Sourcing cars from ebay, auto trader, classifieds etc, what fantasy car collection could you build for £56000. That's 1/100th of the £5600000 Chris Evans spent on his Ferrari 250 California.
Extra points for exclusivity, idiocyncracy and potential for appreciation.
Over to you.

Saab 99 Turbo, Mini Cooper, BMW E30 3 Series, MX-5, original Range Rover, Defender 90, mid-90s Jag XK.
Probably enough for insurance and fair bit of fuel from £56k and I think they cover almost any base you'd ever need.
Not that I wouldn't have the California if I had the spare change!
oneoneone... Good choice, I'd slip a Lancia in if the budget allows, and one of those kit car Stratos' that were on Top Gear a few years back.
pre '74 911.
An Alfasud, a tweaked 3L crappee, and a fiat x19 with a 2L TC conversion.... 8) funfunfun!!!
This.

Actually probbers a Khamsin but I'd need the change to run it.
Very graceful and pretty IMO:

As with all fantasies there are no penalties for running costs, insurance or impractical or unreliable choices.
So £8k Citroen SMs are in.
I've just found out how much a proper homologation edition quattro SWB costs. 😯

Might change the colour and get some d1 wheels on it though...
£250K?
Lamborghini Miura/Countach/ Diablo/ Murcielago/ Aventador. All or either..... 🙂

£150k. Ouch. Nasty colour, but that to me is a real classic car.
£250k gets you a proper S1.
bmw 2002ti for rwd sliding, a hyabusa engined mini for go kart fwd fun, and an audi a8 with nitros for pretending im in ronin
Lambo for £56K? No Muira anyway!
The Citroen SM, now that was a car - top car in French Car Top Trumps. I remember getting excited on seeing them on a three week tour of France when I was 9. The way they came up on their hydraulic was fantastic - I would try and come up with a simile - but I will never better the one I heard from the owner of a v12 Jaguar
starting the engine sounds like 1,000 sewing machines having a simultaneous orgasm
1 Old shape BMW 750iL
2 Can't remember its name, but ran 2 Kwak motors/gearboxes which could rev independently
3 Range Rover, new shape
4 309GTI (had one years ago)
5 Caymen S
That Mk2 RS2000 linked to in the e-bay ad belongs to the guy with [url= http://www.rsownersclub.co.uk/rsocbb/showthread.php?t=201436 ]this collection[/url]

Harry, is the Lagonda actually for sale? Got to be able to fit a 29er wheels on in the back of that. If only u had a garage long enough.
For me, it'd have to be £20k for a decent TVR Griffith for when the sun is shining and £30k for a mint Porsche 993 Careera for when it isn't, or when I want to Cary a bike on the roof.
I'd keep the Prius for family duties.
Mine would be something like.....
1) BMW M30 M3 in black
2) Escort Cosworth in imperial blue
3) Escort mk2 RS2000 in black
4) Merc 190 Cosworth in black
5) Golf mk2 GTi 16v in oak green

Fire up the Quattro!

the car I learned to drive in. I'd spend the rest on breakdown insurance, sill welding and an auto electrician.

This limo^ but I'd have it sprayed gold, so £1.5k purchase price plus say £3k on spray and pimp stuff.
An Elise S1 budget £10k for a mint one.
Ford Capri, £500 for a tatty one, I'd buy some decent tyres and tune the engine up then give a chav a few cans of Stella to bash the body work up a bit, I'd enjoy telling people 'it's done mate' when they ask 'project mate? What colours it going to be?' I'd also start smoking just so I can stub tab ends out of the window onto the body work.
A small van to carry bikes in, possibly have it sign written with a company that doesn't exist.
That's all I need, I'd just waste the rest on a sensible saloon.
Freeagent +1
You could build a 600 horsepower Ultima GTR? Or a new Lotus S Exige with the new 350 hp V6? You'd have 10-15k to spend on goodies as well.

If I couldn't get a good one I would have a Citroen DS instead for my practical classic - seems to be £20 000 for a nice one now.
Caterham for lunacy £15 000
Renault aventine for a practical and stylish car £5000
And the rest on a long wheelbase series landrover in safari trim.
