable specialist), or the best Range Rover I could find for the money. Money WELL spent |

My husband's friend had one. Said every trip out a few would ask about it. I don't think a rr would do that |
