I couldn't afford the Alfaholics car I mentioned earlier in the thread so I bought this:

Rover V8?

Indeed sir - 4.5 litre, lifted straight out of a Range Rover.

I'd probably have my old Evo back from when I lived in Japan. Bought it when it was about to be junked, then spent 6 months getting it running right and over double that building it up. When work changed and I had to move back to the UK I had to part it out. A very sad time, as it was such good fun to drive 😟

Paint job would be, BRG/Saffron yellow of course, if the factory could accommodate.

Resurrecting an old thread here while I wait for my computer to finish installing some software.

I know I would have a deLorean by now. Nothing about performance obviously, everything about having something quirky and tinkerable with that makes me smile.

you could do a lot worse :)

For me this time around it was a tough choice between the Exige and a C7 Corvette, i absolutely love the look of those things.  To be honest the thing that put me off is that the C8 is hopefully on the way and is better in many ways (mid engine, and RHD!).   I suspect in a few years I'll break and get one of those.  However, if it's anything like my other departures from Lotus then i'll own it for a year, get bored of it, and finally come back to the fold and beg forgiveness for my betrayal

Mazda MX-5 is inspired by the Elan so I might give one of those a go.

I wouldnt - they are bland and characterless, its like a 2 seater family saloon. 

They are banned from S11 by the way 😉

Would have to be a McLaren or a bike engined Westfield ;)

Is a Westfield allowed or is it just a re-badged Lotus 7?

It does sound like fun and I have thought about one myself.

I quite like the idea of one of those Motorsport Tools brand-new mk2 Escorts, with seam welded fully caged shell. 6 link back axle and 2.5l 4 cyl duratec with 200+ bhp and loads of torque, etc
