Supercars spotted, some rarities (vol 6)

[gwm]

Ford Raptor in Edinburgh - got to be rare if not a supercar. Never seen one in the UK before. What's the plate about?

[E30Addict]

It's a German export plate.

M25 clockwise yesterday, Heathrow area. Incredible condition – spotless sills and paintwork. Not a ripple anywhere I could see.

My old man had a Blue Mk1 of them almost new from my uncle after he died, and then had the Mk2 like above but he had the sort of fast back\sloped hatch SRI version, in silver

Second one of these I've seen and the first with racing stripes...

Spotted on the m3 and brightened up the laborious average speed section - Ferrari 250 GT TDF

Goodwood Revival time isn't it? So hopefully a few more of these spots over the weekend.

Nice to see an F40 being used properly! The weather was awful that day!

It was a great big touring motorbike, something like a Honda Gullwing.

Honda Goldwing. They're great big bikes , the size of a small car, but not so car-like that they have doors

I'm guessing rare...

Yup

And quite special as well with aluminum doors, front wings and hood.
Very much in line with the original Golf I GTi heritage.

It's a Lupo GTI , how an earth does that conceivable fit in "supercar spotted, some rarities" ?

Do you know what, I like how the thread has evolved over the years and whilst might have moved away from being truly faithful to the title, has become somewhere people share all sorts of spots. We now have rare, interesting, bizarre, historic. Some spots are posted just because someone thinks the colour scheme is different, or a wheel combination is nice/awful/whatever. I like that - it opens discussion and allows us to learn and look at things differently. So yes, the title is no longer totally accurate, but for old times sake I don't want to see it change over future volumes.

I thought we'd moved away from the bickering over the title, obviously not.

Had a nice chat with my friend in his new 458 today - very nice too. Top bloke, top car.

Next weekend.

I've seen that TdF at a Goodwood Breakfast club before,it's lovely.

[chevronb37]

A couple more of the 918 that was in the paddock at the Oulton Park Gold Cup.





It might be a not-very-rare hatchback (see Lupo GTI discussions above) but I got a total kick out of seeing an Integrale at the Himos stage of Rally Finland.

3000 produced year, hardly rare and no a supercar, so which do you think it qualifies under?

Go on, you've seen HUNDREDS recently, haven't you?
The thread has evolved well, unfortunately some attitudes haven't. Don't like it? Use your scroller.

As previously mentioned, by me, this thread has evolved from the thread title.

Oh, and about 1,000 Lupo GTis came to the UK over the five years it was on sale here.
