That is brilliant.
There are some very nice cars in Vietnam and Cambodia.
Never seen anything quite so nice in my visits there though.
Remember a similar paradox when I saw a Gallardo Superleggera on a backstreet in Bangkok one evening!

you can get em over there, there's a prestige car dealership in the roof of one of the big malls. Quite the import tax nightmare though, my quick arithmetic had a then new murcielago at about a million quid.

Also the Lambo dealership in Siam Paragon shopping centre.
Also found a random dealer selling classics near our hotel.
Daytona on the streets of Bangkok anyone? Mental!

Spotted a Ferrari Daytona in racing livery around the Cotswolds yesterday - curious to find out more on this one if anyone has any info

What colour was the livery? Nick Mason has a yellow one based not far away.

Followed a Porsche 550 yesterday, do we think it's real?

No idea if it is/was real, but there was PLENTY of time for you to have stopped at that traffic light @24 seconds in...


Oh, and the registration number dates from 1989. Porsche only produced the 550 Spyder between 1953 and 1956. It is not permitted (in UK) to display a registration number which makes a vehicle appear to be 'younger' than it actually is.

I therefore deduce that this is a replica, and did in fact start life as a 1300cc 1989 Skoda Rapid (58 or 62 hp dependent upon whether it was a 135 or a 136 model)...


...so you risked pushing on through a changing traffic light to follow one of these.

Amber gambler baby….didn't look 'safe to stop' to me without risking a rear end incident with Tracy doing her make up.

Total pleasure - thanks for taking the time to comment. I rarely see anything in day-to-day existence but race paddocks and car parks abound with unusual oddities. The Bentley, for example, is one of only 79 produced. It might've passed me by, were it not for the slightly unfamiliar proportions.

F-me so it was! Thanks

[Dave G fsi]

Not a supercar by any stretch but certainly a rarity, any ideas what it is?
