Jesus H Christ with a pint of Youngs Ordinary!!
All I can say is, I'm glad this thread is pure fantasy, otherwise Le Mans would end up looking like a cross between Omaha beach and something organised by Billy Butlin on mescalin. The ACO would never recover, and the Germans would end up limpet mining The Tunnel.
A bulls eye from Chop456 and a double top from the Northumbrian man in the scrubs. Given Steves original post, then I'd say a vehicle with at least a whiff of some sort of Le Mans history is a must, - you're driving to a motor race for Gods sake, not to liberate Paris.
If Chop couldn't fit me in, dead or alive, then it'd be a lightweight E for me, although the budget would mean a replica, and as for fitting in two mates I suppose I'd have to shoot them and dump them in a lay-by on the A20.
Modern cars, as we all know, are crap, but if push came to shove....errr, oooh, I dunno...one of those 4 door Lotus thingies. With a roof rack. Maybe.
Please, no Messcherschmitt bubble cars.

If I had all the money I've ever spent on drink, I think on balance, I'd probably spend it on drink.

Lotus Carlton


And either a RS6 or a quick 5 series

I did see a lovely Healey 3000 recently that I could imagine driving down in. but that doesn't fit the criteria

We obviously have similar taste - I had an RS6 and will be driving to Le Mans in my Healey 3000!

For the criteria of this thread the RS6 is the perfect car
