*moderator hat on* minor edits made above for autocensor dodging - please don't do that! *moderator hat off*
Right - I shall refute Jos' argument by pointing out that many fantasy cars are possessed of massive purchase prices and yet are easily DIY maintainable - whereas a 15 year old BMW 7-series (for example) would be a very nice drive, cost pennies to buy and be utterly ruinous at the first hint of a service....
But I digress.
For me, the dream car is easy. 1929 Bentley 4-and-a-half, Vanden Plas tourer, preferably in black. Unmolested for racing or sprinting, just a good, honest touring WO car.
Trouble is, if I got it, I'd never, ever, ever part with it.
Mike, the 30/98 is lovely, but I have to say that my grandfather part-exchanged his when he first had a chance at a 3-litre Bentley. A "real car", he was heard to say, and I'm just praying Nick Portway isn't reading this!
