The rare 1 and between 1000 ever made car thread A to Z
Discussion
Two of the prettiest and rarest cars ever made:
Alfa 33 Stradale - only 18 of these EDIT: Doh, beaten to it!
Jaguar XJ13 - Just the one!
A less elegant but just as desirable for me RUF CTR "Yellowbird" - only 29 ground up builds, all the rest were conversions
A few more of these but still uber rare, the F288 GTO - 272 cars
Something a little closer to home, my brothers S1 S135 Elise (only 50 from the original run, a second run of 25 was done, but they were slightly different and carried the S135'99 sticker)

thought my car deserves a mention here- by no means desirable as all the other exotic cars in this thread (no point posting a picture, as its no looker!)
Rover 420 turbo- aparently only 500 were made with the turbo engine. probably only half of those are still on the road

Post a picture, also no lookers are welcome, and there are always people who like those, that's why they get sold at the time they came out.Rover 420 turbo- aparently only 500 were made with the turbo engine. probably only half of those are still on the road

Was a good idea for a thread. - I'd never even seen half of the cars here- and i thought i was quite a petrolhead!This thread is also very handy when your looking for something special in futere car shopping, that's why I started it sadly most are a bit expensive

Heres some pics of my mundane car:
loads of these made, but only 500 with the turbo engine. As far as i'm aware, it wasnt a limited run, it was just everyone wanted the 220 turbo coupe! no-one wanted a fast rover saloon. Except for me, year later! Cheapest, rarest, practical 2nd hand fast car money can buy :-)

That doesnt look right. 308/328 Conversion? Looks too short and doesnt have the rear slats.Anyone else agree?

Indeed tis picture does not look like a real 288GTO maybe its a kit-kar?Prince Rupert said:
Cheers for that GTRene! It looks even better then I remembered. IIRC top trump card said £200+mph and 0-60 in 3.2sec. Front reminds me of a body building corvette and a bit of Knight Rider KITT. Would look amazing coming up behind in the rear view mirror! I really really want one, almost as much as I want the black Panther Six!
