For 15K I wouldn't try getting either of the two. They'd be rubbish.
However you could buy a lot of cheese for that kind of money.
You can't go wrong with a nice bit of cheese.

You're not going to drive it too far. Think conservatory: it's just to stand about and look pretty. Turn the engine over and get the oil flowing with a run to Church and back on a Sunday morning*. Then wash and wax it. It really is good for you to do such to something exotic on a Sunday after lunch.
* The gear box on one these is a bit of a bugger on a cold morning. The rest though is actually pretty good and reliable actually, and what with a tame mechanic, really not as expensive as you'd think.
I suppose it depends if you want 'art' or usefulness? I'd have to be seriously rich before I started splashing out on useless auto exotic 'art' but then I'm not in your shoes.

Car for £15k

Seriously, conservatories are a waste of money in my opinion. They're far too hot in summer, way too cold in the winter. Build a "proper" extension if you want more space in the house.

Are you Wilmslow's sock puppet
What size engine does the conservatory have

Spend the £15k on high class hookers, drugs, booze and wild parties. Then just squander the rest.
