Here's a fun bit of arithmetic. RM Sotheby's returns to Zurich on 26 September with a Ferrari F40 topping the bill, estimated at 3.2 to 3.5 million Swiss francs. That's serious money for one car, but it's also, as it turns out, exactly enough to build an entire garage of dream machines from the same sale. And so, the arrival of a game for our host JP Rathgen: what else could that F40 money actually buy?

Breaking it down into three options, the first being you simply buy the ultimate poster and speed off into the sunset, turbos spooling and tyres screeching in your newly-acquired Ferrari F40, or, for the same money, three icons instead of one. A 1969 Lamborghini Miura P400S, the car that essentially invented the supercar, at 1.5 to 2 million francs. A 1965 Aston Martin DB5 Vantage at 950,000, and a 2016 Porsche 911R for a comparatively sensible 550,000 to 600,000. Add it up and you land at 3.55 million, practically the F40's high estimate, but now covering the birth of the supercar, the most famous Aston on earth, and one of the purest modern Porsches Stuttgart ever built.

Option two throws restraint out entirely, offering up a staggering array of eight cars that will ensure no commute will feel the same. Setting it off with a naturally aspirated 812 Competizione Aperta, joined by an AMG GT Black Series for track days, a 70th Anniversary 488 Spider, a Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 just like what Enzo Ferrari himself used as a daily driver, a Lamborghini Diablo, a 575M Maranello, a Fiat 131 Abarth Rally Stradale, and, can you believe it, a 1974 BMW 2002 Turbo in full Motorsport livery. The total? 3.59 million francs. Marginally over budget, but for that money you've covered rally homologation history, two open-top Ferraris, a Lamborghini, and Europe's first turbocharged production car.
