A decent man cave is one of the prerequisites for when we move to Ireland, out in the country plot sizes are much bigger than here so often they have large outbuildings

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 believe your old Cup is still for sale. Oh and as I know you’re a fan of blue, how about this?
You’ll have to grab it from Australia mind.

And if you’re missing your MC Victory, 001 would make quite the shipping crate partner.

How do you feel about Alpinas? There’a B10 BiTurbo in the U.K. that’ll probably need work but if you like Ghiblis I’ve a feeling you’ll like that. At the same vendor there’s a Alfa 164 Q4 that again will need work. Not the quickest of machines thanks to the weight but the steering is sublime and the variable torque split makes it handle like an Impreza, only with a screaming Busso V6...

I'd be happy with either/both the Shamal and the MCV. But at those prices, it'd be easier just to buy similar cars that are already here and viewable in the UK. They would both need to be advertised at about AUD 20k cheaper to take into account the cost of delivery/importation and the risk factor.
