I was just reading about the recent death of a Swiss aristocrat, who was a great fan of all things British. His favourite car was the P6 Rover 3500S and when he heard that BL were stopping production of it in 1977 (the final car is illustrated), he put in an order for several of them in order to last his life-time. Considering it turned out to be another 32 years until he died aged 92, I hope he bought at least 10 of them!



Anyway, all things being equal, if you had to have only 1 model of car currently in production to last you for the rest of your (hopefully) long life, what would it be? Don't worry about perceived reliability etc, as you would just replace a knackered one with another one out of your collection. You need to weigh up practicality and enjoyment etc.

I would probably be happy with the Maserati Quattroporte. This is the 430bhp "S" version:

 

my p1!

 

M5

 

My little RC car. Otherwise the cost of the coffin would be rather hefty...

 

Well if I hit black ice in my GT3 we could be buried together!!

 

Iv had a v8 P6 s - got it for nothing and sold it for £50

Stratos in Allitalia colours ( no replicas need apply) I spoke to someone who owned one a few years ago and the first time he drove it he put down a ditch ,lucky B.

 

there was a bloke in USA who was buried seated in his corvette

think A team type corvette.

 

1140 cc Hillman Imp.... 2 x 40's, etc., with front dics of course !

LOL

 

If only 1 car it would have to have at least 8 cylinders, an estate and 4wd, so I suppose I'll have to go for the Audi Avant RS6

 

993 Targa

Lovely car

 

Nissan Skyline R32 GTR I will have one, one day and keep it forever

 

Probably this -



Dan

 

You may need one of these first though

 

What a strange question.

To shuffle it up a bit, I know what car will probably take me to my grave.
