Hi, lots of us are real petrolheads just like mebiggrin I'm always looking for something special like some cars where only a few are made off, and ofcorse the rare fast cars but under the max limit of 1000 cars! also specs may be included and ofcorse if you have the buildnumbersbiggrin
here some example the Bertone Dodge Zeder from 1953 only one 1 is made;

And ofcorse my carbiggrin European left hand drive S54 engine: 281 built from 02/2001 through 05/2002 so only 281 LHD where made from the S54 Z3 M coupe...its now my ex since I now have a even rarer car only one ever made the Hartge Z3 (Z47) coupe 5.0 V8 6-speed



My beloved Hartge (real one so also chassisnumber Hartge)




But also the TVR V8S I've had, specialy in LHD(mine) they only made 54 I believe;

Aston Martin DB2/4 by Bertone 1954 only 8 cars, two became drophead coupes, one or two were fixed-head coupes and four (or five were spiders the story says...

Alfa Romeo Bat Cars by Bertone, don't know how much are made? a few...

Aston Martin DB4GT Bertone Jet (1961)only 1?

The last one(for nowbiggrin) the road! Dauer Porsche 962 only a few 6? very very nice;

there are lots of nice rare(les then 1000) cars bring them on.

ad to say the Dauer roadcar was much faster back in 1994 then a Ultima is todaybiggrin great stuf;

The Alfa Romeo Sport Zagato - only around 1000 made, but there was only ever one made in black and that belongs to Mr Z himself...

So rare I can't even find a picture of the black one!

The Alfa RZ. Hard to get an exact number built, but around 280.



It's also one of the few cars whose name starts with A and ends with Z...

1930 MG Tigress? Five made, I think three survive. Two were owned by a a very sadly departed friend who said the leaping panther on the front was copied by Jaguar and put on their cars as the leaping cat. (you can just see it in the far right of the pic)

Porsche Produced a Turbo version of the 968 called Turbo S. Only 15 were produced in total, and the car was only sold in Europe. It did 0-60 MPH on 4.7s and a top speed near to 180!
A race variant called 968 Turbo RS was added as well; only 4 were produced.





I would love to get my hands on one of these, but me thinks they would be waaaay too expensive. Suppose you could by a 944T engine, do a bit of work (OK a lot of work) and modify a std 968??

Must have edited this 5 times to get the 3rd pic to show rage

Some of these special editions of very common cars don't count. You may as well start adding up fiesta dash numbers released

lambo GTR-C is a good one for the diablo's and then you have the sublime GTR-SV yum all the race mods of the GTR-C but with the styling and a few more "only for looks" bits from the SV.

who would want more?

not sure of the numbers but both well within the 1000 car mark, without a doubt!
