I'm talking daily driver here. A 9000rpm manual car is less suited to that :D

Besides, you'd want the GT3 4.0 ;)

With all these car comps, unless it was something practical and relatively cheap I'd take the cash. Buuuuuttttt, a GT3 would be the one I'd keep for a while at least.....

1987 Alfa Romeo Spider Graduate Classic Italian Sportscar



We've gone all Italian this week as we introduce this beautiful 1987 Alfa Romeo Spider.. Italian automotive design at its finest and what a win for someone to enjoy and own this charming car.



Timeless in its styling with its sleek lines and round headlights this instantly recognisable shape makes the Alfa Spider a real symbol of Italian motoring. Finished in rare ivory cream gloss paint with a recent new roof and retrimmed brown and black seats having been imported from Italy with just 58k miles on the clock. Under the bonnet is a 2.0 liter 4 cylinder twin cam Alfa engine hooked up to a 5 speed manual gearbox producing a lovely raspy engine note.



A proper usable classic car that'll turn heads everywhere you go and with the roof down it's a great way to arrive at any destination.

This was up for grabs before, so I guess the previous winner took the £200k instead?

Milk Float, albeit a fast one! :D

Win This Tesla Model 3 Performance + £1,000 Tax Free Cash!
ENTRIES ONLY £12.49
2022 Tesla Model 3 Performance AWD
Electric Power – Automatic
6k Miles (Battery Warranty of 120,000 Miles)
Optional Extras Include | Full Self-Driving Capability | 20″ Turbine Wheels & MORE!
This Tesla has been owned by Click Competitions since new, the lowest mileage, biggest spec Model 3 Performance you can buy and you have the chance to win for a low cost of entry.
Whilst we are huge petrol heads here at Click Competitions the performance figures cannot be scoffed at. A 3.4 second 0-60 is the same as a McLaren 720s, an electric performance car certainly is an experience as you have full torque immediately, the second you plant your right foot! We have also bundled in £1,000 to go towards costs such as installing a home charging point which would see you fully charge the car for around £3 per day!

Modifications:
Maxton Design Front Splitter
Maxton Design Side Skirts
Maxton Design Rear Diffuser
H&R Lowering Springs
Wheel Spacers
Black Tesla Badges
Black Dash Trim
Tinted Windows
CASH ALTERNATIVE AVAILABLE TO THE WINNER

Love the look of these Superfasts! 8-)

Ferrari 812 Superfast
The Ferrari 812 Superfast was released as the replacement to the legendary F12 Berlinetta, which at the time was the fastest & most powerful car to ever emerge from Maranello.
With the ridiculous 6.5L screaming V12 producing just under 790bhp & going from 0-60mph in only 2.9 seconds, the 812 Superfast is a worthy descendant.
On top of the ground breaking performance, the 812 Superfast is also loaded with usual carbon fibre & premium leather / alcantara you expect from a modern day Ferrari - making the entire driving experience a true pleasure.
We're giving you the chance to own this beautiful Ferrari 812 Superfast for as little as 85p! You do not want to miss this!

Love these, but looking at the mot history, I wonder where its been for the last 7 years and 20k miles? :think: I suppose for £3.97 it doesn't really matter...

A friend and I used to bomb around in a 1600cc version of one of these, those were the years! Such a hoot, albeit this was in Africa!!
