Saw this lovely 675LT in the car park at Sainsburys in Halifax on Saturday.

Couldn't believe it when I spotted it.

Looked really good. Shame about the poor camera phone photo frown

The McLaren demo 675LT as seen in all the car magazines etc.
Strange to see it in Halifax of all places!

Yeah, I thought I recognised the plate.

The guy came back to it as I was taking the photo and said that he only had it for another couple of days so he was making the most of it. Who can blame him? Although, saying that, I think I'd be heading out to North Yorkshire and making the most of it, rather than doing the shopping at Sainsburys. Each to their own, I'm sure he's had some fun though.

There are some bloody nice cars around Halifax, I've seen various Ferraris and Lambos etc saw an MP4-12C in the centre of Halifax not long ago

It appears that they purchased the whole set. I have seen pictures of LT02 MCL, LT03 MCL, LT04 MCL, LT05 MCL, LT06 MCL and LT07 MCL, so far.

Hi there,

Spotted a Red Lamborghini Countach Anniversary (no rear wing) this morning around 9:05am on the A50 from Holmes Chapel to Knutsford.

No photo as the memory on my iphone was full so wouldn't open camera and the memory card on my dahs cam had crashed (flippin technology).

Reg plate was HOG40, driver must have been just giving the car a run as he went up to the Whipping Stocks pub before turning round and heading back to Holmes Chapel.

Awesome car and certainly brightened up a damp Monday.



Seems odd that it was only registered last year though. Correct engine size so perhaps one from a collection rather than a kit car

Regards

Tim
AndrewD Perhaps?

He was imported, went through a resto and then probably registered in the UK.

Could be wrong my memories not what it used to be.

Must be quite rare?..



Just afterwards a lovely lime green Cayman R parked behind me. No pic as I was just leaving. Rare though? HowManyLeft reckons only a couple hundred R's on the road?
Is this a racing teams colour scheme or something as I've seen a MK1 MX5 with the same colours, looks pretty cool

I could be wrong, but wasn't the Gold Leaf Lotus the first Formula One car to carry the colours of a cigarette brand?

I think it's just the Sprint-specific colours. I imagine the MX5 was emulating the Elan as they are quite similar cars I suppose.

LT02 MCL drove past me on M6 last Friday and I was surprised how quiet it was compared to a blue Ferrari 2000 plate 360 Modena that came by a few minutes later.
I was going to post about seeing my first McLaren on the road until I looked at the front page.
Fantastic looking car.

Saw a racing green sister car to that in Stratford on Friday afternoon.

And then a lovely original RR Ghost this afternoon.


(BTW...think you need to change your # plate...I could take the old one off your hands, save you the hassle! wink )
