Supercars spotted, some rarities (vol 6)

[LotusOmega375D]

Thursday lunch time. What seemed to be a very noisy white Murcielago LP670-4 SV, which briefly joined the M1 southbound near Nottingham. Reg. number something like V12PRD. Looked a bit "Halfords" with all the black bits added compared to the purity of the original.

Hi there,

Wifey just texted me this picture.



She's nipped to Tesco's in Uttoxeter and its parked up there. The guy used to have a 458 Spider and lives in the town so I guess I will be seeing it around a bit more.

Regards

Tim

Not quite a super car, but I spotted this at Landvetter airport a few minutes ago.





(///M550d Touring, quite rare for Sweden and I presume as rare as hens teeth in the UK)

they're not building them for RHD markets, so even rarer than that!

Saw a 968 Club Sport in Wilmslow late last night. How Many Left suggests about 80 something are currently taxed. Is that correct or have I read it wrong?

Hi there,

Ah yes one of the best days out ever.

Still some of the most memorable photos I have ever taken

Just curious, the F40 on the far left of that pic..ive never seen an F40 with the number plate that low on the bumper and the Ferrari stallion in the middle of the rear grille? is this some sort of EU or US F40 or has that been done by the owner afterwards? Looks a bit Testarossa..I like it

Obviously not! The body is though...

Don't see how anyone could find flat purple attractive, personally.

it was a loaded question... why would anyone permanently paint the calipers the same colour as a temporary wrap?

An owner modification, was never standard for any market.

You can paint them back to the original colour pretty cheaply and efficiently; somewhere like Posh Wash in London will do it in 24 hours for a very reasonable amount.

It's not painted, it's wrapped.

It's painted for sure.

[CMYKguru]

Guy pulled up in this gets out and goes into the back of the chip shop with a potato chipper

So either this bloke owns the chippy or he repairs potato chippers for a living

Er, no, it is a wrap by Yiannimize.

Supersport and friends

They are owned by the same guy who lives 3 doors up from me in South Ken.

Russian bloke, nice guy.

ok i will kick the doorman as he said it was painted, if it is the case was very well done around the arches.

[v15ben]

A few recent ones from me.
The first two are from Market Harborough, the rest from London.
No idea what the last one is. Was badged as Sultan.

[v15ben]

After lots of Google searches, all I can come up with is that it's a 2000 model "Sultan" with a 1600cc engine.
Any other info seems limited or non-existent.
It was parked on the street in Holland Park.

[Juber]

In Ascot (makes a change from the same cars in London) on Saturday night.

2 Polish car wash blokes - one to hold the pot of B&Q radiator enamel, and the other to spill it all over my wheels?

I'm sure you're about to tell me that because of the word 'posh' in the name, they therefore charge £200 for a car wash, which means they're also inherently good at painting calipers
