Twice in 2 weeks now i've seen a yellow rs200 near Whalebone Lane, Dagenham. Can't say it is genuine but it does look and sound the part.

Today in Esher heard a car rumbling away on a private driveway and just after i'd driven by I caught a glimpse of it in my mirrors, sadly going the other way but a gorgeous blue and white 6R4
Often see one on weekday evenings coming out of London heading East.

Must be the same one, and must be a replica. Doubt anyone would use a genuine RS200 as a commuter car!

Stunning pictures as ever.

I don't think I've ever seen a blue F40.

Christ those LaFerraris are common.

I'm assuming the green one is Jay Kays?

The green one is Jay Kay's, yes.

Is the F40 'blu pozzi'? It almost looks metallic though.

That's a 911 Sport Classic.
Not as rare as a 4.0, but still very limited run and a great spot!
That's the badger! Completely forgot about the sport classic.
It's not.
So would sir care to enlighten us? ?
It's very obviously just a basic Carrera with a ducktail spoiler and some fancy wheels added.
It also has front bumper and stripes. OP, did you see the interior colour? If it's brown then it's definitely genuine. Looks the real deal to me.
I'm with the "copy" fraternity. It's really nice anyway - and some of the details are correct (bumper, black rings round the headlights etc.) but the Porsche nerd in me thinks the daylight running lights etc. in the bumpers are wrong - and I'm pretty sure it hasn't got the double-bubble roof, which is a bit tougher to copy than bumpers & stripes.... Also, if it is genuine, I suggest it's been painted because I'm fairly sure all sports classics were grey... a colour called "sport classic grey".

'tis lovely though - and I'd happily have it as a daily :-)
It's a very good copy, but definitely, 100% a copy. As has been mentioned before the 911 Sport Classic was based on the 997.2, and this is a 997.1. The key is in the aux lights in the bumper.

I used to see a yellow RS200 rep around Romford, going back about 15 years now. No stickers like the one in the pic but it's very likely to be the same car.

Saw a black GT3 RS 4.0 (LHD) on the fulham road this morning. Didn't have time to take a photo but my favourite spot yet and first time I've seen one in the wild.

Someone in my stepdad's street appears to have traded the Range Rover for an i8. The most exciting car round there by miles:

It's not Blu Pozzi, that is a much much darker blue. This blue is not a Ferrari colour but is probably closest to TDF.
