Hmm what a good question. Well if money was really no object it really would be the one car I have always wanted and that is an Austin Healey 3000, in original factory condition in pale blue over cream two tone.
As a avid fan of the Honda S800 which I owned back in the 70’s I could be tempted by an S2000, as I reckon if they had kept developing them the S2000 is were it would be now. Actually if the money issue went away, I might just have a fully restored S800.
Oh so many choices and that’s without starting on the e-type, AC Cobra, Jaguar XK etc. etc.

MX5 is my 2nd Sports car, setting up for use purely as a track car.
My 1st love is my 911. 2 Weeks older than me, 3.2 flat 6 with an exhaust that make people scowl until they see the car. I will never sell this.

I would love to go back to a British classic for my second sports car . Having owned a number over the years I think the humble MGBs have given me a more fun driving experience but I’ve always believed the spitfire had the edge on the looks . Given the chance I would definitely go British again but with our beautiful MX5s ancestor the Lotus Elan . Indeed I think this is why I drive a 5 now .

- Lotus Elise with Honda K24 with K20 Type R head (gets you around 300hp N/A if tuned properly)
- Lotus Exige - one of the older ones, the new one is too heavy and with Honda K24 with K20 Type R head (gets you around 300hp N/A if tuned properly)
- Koenigsegg Jesko
- Latest 911 GT3 RS
- Honda Civic FD2R
- GT86
- Perhaps the latest Yaris GR
I can once see myself owning an Elise (probably without Honda K-series due to costs), FD2R or GT86. The rest is just dreaming 
Money no object, it would have to be a Bristol 404. I’ve wanted one ever since having a ride in one belonging to a friend of my Dad in 1957.

I’ve always liked the later Lotus Elise models , but alas they’re out of my pay grade, and I think I would struggle to get myself in and out as well

I’m still young enough to do that

I was born and grew up in West London, and I remember there was a Bristol showroom in West London somewhere, and I remember as a lad when out and about with mates, ( 1970s ) looking at these cars through the window and thinking how traditional and classy they looked.
Theres a showroom in Kensington but I thought they went out of business but there appears to still be one there?

It would seem that its still there, I Googled Bristol cars and there are the opening times on the website, unless that’s out of date.
The third picture in the photo sequence on the website is how I remember it, with the Blue signage background, and that 2 seater car on the website is the Bullet, what a beauty

Polished aluminium was standard at the time, front wheel brakes were an optional extra. Mine does not have them!
