Manual BMW M5 Tourer with the V10 lump.

That'll do :y

And put a private plate on it, that would make my penis even bigger. :D
Would prefer not to know what it would do to your penis... Mine would remain unaffected :P

Having just come out of a 2.7 diesel S-Type I can confirm the engine is superb and is a great motorway muncher.

My choice would be a mid noughties XJ-R as choice 1 and possibly a Mitsubishi GTO as second choice - I'd get both for less than £20k so I'd spend the other £20k on wine women and song  ;D

Odd choice maybe, but I'd go with a Daimler 240 (love a Mk2 but the 20k wouldn't stretch) then an L322 Range Rover with the change.

Then I'll have another £20k a year to keep them on the road, thanks!  ;D

My table tennis playing chum Chris Lowry swears by his cars: a Honda Accord estate, a Honda S1000 sports car, and a 1930 Austin 7 Swallow. I tell him I do not envy him a bit, my assortment of Omega saloons and estates keeps my family mobile  travelling in luxury at a tenth of the cost of his fleet. Mike Smith, another rich chum, has a Range Rover and a Bentley. His neighbour, whose garden I explored when I could not find Mike's house, contained an Aston Martin, a Porsche, and a Range Rover. It's probably sour grapes, but I prefer my Omegas to all of them!

Difficult question. Possibly a Mercedes C63 AMG and a Maserati quattroporte.  :-\
Probably choose something completely different if I think again in half an hour.  ;D

Ditto though I'd have to use the remaining cash for a gastric bypass so I could fit into the Caterham :-X :-[

Also, Al, why did you have to find that M5 Tourer? I looked at those when I still had the Omega but prices were out of reach at the time.. Would love one.

Capri 5.7 and the bestest Rover P5  :) Any change would be spent on going towards dropping an 8 pot in an omega  ::)

I already have one of my choices with the 370z, good mile muncher, handles well and quick enough to get you in to bother, and for 20k I couldn`t find anything else I would spend my money on.

Second choice is more of a problem, with LC, Audi ur-Quattro and 993 variety 911 all being considerably more than the 20k budget  :'(

I'm fairly happy with my incredibly dull Volvo XC70, so just a newer one or maybe a Merc E320 Est. And  . . .

A restored Truimph TR4, 5 or 6. TR5 out of choice, but not fussy.

Manual BMW M5 Tourer with the V10 lump.

That'll do :y
Might struggle to get a decent one for £20k without interstellar mileage.
I like a challenge...

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201608237061821?sort=price-desc&model=M5&make=BMW&body-type=Estate&fuel-type=Petrol&radius=1500&postcode=rh37ef&advertising-location=at_cars&onesearchad=Used&onesearchad=Nearly%20New&onesearchad=New&page=1
The M5 is the only beemer I'd consider, and fortunately not too pig ugly at the age £20k might buy for a decentish one.

But would have to be a saloon, as estates are bringing in that compromise again.
