So... what car do you guys drive when not flying?

Saw this up for sale at Classic Throttle Shop in North Sydney. A good daily driver at that price! How many of these do you have hidden in sheds or shipping containers again, @Cossie ?

Cheers,

I have been looking for sometime for something different to drive and most modern cars are an absolute pain to work on.
This is not it but it got me thinking and I found this.

If engine produces anything close to those numbers make it a decent car to drive and rear wheel drive to boot. Plus with a decent following overseas parts would be attainable maybe not cheap but not Italian prices either.
Theres an older guy in my warehouse complex that has an 8 year old C63 coupe and last year I mentioned I thought of buying one for my partner. I could tell by his face and when he mentioned what he paid for his he thought I was dreaming. I will have to find out from Cossie if one of these will match his C63 in performance.

It depends on what model it really is. There was a guy selling an RS500 in Canberra a few years ago, but it wasn't one of the 500, it was an ordinary Sierra Cosworth with bits added.
Ford had to make 500 special models to get them homologated for motorsport. Genuine road cars would be rare now. Rebirthing of these cars has also been a problem, so it can be difficult to know if it is a real one or not.
There are still new shells out there, so you could do a new build if you wanted to......
