• Nice.

    That’s what I hoped you’d say.

    Sub £50k, modern and dramatic is quite a short list as far as I can make out:

    Aston
    R8
    4C
    GranTurismo
    Evora

    The i8 is getting cheaper but for big European adventures it doesn’t make sense.

    Anything I’m missing?

  • Evora is tempting, but might be a bit breaky.
    I suspect that once you have got over the performance the R8 is just another dull Audi. Certainly to these eyes the looks got old fast.

    F Type?
    Merc SL?
    Ferrari 360s are falling below the 50k mark if you want something older.

  • I’m not yet in my 40s, which I think means I’m not legally allowed to own an F Type.

    As you say, R8 is just a fast TT really, ditto SL, just a Merc.

    I fear a £50k 360 would be a shitter. I went to view a cheap 348 once. It was really horrid. Ferraris don’t seem to respond well to actually being used.
