Hi there,

Firstly that is an awesome spot. Love Zagato designs and this latest one is gorgeous.

Secondly, stumbled across this parked on the High Street in Knutsford this evening. Was certainly getting plenty of attention: -





and a very nice McLaren MP4 12C Spider in probably the nicest colour yet (anyone know what its called?)





Regards

Tim

Mmmm BAC Mono on my wish list but hearing not good reviews on the company/reliability.

I'm jealous of this spot! 6th UK registered car that I know of, although some have perhaps gone abroad

Good spot
Aston have real struggled to sell these so there are only ~30 in the wild
That has got to be one of the first customer spec ones

I was informed that there would only be 49 made at most - 'for added exclusivity' This is at least the 11th one out there, excluding the press cars and race cars.

It his the fence behind it?

I don't care how common (relatively) these are, GT3s always stir my car guy soul!

^ Thanks for clearing it up, getting late (just my lame excuse for not recognizing one of my dream cars properly )

Then you know nothing about cars. They're good spots, much more interesting than the generic super car.

500 FRPs made..

500 S2 rallyes sold in the UK

What do you class as rare?

Personally, less than 100. Let's not bicker, eh? All opinions are valid & personal.

This thread would still be on volume one if that was the case.

i think it's more about the definition of 'supercar' than 'rare'. Supercar is a more objective term. However, it's been done to death in this thread.... I find it very enjoyable due to the things posted, and nearly all on topic so even as a bit of a subject-matter and definition Nazi, I don't mind so much.

OK, calm down. Then I obviously know nothing about cars because I didn't see a Ford Puma, or a Pug 106 as rare or super.
Personally I wouldn't give either of them a second glance. I simply see a Puma....which I never saw as anything special in any form, and a slow 106 with some stickers and white wheels. Personally...if that's ok with you...I see nothing more. As for the Bentley...see them too much already....but like you said I know nothing about cars apparently and I'm not entitled to an opinion which differs from yours....apparently.

What do I class as rare? A grown-up attitude on this forum by the looks of it.
