Million Dollar Dream Car Garage

Posted on Oct 18, 2015 in Antique | Comments Off on Million Dollar Dream Car Garage

“If you had a million dollars, what cars would you buy for the perfect Dream Car Garage?”

Yesterday, I was asked a question by a Facebook friend. He asked “if you had 1 million dollars, what car would you buy.” Most of the responses included cars like Ferrari and Bugatti, and all included two or three cars at the most. I decided this needed some effort put into it, and came up with a list of my own. What follows is a list of all the cars I would buy with 1 million dollars. The prices are estimates based on eBay auctions, and are pretty accurate. I was able to “buy” 38 cars for the same money as a single Bugatti Veyron. I feel like a pretty smart shopper.

Saab 900 Aero Coupe 1984 $5,000.00

Jaguar XJ40 V12 1993 $6,000.00

Jaguar XJS Coupe 1995 $8,000.00

Aston Martin Lagonda 1989 $30,000.00

Lincoln Continental 1947 $30,000.00

Lancia Stratos Replica 1972 $30,000.00

Iso Lele Coupe 1973 $40,000.00

Morgan Plus 8 Roadster 2003 $45,000.00

Jaguar XK120 Coupe 1953 $50,000.00

Jaguar XK140 Roadster 1956 $50,000.00

TVR Sagaris Coupe 2005 $55,000.00

 

 

 

Lotus Exige S 2012 $60,000.00

Bristol 403 Coupe 1955 $65,000.00

Rolls Royce Silver Shadow 1978 $25,000.00

 

 

The total for all these beautiful cars is $947,000.00. This allows a little left over for adjusting the price, and importing a few of the cars (Bristol and TVR) from another country. Of course, I would probably need another 100,000 grand for a place to put them all, but it would be worth it. I added in the Rolls Royce for fun.

If I had a few more million to play with, I would add in the following cars to the garage. This would bring the total to 5.5 million…though I might replace one of them for a Ferrari F40.
