Unloved supercars/ Forgotten supercars/ Rare cars

[John D.]

This has got to be the one of the best 'unloved supercars' ever. Built at the wrong time and having a slightly odd front end (which I quite like, mainly because its a bit different). Awesome car.
Definately be in my fantasy garage.

Because most people that i know, although appreciating the engineering, generally concider them to be rather fugley.

I did'nt used to be a fan of the Spyker either until I saw one in the metal. Some of the details are very cool, I like it.

And lets be honest, the R8 is a marmite car!

Great minds.....

More like "lazy google image users...."

Could also add the XJR 15? Nobody seems to remember it much or care for it. Beautiful none the less

Anyone remember the Spectre R45? Great looking car.

I'll have to get my pedant hat on again....

They never made the Spectre R45 - It was a show queen and a runner was never built.

However....

The Spectre R42 was made, how many exist god only knows as the company lurched from one financial crisis to another.

Cracking looking car though.





It's for sale too if anyone is interested

£24995.

I was going to post that, lovely looking thing

Here's a game for everyone, how many bits from the Ford parts bin can you see in the interior of the Spectre?

I count 11.

End of the day you could go bankrupt on a 30k fezza, its just a case of having in the garage and you can say you own one

See Mr Yu has bought a 456GT for £30k, already hurting his pocket from what I've heard, waiting for his journal report.


edit, new pages still in demo format and link will change back from test soon but, sneeky peak here http://test.auto-journals.com/journals/Ferrari?mod...

Christ that is in good nick and at a good price!

Most of these are loved,not unloved,
The aston virage seems a bit unloved at the moment,although not a supercar in my mind.

Agreed, I've always loved the look of these personally (and no, TG had no influence)!

I still want to know where exactly they bought a Merak for less than 10k?

That's what i thought, when MG Rover bought Qvale. Didn't know it was badged as a DeTomaso as well.
