Seen in Milton Keynes (just off Silbury Boulevard) on Friday 25th November in the afternoon.

Quite an unusual sight so thought it may be known on Pistonheads.

Not a criticism of your spotting, but rather than of the manufacturer: that looks so st i can barely put it into words. I've seen better looking transit vans.

I'd actually agree with you there. The FF does absolutely nothing for me at all - I've seen only seen one in in the flesh but was more taken by its bulk than anything else!

In the right colour scheme (not matte grey with black wheels!) I think they're wonderful.

You would need to be a raving looney to spend £500k on one. When even a mental F-Type or Project 7 is £130k-ish

It just looks especially the interior, a bit Rover 75 in styling

Lovely looking NSX wiped out at traffic lights & filmed by a guy test driving another car don't think there were any injuries thankfully.

After watching this I started looking in the classifieds for gen 2 NSX's. Then got side tracked by a genuine TypeR for sal in Hong Kong. Then started looking at how to import to the UK.

All because some tt ran a red light!

I suspect it might be the "ok to turn right on red if no car is there" that the US has - just in this case there was a car coming they appear not to have seen.

Except the BBC probably have very little say in who gets paid what as they don't produce it.

I'll take your word for it regarding the One Show, but he took £125,000 per episode of Top Gear. Not what I'd call money well spent.

BTW, great shots Penfolds.

Directly from the BBC??

I think this special Alfa has been spotted before on this thread in the 470+ previous pages, but just case it hasn't, here it is again.

[Iva Barchetta]

It has but don't think it's been shown with the lid on top....

Still like it despite the ludicrous price on top of cutting up an 8C.

That Alfa always reminds me of those aquacars. That look like boats with wheels hanging out the bottom.

Such an ugly thing.

1 of 7, according to Wiki, so not going to be cheap, whether you like the look or not and as I said

above, an 8C has been sacrificed to make this.

When TG drove it in one of the last few series, I thought that was an amazing looking thing. Looking at it there in that colour it just looks a bit.. well, st really.

The back looks odd and the colour looks odd too but didn't all the ones made come in different colours or am I imagining that?

JC drove a coupe, which is a thing of wonder. That one there is a spyder, and it's a proper minger. They look spiffy in red or green. All colours are painted onto a gold flake basecoat.

As to the price question earlier, build cost was rumoured to be around €1-1.5m, plus your 8c

I think all 7 cars built were unique and as such, so were the invoices. The cost is an 8C donor car and then the cost of an 8 month conversion process.
