Supercars spotted, some rarities (vol 6)

[buckline]

One for the beards.

I saw what looked to be a 250 GTO this morning. It was looked to be gun metal grey, had the 3 air intakes open, the prancing horse at the front and sounded the part. The only things that confused me were that it has quite a 'whale tail' at the back and it was in Stevenage at 7:45 this morning.

Is there a gun metal grey 250 GTO in the UK or was it a replica?

Very cool spot! Proper dream car there

Fair play to the owner driving it around London.

it's a nice car. Weird how few of the current shape DB9 and DBS I've seen. I am not a fan of cherished regs that refer to the car they are attached to, but that's hardly a significant detail.

Apologies for the terrible photo, spotted whilst on holiday in Portugal

Believe its one of 400 Fiat/Abarth 131 rallys built

Nice. I spotted exactly one of these for sale on-line at an attractive price in a garage in Italy. Loads of photos and certainly appeared to be a genuine sale, but it sold (or was withdrawn from sale) before I had time to get a flight booked to view. Much more interesting than yet another Escort.

Far better than having any type of Bond or 007 reference on the number plate.

That one is in Porto and from my brief look was in good condition.

What sort of money do they go for?

I've lost count of all the ones I've seen around the UK, mostly in London but I've seen quite a few in Brum

the DBS has been my absolute dream car since 2007, I was lucky enough to drive one last week and it only reinforced that I need a DBS at some point in my life

You got me looking again and lo-and-behold this is that exact same car up for sale again. Sadly POA now.

It's relatively common to see it being driven around there (at least as 959s go).

they seem to have really fallen out of fashion in the north. In the DB9 heyday every perma-tanned 20-something CEO or footballer had one, and that's 85% of south manchester and cheshire.

Had these rarities arrive at a recent Essex meet.

Terrible photo of an F12 in Knutsford. Sounded good. Can't remember the last time I saw one.

I think that's Shmee150's mate who went with him to go pick up his 675LT from the the Mclaren dealer there.

[SpeedBall]

Yeah, I thought the plate was familiar. Saw it a few hours ago.
