Supercars spotted, some rarities (vol 6)

[Martin350]

I was a few cars behind a red La Ferrari between Marden and Linton just now, until it pulled into Linton petrol station.

I've been indoors at home for a few minutes now and as I started typing this heard it go down the Loose Road heading into Maidstone! biggrin

Car got to be worth more than the house?

Depends when it was bought really!

111 mile example for 100k in 2003.

Looking at recent results they are going for 250k+ not quite reaching 300k yet.

Bruntingthorpe this morning, many thanks to the owner who took me round the circuit in this lovely QPV... fantastic acceleration , a fabulous sound and excellent brakes...

As interesting as some of these photos of "vehicles" are might I suggest a thread title reminder alert

What was the prefix? Looks like an "R"?
I thought the very last ones were M reg?

I know there were a few that were sold off later on though but I don't know if they were pre reg?

Registered in September 1997 so definitely a legitimate Road reg

R110 AAR

Late registration? They struggled to shift the last few cars didn't they?

I recall so too, £100K sales rings a bell?

Yeah I think I heard some low figures being quoted. From Wiki:

Sales performance was disappointing. Jaguar had intended to produce up to 350 cars, but production ceased in 1994 with 275 production cars produced, not all of which had been sold; some left-hand drive examples were still available in 1997.

Just walked round the corner to see if it was still there in the daylight and it's been joined by a old camper van

If at Bruntingthorpe, like most airfields the surface can throw up quite a lot of grit, stones etc so probably just a temporary bit of protection. I needed a front end respray on my first elise after a day at Elvington.
