A whole new fleet?

As some of you know, we've spent the last 2-3 months thinking up our dream fleet. The cars as we have just now have become overly needing of maintenance and can disappoint members through their non-availability. So, we've put together a fleet that should be much more reliable and hence available more of the time, but equally should be much more desirable. Both these factors will make membership even more fun! Here's my starter for 10. Note that some of the cars may appear to be similar to those we currently have, they will be 10 or so years newer (911, S600, Bentley). I also have a reserve list of cars to be swapped in and out as opportunities arise - but would love to see this topic stimulate some real discussion as to the sort of cars you guys would like to see in the club!

2000 Ferrari 456M GT
2002 Maserati 4200 GTA
1999 Aston Martin DB7 V12 Vantage
1999 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 (996)
1966 Jaguar E-type s1 Roadster (with new seats and roof)
1995 Honda NSX
1995 Bentley Turbo RL
1995 AC Cobra
1974 Rolls Royce Corniche Coupe (with some bodywork)
2002 TVR Tamora
1960 Jaguar Mk2 3.8 MOD (with new engine)
2000 Honda S2000
1997 Lotus Elise Sport160
2001 Mercedes S600L
2002 Caterham Super Seven SV
1958 Porsche 550A Spyder

This is no idle fantasy - keep watching this spot for news of how we intend to get this fleet! Comments most welcome!

Great list, Matt.

Good to see that a Bentley Turbo R is still on the list, and as one with two small kids, that there are a good few coupes.

I'd be a bit sad to see the back of the Mustang, apart from its brakes!
