FE be damned - top 5 cars

OK - so you have just won the county, state, national, Euromillions lottery. You have paid off the debts, the house is yours, the kids are sorted and the wife (or hubby or partner) is happy.

You have a 6 car garage and after the "family" motor you have 5 spaces to fill. What would you buy ? And why ?

To start the ball rolling, my top 5.

1. Lancia Stratos


Because it looks so wild, and is a rally champion. The interior door "bins" have spaces built in for rally helments - no honest... I know there is an updated one but the original one is the one I would buy.

2. Lambo Countach Original


The original shape is the best and most dramatic. Mine must have orange seats.

3 Metro 6R4


0-60 in 3 seconds. On mud, snow, gravel or indeed any surface...

4. Mini Cooper S 970


The world famous Mini Cooper S models were usually the 1071 and 1275cc models, I want a high revving saloon racing 970S. Imagine one of these vs. a 5 litre V8 Ford Falcon. The Mini would win if the circuit was twisty enough...

5. Bentley Turbo R


From the Pre-BMW/VW buyout of Bentley and RR - A fast Rolls that handles as well as it goes fast.

And not an SUV in sight
