The former tenants are nearly gone from what will be my new man-cave next to my office. Room for about 8 cars, not including any allowance for use of lifts or a mezzanine. I can see Pistonheads getting a thorough watching over Xmas!

An FF for daily use.....

Man caves rule! Work in mine most days and I love it. Not quite on the same scale as your Ewan but I do have a full kitchen and bathroom as well as two spaces for cars and bikes and my desk etc. It’s great to have a place to go to work or with friends that is totally yours and therefore absolutely comfortable.

Wait 3 months from the crash-out-Brexit and it most certainly will be. I can see RHD Testarossa’s
halving to £50k (again).
Blimey... just imagine. I would love a red testarossa- but who would service it?!

mate of mine bought an immaculte low mileage rhd testarossa couple of years ago for a tad over 100k, his plan was to mothball it for about 4/5 years as an investment and sell it a healthy profit, think he's now regretting buying it looking at how they are now dropping

I’m quite tempted by the LHD one at Forza 288 (which is close by). I’d then have it serviced by Emblem (who do a lot for Forza already). Would be great for a summer Euro trip.

So far, going into this space are the GranCabrio MC, Venturi Atlantique, Citroen SM and the Porsche 944, as these are already stored elsewhere as the garages at home are full. It’s likely that the F400i and F550M might move to here also. But this still leaves me with some space to fill with new toys.

Thoughts so far are (one of): F Testarossa, 328GTB or 360 manual. Late Lotus Esprit GT3 or V8. Lambo Jalpa or Uracco. Late Aston DB9. Maser Shamal (again), QP IV (again), mk2 Ghibli GT (again) or Stradale. Porsche 911 (which, frankly, could be virtually any model of the past 40 years, other than the 996 with its horrid plastic interior). New Alpine A110. Alfa 4C. Caterham.

I bought my 360 from Forza 288 and it was a pleasurable experience.
He bought it back of me when I went to NZ as no one on here was interested.
He certainly has a nice set up there in the New Forest and a Good Guy to deal with.

How about a classic such as this

or maybe this

There's a few Panteras around too.
