That could have been it too actually. But that's still worth many millions! I spotted it in Leamington Spa right outside the Ford dealership to the south of the town.

Sure thing 4-5 millions worth of your pounds and equally as rare.

I find them a infinity pretty car.

I saw one in Rickmansworth a while ago and too thought it might have been a GTO.

I saw one a couple of weeks ago about 20 miles from Leamington Spa near Toddington in the Cotswolds. Couldn't get a pic though. It was a 250 GT California like this

This was nice, M42 southeast at 9am this morning

Nothing amazing but a few things caught my eye yesterday:

On the A46 west of Newark:

Ferrari 458 in yellow. For me, yellow doesn't work on many cars, 458 included.

Porsche Boxster Spyder in white.

In Newark, a blue Mk1 Honda Insight.

A1 Southbound, north of Newark - A lovely Bentley Continental R in dark green.

I saw that yellow 458- not for the first time. Rather like it.
And this M4 BMW........how about this for a colour?

And yes, he IS disabled - blue badge displayed.

[Fun Bus]

Why wouldn't the owner be disabled? Aren't the disabled allowed nice cars?

Still, badly parked though.

I don't mind that, it's mainly just flat yellows I don't like. Dakar on an E36 M3 has just grown enough on me to think it works well in a classic/nostaligic kind of way. Sadly flat yellow often appears on a few models of car I have a particular interest in!

Twice now I've spotted a pearlescent white (with pink shades at particular angles) Jaguar XJS parked at Sainsburys in Wollaton. It's a very interesting sight and I'll be sure to grab a picture next time.

After trawling the internet I discovered that while out for a run over the weekend I followed this up Fish Hill near Broadway, no photos at the time cos I was driving but it looked and sounded gorgeous. Then it should at £350,000 individually designed and built Ian Callum Jag Mk11 special.

Spotted this lovely 500 in Telford this afternoon:

IIrc metallic austin yellow - reminds me of Phonenix Yellow
Saw this M3 in Yas Marina Blue with a nicer Pan roof rather than badboy carbon of the M4

Looks like carbon to me.
The only roof option is a boggo sunroof which deletes the carbon, not a panoramic roof.

Was behind a Porsche Macan Turbo that I assumed was owned by a Sam on Mapperley Plains in Nottingham.

Looked glossy rather than the dull of carbon - but it seems, as you say , there is no pan roof option.

Ferrari FF on the M5 this morning and a Merc SLR-Y5 *** on the M6 a bit later on.
Heard the Merc before I saw it-Awesome!

Passed a lovely TVR Tuscan S around Holt Fleet (Worcestershire) this afternoon. I was in the Westfield. It was barrelling along at a fair old lick as well (made me miss my Tuscan a little).

Pulled up at the Shell garage in Lincoln to put some petrol in the Mazda and there was a gorgeous Ferarri 458 next to me. I was so blown away by it that I forgot to compliment the owner on his car.

McLaren P1 at Markeaton roundabout, Derby earlier this afternoon.
Yes, I have checked pic and vids against a 650S to make sure...
