Spanish Road Trip Classic

[Jaguar99]

We go to Spain quite often and I have always been keen to drive but my wife is not interested and won’t travel abroad alone so every time we go we fly and hire a car

Next year the in-laws will be joining us and my wife is happy to travel with them while I drive

This leads me to the decision of what to drive… I could just take my daily driver but I am thinking that I could get something more interesting for the trip. So, I am toying with the idea of some sort of classic/modern class that I can buy, make the trip and then sell again afterwards

Whatever I take must have room for four people’s luggage and have four doors so the in-laws can get in and out of it when we are in Spain

Budget isn’t really a problem as I plan to sell again afterwards but four doors, luggage capacity and reliability are a must. Any suggestions or ideas which motor might fit the bill?

Manual VXR8 enjoy some V8 loveliness whilst having something that can cruise when your 4 up:

You might just find that you don't sell it

How about a Quattroporte 4.7 GTS? Stunning sounding Ferrari V8, I used to have a 4.2 Granturismo, very reliable, and did a trip to spa in it.

Or the 6.3 V8 from the C63

Defo some interesting options there - not sure were high on the reliability scale with some of those though
