yeah, The Lotus Europa looks better then the Apal coupe gt...
Though I think that Apal is even more rare...wonder why
though must say Apal also made some nice models at the time!

My old AC Schnitzer S3 CS - only three right hand drive examples ever built!
Ah so you were the lucky owner of that very very fine motorcar !
I remember reading about that in BMWCar magazine. Extremely rare and a wolf in sheep's clothing if ever i've seen one. M3John.
Ha yes - boy do I miss that car! I had an M3 GT before that (1 of only 50 made) but the Schnitzer smoked that, and almost everything else I ever came up against (apart from a 996 turbo which made me think I had left the handbrake on!!).
Now residing in the Scottish Highlands which is a much better place for a car than central London!

Ooooh, I like that AC Schnitzer 
As for 996 Turbos making things look slow, I can verify that. The way those things can accelerate off a damp roundabout almost defies beleif!

yeah I like that AC car too
more pictures? I never saw a real one of this sadly but I have a picture of it from EVO magazine I believe where they compared some cars, the E30 M3 still the best though but interesting that the AC also have those wide wheelarches...

A few Porsches -
1988 924 S Le Mans - 980 produced
1979 924 Martini - not many . . .-
1990s 911-964 Speedster - around 500 -
1988 944 Turbo SE 'Silver Rose' - 1000 -
There may be more on the way.
This is a great thread - and what has surprised me is how many very rare 'mundane' cars there are, for example the Alfa Q4 wotsit, and the Rover 75 V8. Shows that cars do not have to be exotic to be rare!

Good choice that BB Ferrari, I saw a review around this car on Dicovery I believe and that man who owns such car did already 2 belt changes?? anyway the engine have to come out and its a very expensive job so they say and this sort Ferrari is one of the most expensive for that job with his big boxer engine, nice
A lot of "older" Ferrari's did not make the 1000 cars and I did not mention them to left some space for others too
There's a lot "forgotten" cars out there some only one built and when I sometimes look at websites looking for someting else I come acros such car and dump it in this thread, so when I'm "rich" anough to go shopping I go through this long thread to find a nice car to buy

Indeed good find Dink, always loved that Caterham 21 I saw a green one at the Amsterdam autorai when it came out and ofcorse the all aluminium option one in the magazines, never understood why they stopped making it..I believed it had great potentional
they say this about it; --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Originally intended as a low-production run car of no more than 200 a year, only just under 50 were ever made and production has now ceased.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You could also get this car to build it yourself in the vorm of a kit, so maybe thats why some sources talk about 68 cars?
Anyway rare they are, even more rare is the mighty Caterham 21 GTO wich race in Belgium but can't find a nice picture, there's only one orange excample that does not do the car justice, I have a carmagazine with a aluminium GTO very nice!
here the Aluminum "normal" Caterham 21 version;
