If money was no object what would be your dream car? For euro millions lottery winner Nigel Page that dream is about to come true. Page says he’ll spend part of his £56 million winnings on a new 4×4, possibly a Range Rover or a BMW X6, Kahn Design’s showroom could certainly help Page’s wish list come true.
According to latest research by the Camelot Group a new BMW is the second most popular purchase for lottery winners, with a Range Rover coming in at number six. The most popular brand that millionaires head for is Mercedes-Benz with the C-Class topping the choice table for lottery winners.
- Mercedes Benz
- BMW
- Mini
- Vauxhall
- Land Rover
- Range Rover
- Ford
- Porsche
- Audi
- Jaguar
A new car is one of the first things that a lottery millionaire buys, with 36% of jackpot winners heading to a car showroom before buying a new house or even splashing some cash on the high street.
Few stop at just one set of wheels though, as the average numbers of cars bought by lottery winners is over six. Take Tom Naylor as an example, the lorry driver from the West Midlands, at the time of his win he won £15,528,286 on Lotto Extra in 2001. He said he wanted a car for every day of the week and that’s just what he did. He bought a Rolls-Royce Phantom, three Jaguars – an XJ, XK and XJ220 – an Aston Martin DB9, a Land Rover Discovery and a Hummer.
In fact, 13% of jackpot winners have bought at least 10 cars since their win, while the average number of cars bought per winning household is 5.17.
Some winners are clearly on the Kahn Designs train of thought and enjoy living in the fast lane choosing from a shopping list of supercars comprising of the likes of Aston Martin, Bentley, De Lorian, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche and Rolls Royce.
At Kahn Design we’re currently busy working on the our new online shop, which once ready will allow you to compile your own ‘wish list’, meaning when that day comes and you scoop the jackpot you too can be the proud owner ‘5.17’cars….
