Hong Kong, there be car-pawn here...

[iloveboost]

Epic thread I had no idea Hong Kong was full of so many great cars. It's like Monaco and Tokyo had a baby.

[Philplop]

I was recently in Tokyo for 5 days, Japan for 9, and other than a 964 and a 458 I saw absolutely nothing of any interest (apart from the funny little kei cars, which I have developed a bit of a not-so-guilty pleasure for).

You can barely move in Hong Kong without seeing some exotica.

Great pics in this thread. Enjoyed flicking through.

You were unlucky then - the cars aren't as concentrated as in Hong Kong (Tokyo is a much bigger place) but they are here. Last Saturday many were out and about in Omotesando: Koneigsegg CCX, 16M Spider, Veyron, 964 Speedster, Wraith, DB6, Murcielago not to mention 458s, Californias, Gallardos etc

I ts still great to visit Hong Kong though , and I'm another who really enjoys this thread....

You take some of the most mind-bending cars going in the supercars thread. I will be in Japan at least a couple of times this year. Finally a dream realised!

I have no reason to believe this isn't an original 2.7RS

I'll share this link with the owner and that is a genuine, low mileage, unrestored RS. He also has a variety of cars which I believe you may have photographed as well (Scuderia, 599 GTO, 599 etc..)

Nice one, mate!

Lovely pictures, that 964 turbo is fantastic. Also love the 12C's looks so understated compared to McLarens latest offerings.

[wongthecorrupter]

I have never seen a 4 door integra type r, some great cars over there

I'm sure this has been covered before, some trade plate thing? Not exactly the most elegant temporary fixing of a plate though!

Best Thread Ever

Stumbled onto this F12 there a few weeks ago.
No idea what you'd do with all that power in a city like that but I suppose if I had that sort of money I'd have one as well..

[rupertprocter]

Slick update, Ben! I haven't been quite prevalent as you know, but here are a few...

Speicale pressing on through downtown HK Island



Verde Ithaca SV being given the beans



Stealth Diablo GT with bare carbon panels



Liberty Walk GTR



GT3 showing its booty



Nicely specced Huayra



And although not in HK, this Malaysian Countach is just too Pistonheads to not share...

[Ben Molloy]

Hi Fellas,

It's been a while so i thought i'd share some more photos,

I hope it's not too many!

Cheers,

Ben

That's awesome. Your photos got to be a really high standard!

Great spots in lovely little HK!

[MajorMantra]

Great stuff. The 911 in Gulf colours is painfully pretty.

[rodericb]

What is interesting is that virtually all of the cars are right hand drive - even some stuff like the old M3 and Delta Integrale. China drives on the wrong side of the road. Singapore has some flash cars too but they have the ten year 'certificate of entitlement' thing - I wonder how many expensive cars get exported out of Singapore to Hong Kong when that COE runs out?

Stand to be corrected, but IIRC, Right Hand Drive only in HK. No exceptions. No Veyrons.

[McAndy]

AC/Zagato have sold one? I was under the impression that only the blue demonstrator existed. Good stuff.

Don't try driving on the right in Hong Kong.

What superb taste they have, some absolute dream machines there
