Matt these are bloody stunning. Fell in love with a black one for 166. Worried ++++ about depreciation and loss of life. But I think for the money they are the most stunning things around. Talk about an event. Much more so than a standard hurucan IMo

Matt, that’s a really interesting selection of cars. They are all great in their own way and not just the most expensive cars which makes them all the more special. That Hellcat would make me laugh every time I opened her up but I can only imagine what my wife would say if I turned up in a bright orange one and rattled every window in the house with it only on tick-over!!

I agree with all your centiments.

I have not tried a 720 yet, but that orangy one linked above is a wonderful looking thing, and a league above the huracan, I would imagine.
Those used UK prices are very good. Same thing here +100KGBP :(

If you are buying one to keep Iain then don't worry about the money. But with your car addiction I am not sure you would keep and be looking for the next one. Problem with the 720 is that anything you buy after would feel a little slow. Love the 720 but think I would go 600 LT as that is suppose to be the best car McLaren make currently.

Listening to you saying you miss the GT so what about a Stradale. Yes I'm sure it will feel dated and slower than what you have had recently but it's not always about that....

I need some help from the forum.
I keep dithering between a 458 spider, Cali T with Special Handling pack, and a Hurucan. I have missed out on two good deals due to indecision. Am I right to be undecided?

Until my wife finds out seriously do you think it would be more fun than the others? With a sensible head the free Ferrari servicing is attractive and the potential for no roof

Lambo. I've driven all you list. Spider with those fairings is very pretty, but the lambo is just out of this world. Lower and more spacey in person, also the most alive drive of the three. Huracán!

Of those three, it’d be the Lambo for me. It’s a box you need to tick.

Of all the cars I’ve had, it’s the Lambos that gave the greatest pleasure. It’s the drama, the noise, the presence, etc. Others don’t come close to matching that. Though currently, an early Aventador gives best value.

What a very nice decision to have to make!
Well given you’ve had a couple of Ferrari’s, I’d go with what several here have suggested

I'm over the moon with the T Iain
It drives lovely and I didn't think I'd have the roof down as much as I have had it down.
I'm not a Lambo fan, they're a bit too brash for me but they do sound lovely so as other people have said you've scratched the Fezza itch maybe try a Lambo as you haven't been there yet.

I dont think the 458 is a pretty car, if your going to go the Ferrari route consider an F12 they sound epic, look great and go like stink... It seems the Lambo has a large reccomendation on here and I agree with that choice too.
