Does this count? AMG S63, I don't recall seeing this shape in the flesh before now but, as with BMWs, I am not in touch with what counts as special.

Took one out for a spin on it's launch.
It has a far more visually subtle presence than it's predecessors, but the cabin is the epitome of mild opulence.

Big, broad coupes with thunderous power-plants, and a cheeky coquette in the passenger seat...well, these whips - the Continentals, the Vanquishes, the GranTurismos, The CLs - only make sense as you are edging into Villeneuve-Loubet as the sun sets. Dribbling around the outskirts of Maidenhead in one of these, listening to Marlow FM, as the endless traffic jams just molest your very being...this is not the car for that.

The heated armrests I found particularly enticing. Utterly irreverent, details like that will make even the humblest Jesuit want to carry on like George IV.



The power & the glory.

Here's a lovely 1966 Ford Cortina I spotted leaving the Edinburgh City Bypass at the Lothianburn junction this evening. It looked smashing and had a very fruity exhaust note!

That is gorgeous. Is this the pick or is the 65 with the v12 the one to have.
Definitely my everyday popping to shops car when I win the lottery. In black

Between J13 and J19 on the M25 today, I saw an F50, an F40, a 599 GTO, an MP4-12C and this...

Can you see it?

Something going on at DK Engineering perhaps?

That was my first thought, as the registration on that F1 used to be on a Zonda F which I know DK dealt with. The F50 and the F40 were going counter-clockwise around the M25 and the yellow 599 GTO was on Italian plates and he nipped off down the M4 west. Still, it was lovely to see the F1 out in the wild. That was only the second one I've seen on the road.

Same owner - another honest petrolhead.

Agreed - and a fellow PH'er

Love the photo

Spotted about 10 miles from the garage on the plates who have it for sale, it had the same one on the front and not a trade plate anywhere to be seen!
