time and context...
At this moment, given current "circumstances"...
1. Any era, any amount of money or even "no amount of money"...
The UR car with the "scissor doors" aka "Lamborghini doors" and the wedge school which was epitomized later with the Lancia Stratos Zero - perfect bookends in any one collection. These two really should be reunited one day.
2. Current production -
Honestly, until the replacement for the Gallardo comes out, I can't think of any current production car that is more compelling than this one (just barely out of production at the moment - sorry, pplater, I know thems not the original "rules" but as I told someone back when this WAS current production, "It's the only current production car that I have a ...shall we say Viagra obsoleting ero-physiological response to?")
3. Once family member - this is a tough one; three are fraught with memories and sentimental significance.
If practicality and use were paramount (I REALLY REALLY want a track car...) then it would be this -
but wait...the rear end is significant...not just any R53 Mini S -
must still have that bumper sticker and badging! 
For pure sentimentality, it would be a toss up between
and
yep, I was in love and shared a home with a cover model once...
Cheers,
