I'm guessing that 288 GTO will be quite a bit more than the Lambo...

yeah the 288 gto is something else, very rare and expensive, we know that, but that Lambo is way over the top on price...... :roll:

Ones that nobody has mentioned, neither of which i think will be great around a track but both being built in such low numbers should hold there value well and IMHO look amazing.

The 8C is a very interesting choice, however as I understand it's not a drivers car by any stretch of the imagination. Extremely pretty car however.

If it were me, I'd plough my money into a 360 CS and never look back. Far prettier than the 430 Scud, makes a much better noise and lets be honest, the original is always the best (says the chap with an S2 :roll: ).

Black 8C passed me last night on my walk home - sounded amazing. Very pretty but strangely little "presence" in the metal.

Agree on the 360CS suggestions, thinkers choice. Probably not far off money in the bank.

Fairly sure it's now an ex-Chris Evans car, or at least is currently for sale. Reckon he spent a couple of hundred thou restoring it too.

I have resisted the temptation to comment as my opinion, as a shandy drinking Gayman driver, is probably worthless..............

360CS or similar age GT3 RS or older classic track biased metal.

More betterer than there esteemed (and technically probably better, being the new cars) modern counterparts in that they don't make them anymore so the values are related to the number available, AKA the 964RS, good examples of which are now well north of more modern metal. This cycle will continue I guess, again values of '74 911RS.

If it's investment, rarity and extreme track potential perhaps older more classic metal with a track bias?, maintain it well and get your money back, hopefully.

Please note the value of your investment may go down as well as up, enjoy whatever you but of all the suggestions will be awesome............i love cars and my name is Malcolm.
