A practical supercar is what Gavin needs for everyday life, track days and the occasional jaunt through Europe on business. One model fits the bill. A Nissan Skyline is a legendary performance car that is happy popping to the supermarket as well as tearing around a track. Easy to drive, has a decent boot and rear seats that are fine for children. The Skyline is badged as the Nissan GT-R in the UK, and there’s a revised model for 2017 out now. Prices start at £80,995. I also found the quite similar 2016 model at a dealer with 3,000 miles at just £69,995.
A car for the heart
Gavin would really love a Ferrari. In that case he will have to start saving up. Trouble is the majority of Ferraris are focused performance cars and that means there are just two seats. The exception in the current range is the Ferrari FF. Not only has it got rear seats, it has four wheel drive, so it is the nearest thing in that class to an off-roader, without being ugly, overweight and dull to drive. Gavin is going to need at £130,000 to go down the Ferrari route. One main dealer has a 2011 25,000-mile example at that price.
