ACCORDING to Jane Austen “It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of good fortune must be in want of a wife.”
But it could also be argued that anyone who is flush with good fortune could also be forgiven for wanting a supercar instead.
So, whether you’re having a particularly expensive mid-life crisis, have hit the lottery jackpot, or are just looking to buy your dream ride - here are some of Berkshires’ most magnificent luxury cars for sale currently.
1. McLaren Senna

The car is the third addition in the McLaren Ultimate Series, joining the F1 and the P1 models, and according to the advert boasts a mileage of 60 and a seven speaker audio system. This speedy coupe (with the always-impressive butterfly doors) contains a ferocious 3994cc engine size and comes in 'Paris Blue' with wheels finished in 'dark stealth',
It is claimed to be able to do 0-62mph in 2.8seconds and has a top speed of 211mph.

3. Aston Martin DB6
This Silver birch beauty has made its way down the country having had only four owners since it was first registered in Newcastle-upon-Tyne on January 11, 1966.
The gallant grand tourer sets itself apart from many supercars as a classic from the late 1960s heading into the early 70s.
Advertised with a colourful history, the classic appears to have had no-expense-spared repairs and replacements over the years with its full history details including the second owner taking its mileage to 63,000, before parting ways in 1972. It was then used regularly until it became laid-up in a heated garage in 1979 'due to demands of a busy veterinary practice.
Work over the next two years includes sills and jacking points replaced, rear axle overhauled, a fresh clutch fitted, and complete reupholstered seats plus much more.
It now comes in Silver Birch with contrasting Ox Blood Hide.
It has a 3995cc engine size and will do 0 to 60mph in 8.4seconds, top speed 150mph.
Fancy stepping back into the 60s with this classic supercar, it will cost you £289,950 from Slade Garage.
4. Aston Martin Vantage
This supercar is an Formula One lovers dream.
Advertised as a rare chance is this 2017 collaboration between Aston Martin and Red Bull, which is just one of 15 made.
The coupe is as snazzy as it gets with its dark blue exterior, wrapped in a ‘satin ppf’, and finished with blue leather light weight sports seats with red details and yellow stitching.
The advert details its carbon fibre aero kit and light weight satin wheels which make it 598bhp, with a 5935cc engine.
It has 600 miles on the clock but most excitingly for F1 fans it is hand signed by Christin Horner, Max Verstappen, and Daniel Riccardo.
