A 997 S without a shadow of doubt. Went in a mates back to back with my coupe around Donnington and I cannot believe how much quicker that was.

In black please with a 20mil drop.

A 911 GT2 but with the budget Lee has set it would have to be LHD but I would not find that a problem :D

A restored, sorted, amended MGB GT V8! the nearest thing to this is the MC,shape,driver position, noise! I believe the designers copied some details of the V8 to arrive at the end result we all love, there is really no other car like it!( the MC that is!)The V8 has it on acceleration noise though, the only motoring racket that stirs my soul!

It largely depends what the car is used for.

I would buy a CSL and then pick up an e30 m3 Sport Evo for weekends.

For a modern car (even if it is a bit retro styled) definetly a Wiesmann GT Coupe. However they are £80k! So would have to wait a bit till 2nd hand prices come down. Could be a while though as price holding up well according to article on Pistonheads, they only make a handful a year.

Looking at older cars, similar to JKE11Y it would be an MG. Something a bit special though, it would be a MGC GTS Sebring replica (orginals - only two of the three left I believe are worth mega bucks). The bulging archs are so MC ish.

I wouldn't call it ugly overall (the GT that is), but I think the front half is a bit pretentious and does not look good.

BUT take the rear half from the windscreen backwards, THAT is what I think the Z4M Coupe should have looked like (instead of the abrupt drop followed by that stupid boot lip). Any photoshop experts out there - tack the Z4M front onto the rear of the Weisman :?:
