A mate of mine was given a year old Vantage convertible (LN400 limited edition) by his extremely wealthy brother in law
I want a brother in law like that.

Yes to keep. His brother in law also insured it for him for the first twelve months.
His brother in law is seriously loaded. Runs a hedge fund. Has a garage full of about 8 high performance cars.

He is getting rid of his Lamborghini Gallardo as he lives in southeren Spain and has to get it to Madrid each time it needs a service. He's replacing it with a Ferrari, the flash fucker.

Still - people that well-off are rarely that generous.
that's why they are that well off in the first place. Fair play.

I think people who have inherited a lot of money tend to be tight with it. Those who made it themselves (as in this case) tend to be more generous.

I've based this opinion solely on what I have witnessed.

Could be.
I dunno, one of my PhD students moved into the city when she graduated and I nearly slapped her when she was complaining that she couldn't decide whether to spend her first bonus on a 911 or pay off a lump of the mortgage on her docklands flat. Cow. She's never bought me a car.
