Which rare/exclusive cars have you seen on the road?

There was a photo in the paper the other day of a XJ220 dumped in Dubai due to the recession.

As a bus driver I spend around 9-10 hours a day on the road at least 5 days a week. Driving around south Hampshire I have spotted in the last couple of months:

An Alfa Romeo Montreal

Numerous Maserati quattroportes

An ancient Trabant

Austin Allegro!!!

Lambo Countach

Ferrari Enzo

Quite an ecletic collection, but could live without the Trabant and Allegros' though!

I should flipping well hope you see loads in London!!!!
I also saw a Porsche 959 once and I've seen the quatroporte and the coupe masarati. But then again they are the same money as BMWs.
My fave is still the scudaria cause it sounded damn sexy!!!!!

This just goes to show how rare some rare cars actually are lol!!
But I've not seen an Enzo yet. These are all the cars I have seen on the roads through my lifetime.
Still have to agree the XJ220 is the rarest.

I also saw the Arial Atom being developed. Wasn't on the road, more in pieces in shed of the designer lol.

And I remembered someone in my nearest town used to own this which could be the rarest car I have ever seen?
Can't remember if it the windscreen or not? But I've only ever seen that one on the roads, think he must of sold it the next year as it wasn't around then.

Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM AMG Cabriolet at the Ring.  Don't know how hard he pushed it, as it was chucking it down!  Only 80 sold in Europe.  Also saw an R8 there for the first time, before it was out here.  It was being used to give pax laps to Audi corporate clients.

FZR400RRSP

I merely have to look across the road to see two of them, owned by the same bloke.
Damned ugly motors, why he has two I've no idea...


Oh, a yank down the street has an old Dodge Charger.
You don't see many of them in the UK.
No, it's not painted like the General Lee....

My post from 2 years ago

I did take a picture at the time, but no idea on what device now . Probably buried on a phone in my "old phones" drawer.

Ive been up close and personal with Tommy Hilfiger's vintage Ferrari Testarossa when it was in my mates spray booth a few years ago. At the time it was worth £3,000,000 probably worth more like £7-8mil now.
