Supercars spotted, some rarities (vol 6)

[Buster73]

722 SLR Cabriolet, never seen one before cannot imagine there's many about.

[100 IAN]

By the looks of it rarer than a Veyron which must be 2-a-penny...............or are those Veyron's half size hence you get 2 for the price of 1?

Saw one of these outside a hotel in Mayfair last week. Lovely thing.

Lovely sounding perhaps but certainly not lovely looking IMO

I wonder how many of them ended up in the ME.

ETA - cursory google shows 20% of them are in Dubai alone.

So add AD, Bahrain and a few other locations and I bet its close to half of them accounted for in the ME alone.

Hi,

Headed to Leicester to see a client today, not been to the city for a few years so made sure I was there nice and early so I could have a nosey in a couple of garages.

Popped into Bentley Leicester which happens to also have a Lamborghini franchise. There was a lovely Matt Yellow Huracan outside this is a really nice colour and looked just as nice on the Aventador they had in the showroom.



In the main showroom there was a couple of Bentayga's for me to have a nosey round. I really like these





Then a quick trip round town to the Porsche showroom. I was hoping to see a GT3 RS as I have not seen one in the flesh, I was not disappointed.



Are they really fetching this price ?



Managed to look at a Cayman GT4 as well. Well two actually as they had a dark blue one as well (in front of the white one)



Also this tucked away but not for sale





Then walking back to my car this was driven out of the workshop (at Porsche). Stunning





Hope you like the pics.

Regards

Tim

Thanks for that Tim.

How welcoming were Bentley and Porsche? I'm regularly dropping in to Graypaul who are great - are they as happy for enthusiasts like us to look round?

Hi,

Pretty good, always get a receptionist asking if you need any help but I just explained I was killing time before an appointment and was just being nosey.

Regards

That Murcie roadster has been well used given the impracticality of the roof - 20k miles on the clock at the last mot.

Not for sale.
I believe it to be a customers car needing somewhere to reside for a while.

Spotted this a couple of weeks ago when getting some fuel. Can't recall seeing another - it's a Renaultsport Mégane Red Bull Racing RB8, and just 30 came to the UK.

Some spots from the last couple of weeks. All in Berkhamsted

Couple of bits and pieces - 488 is a bit of a cheat as it was outside HR Owen.
