Supercars spotted, some rarities (vol 6)

[LongLiveTazio]

McLaren 570 in Halesowen bright and early this morning, heading towards Birmingham. Plate was *** MCL, not sure if it was a press car. Looked lovely in grey, much nicer than the 12C.

And at Raffles tonight...

Assuming there is only one, I saw the tron Aventador this morning, in the owners driveway

675LT in Reigate this morning. Lovely thing.

I've got excess data to use up today so have some pics from Brooklands auction yesterday.



Speedster converted when new but not factory.







DB7 with only 3300 miles on it.

Visiting Singapore on business for the next few days...

Just arrived at the hotel and found this Aventador parked in the afternoon downpour:



With local market import taxes, it's an GBP 800,000 plus car

I have a friend living over there and he regularly sends me pictures of Lamborghinis and Ferraris etc. There one chap with a Zonda in his fairly capacious garage. The taxes don't appear to put the wealthy off purchasing. Perhaps there's a side benefit not seen by those not living there?

I know KSI used to have a purple chrome with orange tron lines vent but it was rewrapped satin black with red tron lines late last year

I beleive he copied the purple with orange tron lines from someone else but I don't think that owner is 'public'

KSI copied the idea from Nasser Al Thani, who had it on his Aventador like 3 years ago

I suspect 20% top rate income tax helps...

More pictures from Japan:


Interesting colour!

Virtual internet point for the person who can identify all 4 cars.

I'm guessing a few hundred made max.?

Interesting colour choice.


Not too often you see an AMG estate.

Somewhat strange combination of tiny street with small apartments and a Techart Porsche and Rolls outside.

I saw a mint example of one the other week. Looked fabulous.

[LongLiveTazio]

Wow, now that's a fat ass.

I know its only a subtle change but I really like how the vertical slats look on the new lid.

Perfect! Just those 4 cars in the picture.

Rest of the spots:


Very poor picture of another Alpina - pretty sure it's a B7.

Silver Cloud III in a car park under a flyover. Seems to be relatively common in Tokyo, and makes sense in terms of using space that wouldn't be nice to live in.

This was in the same car park, as well as a 550 and another Phantom.

Electric power. Thought this was it for the night as I was heading home, but then this appeared... (with a crap photo due to the light sadly)!


Not too bad over 3 days in the middle of winter! Quite a few other normal modern day supercars, but not posted them since they're pretty repetitive. Have to say they drive a lot more variety of nicer cars there. Also saw (what I'm pretty sure is) the new Civic Type R, but it was in a showroom so not posted it. Same goes for a red McLaren 540C (car #12).
