Dammit - I spoke too soon, Marcus. Was hoping to see the Ghost II in your Top 10 but that pesky Flying Spur persists.
Personally, I’d take the Roller as my choice of ultimate luxury weapon.

If I could fantasise about just 3 cars to take me through to my end of days, it would be:
Rolls Royce Ghost II
Toyota Land Cruiser 300 ZX
Porsche 911 Turbo S or GT3 (still can’t decide between the two).

My top 10 garage just builds on the above, and assuming that I opt for the Turbo S…

Porsche 911 GT3
Range Rover Mk 5
BMW M5 CS
Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo 4S
Tesla Model S Plaid
Ferrari 296 GTB
Lamborghini Huracan STO

You killing me boss. I wouldn’t even cast a second glance at that Bentley if the Ghost II was in the picture.

"The Affordable Pre-1980 Classics Ultimate Garage For No More Than 50K Euros Total":

1.) Early 1970s' Alfa-Romeo 1750 Berlina (sedan). 13-14K will fetch a well-kept example.

2.) Late 1960s' FIAT 124 Coupe. 12-13K.

3.) Mid-to-late 1960s' MG Midget. Around 12-13K Euros.

4.) Late 1970s' Citröen CX 2400 GTi. About 10K Euros.

 

[Mick Briesgau]

Ah, that Citroën CX 2400 GTi, what a very nice car that would be in anyone‘s garage.

I remember dearly, a friend’s father was a Citroën-only type. That in a neighborhood were most were driving British: usually Jaguar XJ and Rover SD1 and a few BMW E3 /E23. In those days, I thought the CX was from another planet, with it’s original instruments and steering wheel. Never fell out of love with it…

It’s like reading my own wishlist, maybe throwing an SL AMG in there, not excluding any mentioned though.

Top 10 - Ultimate garage revisited...

Rolls Royce Ghost II
Toyota Land Cruiser 300 ZX
Porsche 911 Turbo S
Porsche GT4 RS
Range Rover Mk 5
BMW M5 CS
Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo GTS
Tesla Model S Plaid (as long as you've got a yoke, you're a gonner)
Ferrari 296 GTB
Lamborghini Huracan STO
McLaren 765LT Spyder (edit - that was short-lived but way too fast for me sooo...)
Toyota GR Yaris

...Or maybe ditch the Lambo (NA bliss! noooo...) for the 765LT? Thank goodness this is just fantasy.

In reality, all I really need is this:
Porsche Cayman GT4 RS
Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo GTS
Toyota Land Cruiser 300 ZX
Toyota GR Yaris

That would cover all my motoring needs entirely.

 

[Merc1]

I’ll have to rethink my top 10 too. We’re at inflection point with ICE vehicles.
