    New Vanquish is nice (But for the 170K you are still buying a 10 year old DB9 in drag)
    The SL Class is fantastic however by your standards far too cheap (you can get the AMG 63 at 140k or the v12 SL65 at a little under 170k but frankly the SL350 great the SL500 more than enough for the road. leaving the AMG as being a bit of a car for new money rather than taste.
    Bentley GT or CTC ? (fancied an older CTC myself but want to drive the car not let it sit in a garage while I drive some miserable pile of crap like a golf all week... )
    I fancy a Brabus. I had one 5 years ago and it was just fantastic

            Nothing screams "recruitment agent" like a Gumpert Apollo.

            I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

                vintage everyday: A Car That has Everything, 1952

                A Car That has Everything, 1952
                Louie Mattar, who turned his 1947 Cadillac into a how-to guide for four-wheeled DIYers everywhere. As LIFE told its readers in a March 1952 article, “A Car That has Everything,” Mattar was “a San Diego garage owner with a big imagination.”

                "When he bought a brand new Cadillac four years ago, the extra equipment his dealer offered was not enough and Mattar started to add a weird assortment of things that other motorists can only dream of.
                Doing most of the work himself, he put in a shower, coiling the pipes from his 50-gallon water tanks around the exhaust manifold for the hot water. A pumping system was crammed under the hood. Next to the taillight went a drinking fountain and under the dashboard a tape recorder and a bar with spigots for whisky, water and soda. In the back seat he put a washing machine, a stove and even included a kitchen sink. All this took four years to do and cost Mattar better than $14,000."

                  That is indeed exceptionally good taste. Too good for CUK.

                  Personal choice though, I´d go for the Aurelia GT, but unfortunately seeing as there's no price mentioned in the ad I expect it's in the category of 'if you have to ask then you can't afford it'.

                  Lancia Aurelia GT B20 Fifth Series RHD For Sale (1956) on Car And Classic UK [C387758]

                  I still like Lancia; I've owned a few of their newer cars like the Ypsilon, which is a hell of a laugh, and a Delta. But I wish someone in Italy would stick heart and soul and a lot of euros into turning Lancia into what it once was and could be. They showed this several years ago at motor shows but didn't go on and build it. Madness, they would have sold those like hotcakes.

                    Get some kids, that'll chew through your budget and need for an expensive car very quickly.

                      A bloke who lives near me has an 037 stradale. I think it might be a beta monte carlo conversion but I'm not sure as he also has a Ferrari 330 GT 2+2. I've always fancied one of these myself

                      While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'
