I'll take some of this, thanks. About 1,500 hectares will do nicely. |

An Aston Martin was top of my dream car list for a long time. 
However, there are times when a convertible would be ever so nice, and yet still have a proper tin top when the sun went down, hence the V-12 Mercedes.
The SL500, SL55 and SL65 are each nice in their own way but I think the SL600 is more me.

Materialistic eh ? 
A modest camper van/motorhome would be nice. A Hymer based on the sprinter but with the V6 engine and auto box would do me well. There is a garage at the back for a run around motorbike.

An Aston is the only car i would buy, i can't drive, can't afford what i want hence no intentions in learning to drive. My dream is the 'DB4 Zagato' |

I don't really have materialistic dreams. Well, OK, maybe a big house in the country kinda thing, but that would mean a lot of work and big heating bills. I know, a 'season ticket' for a nice hotel anywhere in the world.

A couple of acres of Scottish sea loch frontage land preferably on an island. A Caucasian Mastiff and a Galapagos tortoise would also be dream possessions that I will never own.

I guess it would be interesting to become disillusioned/bored with a Bentley Continental and it's roar but not the Naim audio.

Growing up, this was always my favourite supercar. For those not familiar with it, it might look like a bit of a wedge, but then it was designed almost 45 years ago! Still looks futuristic even now.  |

Countach? Apparently the mechanicals are a bit agricultural (after all, they do make tractors), but I'd love to try one.

Oh, hang on, it could be a Pantera?

I wouldn't care what it drove like - it still looks awesome! Granted, the LP400S may have been 1978, but the original design was 1971 - 44 years ago! If they had released this in 2015, it wouldn't look out of place if it wasn't for the current trend for curves...
Curves date - straight lines don't. The Countach is living proof.

Great looking car, but American iron under the bonnet seemed out of place.

De Tomaso Panterra was a nice car. My local Newsagent had a red one for donkies years.They were designed by South American guy {The De Tomaso badge is a clue}, using the Ford V8 allowed them to be sold in the USA thru Ford {lincoln} dealerships.. Other than that using the Ford engine was technically a good idea
