If you could have any car you wanted, on the basis of you using it for your own purposes, what would you get? Assume second-hand, and NOT a supercar...
I was just looking at autotrader for fun, and think I would love to get something like a VW Caddy (or another version of one of those mini white-van type things), and do it up with a small bed in the back, together with some kind of mount for my bike. With a good set of tyres on one of those, I figure I could use it to travel all over Europe, either by myself, or with Mrs SR.
I wouldn't want to go full camper, but maybe something like this:

Similar suggestions along such lines to dream about would be welcome. As would your own "fantasy vehicle". So what'll it be?
Second hand. Not a super car, it's a grand tourer. Newport Pagnell perfection. Number 7 of 40. For sale now.
sprinter 4wd or a boxer dangle 4x4 conversion .....
on bfg ats for me to do a camper conversion in just like my current iveco daily
theres a nice example at the boneyard camper yard just now 😀
Seeing as this is STW- I'll have an Audi RS6 please, the Nogaro Edition. It's not a super car, it's just an estate. With 705bhp.

I often lust after nicely finished
t5/transit type crew vans . I’ve even started to fancy the Hyundai copy,there’s loads of those about near me. Ubertastic!
& Subaru foresters ,love the old ones especially
I dont think I could drop my aspirations this low
Audi RS3 5 door please
Tesla Model X
What? It seats 7.
If someone could track down the one and only RH drive 2012 Sportwagon that would be peachy.

In green with an LS swap please.
Doesn't have to be an i8 in the garage

The W108 (not on the lift obviously!)
If only one, then I'll have a Legacy Spec B or JDM spec GT please.
If two, then I'll have a HC Viva or Firenza, a small block V8, a proper garage and a limitless amount of time, sheet steel and welding wire. And a Transit Custom
I'd like my old DC2 Integra Type-R back.
Zigzag, that's stunning.

I don't really care for all the interior guff, but the paint, whitewalls and wheel trims just work. If I had the money, I would.
The door handle! WANT!
Probs Porsche Panamera, which is useful because I wont ever own one so I dont have to want anything.
Maybe if the suitcase had been 27.5"...
I would like a comfortable 4 wheel drive van - preferably hybrid. Eight seats - front swivelling, good luggage space and with some decent in car entertainment for music and video. Don’t care what make or model, as long as drives well, reliable with good reliability and build quality. Oh and lots of soundproofing so it is quiet at motorway speeds. Adjustable suspension would be nice too!
Moon on a stick!
Berlingo. It's amazing. Luckily I already have it 🙂

BMW E34 M5 Touring. But it would have to be RHD and none of them are..
Morgan 3 wheeler.
It's a proper car.
Boring but some sort of Range Rover (assuming I also had free servicing and parts as well....)
Yup, Rangy for me (ditto the someone else paying for service), but it would need a lot of custom modifications (roo bar, underbody armour, long range tank and rear mount for 2x spare wheels). Sadly none of these things have been available for the rangy since the P38.
Either of these, ya can’t buy em’ new anymore so they count.
Do keep thinking of a mk1 cortina with modern 3 cylinder fiesta engine would be fun (100bhp max)
Everyday car telsa model s
Though the alfa above ....
Toyota urban cruiser. Just because the name fits in with my other hobby
<span style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);">Outback H6 3.0 please.</span>
Black Porcha Carrera 4x4, the early rare one with the wing.
Oddly enough i found myself looking at 150,000 mile RS4’s on Autotrader last night going for just a little more money than the final purchase of the pcp on the daily. 😀 moneypits, im sure... but maybe for a year...
Audi RS6 Avant c5, please!

If it wasn't for having to lug the fam around, I'd have something old, crap and unparkeable like a lincoln continental

In reality I would probably opt for a T5/6 camper but these look like they have potential too.
Citroen Relay Based Type H conversion.
Ghah, what a game to play.. too many to choose from.
A restomod version, with a BMW Boxer engine conversion and discs all round.
But..butttt.but...
I quite fancy one of them Honda Odyssey’s.
looks about the right size for biking/car bivvying.
It even has an integral vacuum,
Pity they only seem to be available in North America.
hmm, my niece starts working for Honda Ohio in the summer. Wonder what her employee discount is like.... 🚐
I would have something like this, perfect for family and biking duties!

The last 69 Boss 429
Look at it! 
Officially rated at 375bhp, but probably over 600bhp at 9000rpm pushing them to 175mph
I've changed my mind.
If you can't get me a new one, a fully restored one of these.

My 99 to look something like this.
I'll have a Kenmeri Skyline thanks 🙂

I like these old Peugeot 505s
The 504 cabriolet is lovely too, Pinafarina designed:
I also really like the Alfa 156 GTA Sportwagon:
None of these would be ridiculously expensive to buy, £10k or less
Of those shown above, the OP’s choice or the Berlingo. Wouldn’t mind a Routemaster bus like in Summer Holiday/ The Young Ones, if someone else was doing the driving.
