Here's $250,000. What would you buy at a ritzy Monterey car auction?

It's Monterey Car Week, so I figured this would be a perfect time to devote our weekly What Would You Buy? post to Monterey auctions. I figured sending a cool $250,000 in fake money to my fellow editors was generous, but then I looked at the likely prices for the cars at RM Sotheby's. Ha! Maybe if some of us pooled our money, we might be able to make that happen.

Anyway, there are several auctions this week, so surely there's some lot we could successfully win with $250,000 to play with. You know, if this was real. Of course, actual people are playing this game for real this week. Must be nice.

Here are the rules:

1. Must be a lot at an auction happening this week during Monterey Car Week.

2. It must be for one car.

3. You can have money left over.

4. If the likely price is listed, $250,000 must be within the range. If it is not, well, use your best judgment. You're not getting a DB5 or Gullwing.

BMW Z8 at Gooding & Company

Senior Editor James Riswick: I already own James Bond's BMW from "GoldenEye," so why not step it up big time with his roadster from "The World is Not Enough," the BMW Z8. Gooding & Company estimates this'll go for between $200,000 and $250,000, so hopefully I'm set from a budget perspective. This Z8 has only 6,800 miles on it, so it clearly wasn't a daily driver (Ha! I kid), and is the correct Titanium Silver exterior with black interior as driven by Pierce Brosnan in the movie. Besides its Bond connection, the Z8 was an instant classic. With unique styling inspired by the 507 roadster, the Z8 was BMW's big swing in the retro-crazed turn of the century. There was no BMW like it before and no replacement thereafter (unless you consider the i8), which is always good for skyrocketing a model's value. Strictly from a car perspective, this is a grand-touring roadster with a 4.9-liter V8 and six-speed manual transmission. Yes, please.
