In cheltenham yesterday afternoon...Lancia Fulvia I think...pretty rare though I presume as its an old Lancia and it still works....;)



And this was across the road from it....Also saw a 458 spider but couldn't get the camera out quick enough...

Mine is a ltd edition 7.0 litre to celebrate 20 years of HSV. ~130 made at $150,000 a pop.

The other is a new VF HSV GTS. 6.2 litres. About $90,000.

spotted this today, but have seen it previousy, couldnt get a great pic because of the other cars

Second time I've spotted an F-type in Swansea down the marina. First was the V6S press car (the dark red one). This might be a press car too? VX plate. Not sure. Had a good look around. Looked stunning.

Dear god that looks ugly

Saw the F type today aswell. I think the guy who drives it works for JLR, there was a burnt orange F type down there a couple of months ago, and a bit before that, a new Range Rover, but with no Range Rover badges, Photo was taken 25th August so good while before it was launched. And probably a couple of years go there was a then unlaunched XJ, but unfortunately no photos, Im waiting for him to show up in the turbine/hybrid thing (its name eludes me)

Sorry, (really sorry) no pics but...

There was a black 599 TT in Stratford - Upon today, which was nice.

And almost matching it for presence there was an Orkney Grey Twisted Defender 110.

[Spanglepants]

Saw this in Olney, unless i read it wrong it was up for £445,000

[Davey S2]

Rare 4 door. May actually be a one off IIRC.

Great spot.

C-X75. That'll be a long wait.
afaik they never even built a single prototype with turbines, so they downgraded to a conventional piston engined hybrid but even that has been discontinued. Probably because it was never going to work.
I think the bit about it going to 10000 rpm and being *very* boosted probably didn't help.
They said it would make 500hp from a 1.6, 500hp from the 1.6 ICE alone, not including the electric motors.

Another one from the top secret Jaguar pipe-dream division.
The least they could have done was turn out a super car that was a massive downgrade from the original claims but still one of the best cars ever made
