You have to spend it, not invest it.
You can't add any other money to it so your purchase(s) need(s) to be £18,000 or under.
I'd use it to buy a car i've wanted for many years now: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201212154633421/sort/default/usedcars/model/quattroporte/make/maserati/onesearchad/used/onesearchad/nearlynew/onesearchad/new/radius/1500/quicksearch/true/page/1/postcode/ab392sr?logcode=p
Then the rest on insurance and fuel.
How would you spend it?

Hmmm. Not enough to cover the house deposit we need to need to exclude that.
I really don't know. I'm looking to get one of the newer facelift Cayman S's when they get cheaper - but I'm not bored of the Impreza yet so it's tempting to say I'd spunk it all on modifications

Difficult one, I can't justify £18k on a car and as I am not allowed to put towards it I'm a bit stuck!

Get a load of them proper sex dolls and take them out shopping.
Get the garage floor like a chessboard and fit a factory seconds kitchen with a mini fridge in there. So I could feel like I am in the actual kitchen when working underneath the car.
Buy a load of quad copter drones and get video of me flying them away and not coming back. Probably crash them into things and spend the nights wondering if anyone is going to find out it was me.
Rolex for each arm and leg. Which I would wear everyday.
I'd like to hire a tank or even buy one. Then ruin all the local roads so they had to repair them sooner. In the meantime I would sell the tank to fund a road legal monster truck so I could drive over the destroyed roads like a hero while the peasants cried about it.
Or use it for a house deposit and sit about watching tv and having an opinion on the state of our country.

If using it as a house deposit doesn't count as investing, I'd do that.
Otherwise, a car for circa £10k, some biking bits and then tech which I want (tablet, laptop, new TV).

buy a vx220 turbo, lower it on decent coilovers, pro race 1.2 alloys and the rest on engine work then enjoy it

I'd prob only spend less than 5 grand between a holiday and car and put the rest towards a house.

Flat deposit, because I don't fancy paying £10k rent a year
Or, book the remaining 20 days holiday I have off in one slot and do East / West coast USA again

Wait a few months until the Spanish property market hits rock bottom and put it towards an apartment near Marbella.

I'm pretty sure these rules rule out mortgages, deposits etc.
