Re: given a blank cheque...
is it really sad that i'd get JLH to make me a minor?
well actually i'd get a bugatti veyron super sports, and sell it hehe! then i'd have enough for all the JLH minors i could ever dream of!
either that or i'd have heathy12's V8 lowlight
or the beardmores spaceframed twin cam convertible!

Re: given a blank cheque...
Strange - the usual choice is a Ferrari of some sort, and no-one has suggested that so far......!
Personally - I would have the Red Bull F 1 car!!

Re: given a blank cheque...
Anyone issuing a blank cheque is clearly insane enough not to care how many cars you want.
Older and more confused than I could ever imagine possible.

Morris Traveller, modified to be slightly wider, slightly longer, 4 doors (plus the rear) with a few extra gizmos and a little more horsepower, but retain the essence of the original.

Re: given a blank cheque...
Original ford GT40, with racing pedigree would be nice. Also a Jlh modified supercharged zetec.

Re: given a blank cheque...
If you really did have a blank cheque how could you choose.A 120 Jaguar would be high on my list but where would I put the hay that I have to collect sometimes for the wife's horses.And how could I carry an old axle,bought at the breakers.So no Jag then.I am lucky enough to have a series one Land Rover that I have owned for about 30 years,which does that job but driving any distance is hard work in that(and don't mention the fuel consumption)So it looks as if the Minor will be the one.Dream on,Paul
Re: given a blank cheque...
I know quite a few people with Series 8's and a few 8 Series E, think I prefer the standard Morris 8. Still a nice car thoughregaliaqueen wrote:1940's Morris 8 Series E tourer or hardtop - not fussed (and yes I know there's one on Ebay at the moment, and no I'm not allowed it
Re: given a blank cheque...
A Bullnose Morris to go with my Flatnose, but it would have to be as original as possible.
