Supercars spotted, some rarities (vol 6)

[smithyithy]

Yeah there appears to be a side skirt which is black on the car in the photo, I think that just makes the car look too high.

Might just be a difficult car to photograph but something about it just doesn't look right for an Aston (in my eyes)..

The car is almost as wide as the house
Last pic of it!

I had that sat alongside me for miles in 50mph roadworks a while ago, quite stunning in the metal...

Ha yes. I was a touch over excited! Have to say though, the car looks great in the metal. Although I'd be a little disappointed with the interior for £150k+

Quick question, as it's now August and the summer has officially come to an end. Was there ever the influx of Arab super/hyper cars in London this summer ? Or did people just not post them ?

Hi epom. There will still be a good amount still around. Some seem to not actually leave.

The Aston just looks wrong on the side profile IMHO.
The back end looks great but side....yikes!

Not sure how rare this is but I spotted F550 FER this evening in a local small town...
I think that it's a 550 barchetta and I seem to recall that they're pretty rare!

do like old American cars

448 produced, currently commanding £350k, on average.

Will put up the full set when I can. Cheers to the guy who spotted it!
What a car.

Love that photo. Can you post the photo itself?

[smithyithy]

Spotted just now in Telford, pulled up for a chat and a couple of photos. Owner was sound, had a quick chat about the cars, he'd just bought this I believe, said he was off for a drive around Wales, perfect weather for it.

Must say that in the flesh and in this colour, it's a lovely looking car

My guess is that people realised seeing different photos of the same ~25 cars being driven around Kensington does nothing for most people? For which, I am grateful.

I did see some rubbish blurry stuff posted few weeks ago and skipped past it.

A set of wheels and tyres for an XJ220 would probably pay the rent on that house for a year or two.

A new petrolhead mate has one of the 5 220 Sports built. He mentioned a replacement carbon rear wing was something like £7,000 I think this was just the blade and not the pylons

That's not far off how we calculate how much replacement parts are in work. Formula is as follows - think how much they should be, then times it by 10 and thats usually how much they cost.

A rarity because 1. Its a 66 plate and 2. Its a 750?

Thanks. Sure!





I started working through the proper pics too. What a lovely morning out!

I THINK it's a 675LT MSO. (not 100% on the MSO bit)

Apart from the wing vents and the numberplate?

Nice spot. Lovely thing, even in 'rapper white'...
