You can get quite a holiday for £9k.
I suppose taking a kid puts up the cost and limits your options.

yeah, but. If you want a bespoke safari. Including two beach side luxury hotels and several days in the bush, plus the 8 flights needed to get about
then it'll cost more.
I can think of nothing worse than being locked in an all inclusive super hotel for two weeks.

8.5 to 60 is on the quicker side of things for a car.
Dolomite Sprint wasn't a sports car. It was a 4 door saloon. So the resonable comparison is to a warm hatch of today. And that's where it is.
