As its Mid-winter and just for Fun

[MBDevotee]

Your numbers come up tomorrow and you are £175,000,000 pounds richer.....

You are allowed by the SWMBO to buy 3 cars.... Can be new can be old, and something "interesting" like a van / motorhome etc....

and one "Toy".


To keep it vaguely Merc, I suggest at least one of the cars should be a Merc? (don't have to be I guess).


Assume you will spend £5m on a house with enough garage space to house it all, and £10m helping out friends / family etc and will keep a large chunk to save / invest.....

So lets say you have £100m to spend but obviously you don't have to spend all that........

What would you get, and why?

Silly answers perfectly acceptable......

Only if it was the Speed12

Just realised I've only spent ~£2,000,000 on those four absolute bargains every one

I think the AJP V8 will be loud enough for me

How do I drop a photo here - I am clicking "Picture" in the box but it just asks for a URL - the image is on my computer not the internet?

Easy first one and a real bargain at 250k.......my all time ultimate

Then the 'daily' again another bargain at 175k.....

Then this just to make sure I remember how idiotic motoring can be......
Whole lot under 400k, I'm a cheap sorta guy

A better wife...……..

Failing that;

Mercedes 560SEL … then do a full AMG conversion, body kit, including brakes, custom suspension, running gear of a V8 Kompressor or 5.5 bi-turbo. Respray either metallic grey or silver. (I'd rather have this than an S65!)

Ferrari LA Ferrari

Porsche 911 Turbo S

[rorywquin]

Too many to list but I'd go mainly for cars that I wanted, but could not afford, as a young man.

Ford Capri Perana V8 (variant made in South Africa with a Mustang 5.5l (IIRC) engine)
60s Mini Cooper S (or a Sunbeam Tiger)
2020 AMG GT
