What we’d blow the budget on this month

Aston Workshop
Aston Martin DBS Vantage
If you like the pure DBS shape, a recent bare-metal rebuild, including enlarging the straight-six to 4.2 litres, and copious interior upgrades, make this a rather special example.
£POA, www.aston.co.uk

Malcolm Ricketts
Shapecraft Lotus Elan GTS
One of a handful of Elan coupés built by Surbiton Motors in 1963, this has been upgraded to 26R spec and raced with some success. And it’s road-legal, too.
£125k, [email protected]

Melvyn Rutter
1953 Flat-rad Morgan Plus 4
Four-seater Morgans can look ungainly but this one has better visual balance. Plus 4 engine will help to haul a full car load, while the uncowled radiator makes it stand out.
£28,750, www.morgan-motors-cars.com

Deputy editor

Bravely ignoring his degree in industrial design after discovering night rallies in a Renault 8, GC joined Motor Sport by accident, in the Teesdale days around 1982 when Jenks and WB were office regulars and Mr Tee ruled with a rod of cardboard. He took part in some of the early historic rallies, winning one of the Pirelli Marathons, and regularly runs his Mk2 Jaguar in road events.
