Your top 5 coolest cars

7 Dec 2014, 3:15pm
Dreaming of a lottery win so what's your list for the top 5 coolest cars that you can buy for less than £100k each?

Well, here's three of 'em...

That's a wonderful shot. Don't think you'd get a genuine D24 for £100k though let along three :-)

If he can do that with his cars then I can do this with mine.;

His 3 plus these 2.

Job done

'sfunny, I thought Jeremy Clarkson had an SLK 55 AMG. Didn't that make it seriously, seriously, uncool when they put it on the cool wall?

Would'nt surprise me if Clarkson melted the cool wall by standing too close to it.....
He's about as cool as a baboon's arse that's been lying face down in the sun all day,
and just as good looking...

y cymro - If I won the lottery, actually having a garage would be my first priority. :icon_wink:

Unfortunately, I can't even pretend my unfinished "collection of parts" counts as a cool car. :rolleyes:

So, without giving it too much thought, I am sure the following cars would at least make my short list.

Beacham Jaguar MkII

Factory Five Racing '33 Hot Rod

Classic Mini Cooper

Aston Martin DBS
( Second hand should be under the £100k limit, unlike my #1 lottery win choice, a DB5. )

Jeremy Clarkson had an SLK 55 AMG.

Interesting. I went for the Kleeman S8 SLK instead. Far cooler

If you'd asked me this 2 years ago it would have been o-so-simple.
A brace of Lamborghinis! :)
Countach LP400, Countach 5000QV, Countach 25th anniversary, Diablo (any 4wd variant), and probably a Gallardo as a daily runaround.

Now having experienced Lamborghini ownership 1st hand (albeit kit car version) and being a few years older i actually think that i'd like more variance. so probably...

* something sporty and impractical - Jag XK180 (yes i knows it's a prototype, but an XKR powered replica would still do!)

* something luxury - Rolls Royce - i quite fancy a modern one, so whatever £100k will get. A Wraith?

* something off-road - Landrover Defender 90 - having had an RAF one as a toy for a week a few years ago it was the most fun i'd had in a car. (at least that i'm willing to share with you lot!!)

* and something just plain silly - a Lamborghini LM002 just... well... :)


Then the 5th slot i'd leave open for whatever took my fancy :)

Hey Dave, I think Paul Banham does an XK 180 kit?
Check it out if you're serious!
