    You have 100.000,- Euros.
    Which car would you buy? (for a third car in your garage)
    New, used, vintage, race, street, brand...or whatever please tell me.
    Only 1 car don`t split the budget!

    With € 100,000 you wouldn't buy too much in the vintage Ferrari market, but here is my choise:

    250 GT Boano (which needs to be restored)

    or

    250 GT PF Coupé (with work).

    This is not easy since I have to make some assumptions:
    - The thread is in the Europe section and the price is Euros, so I assume I'd be living in Europe and drive the car in Europe. I'm not nitpicking here, since this has some serious implications: My dream cars in Europe are different from my dream cars in the US simply based on what everybody else drives. Over here a German car might be considered hip, whereas in Europe a big US car might be cool.
    - I don't know the Europian market prices as well as the US, so I can only assume they're somewhat similar.
    - Since Wolfgang asked this question I define Europe as continental Europe and exclude Britain where AFAIK the regulations to cars are much more easy going (similar to the US) than what German TUEV or Swiss FMK demands. That has a direct impact on what cars are in or out (e.g. no F40 in Switzerland).
    - Wolfgang mentions the 3rd car, which would be precisely my situation. So I have my basic Ferrari needs already covered.

    Ok, nuff foreplay. One car, in addition to my existing Ferrari, 120k US, German TUEV made for German consumption.

    Ford GT

    ...and if TUEV is not the issue: Ford GT40 replica from Southafrica

    @nasharty, the Doge Viper SRT is an awesome great & funny toy - but sadly still a truck without any italian blood. My neighbour bought one and its one of the most amazing sounding cars I have ever heared.

    @Simon, Countach LP400......the Diablo SV, yellow is stil on the list and within the budget of 100K. Stratos.......I love to drive and not repair, same to the "rough" Daytona.

    @Roel,
    Alfa Romeo 1900SSZ.....mhmmm......i get headache...I hate you to reminde me on this car;) Brilliant input.
    And yes, ONLY 100K :(

    @trkevin, YES, the 250PF is on the list!!! Thanks :)

    @Tina, "probably save the money" NO! I wanna have fun right now :)

    @tridente78, Maserati could be on the list but only the ´50th and early ´60th if its within the budget.

    @Bruce, thanks bros yes I do love the TR styling but..........pfffff, its not easy at all.
