Doesn't look like his plate, unless this is pre private plate going on? (assuming you mean Andy B).

Andy's has grey stripes. Both are stunning though.

Ah my mistake, I couldn't see the stripes. It looks like his though and so does the carpark.

One of only one, built by Porsche GB to celebrate 50 years of the 911. Built using the best parts from all previous 911s.

One of only one and built specially by Porsche GB Reading to celebrate 50 years of the Porsche 911. Built using the best parts from previous 911s.

The 911R isnt 'one of one'.

There are 991 of them (I think)

Super-rare '02 plated E38 BMW "ALPINA M745i" spotted yesterday on Hawley Lane, Farnborough.

Driven like a doofus, too. Got shirty with me because he stopped to give way to me at a mini roundabout, but I couldn't go because I needed to give way to three cars approaching rapidly from my right. He then took off like a scalded cat, yet by the time we reached the A325 I'd caught up to him despite sticking to the 30mph limit. He was tailgating the car ahead of him, predictably...

Oh, and a lovely Ferrari which was turning in to Windsor Farm Shop as I was leaving, yesterday mid-afternoon.

I think it was a convertible Testarossa. Although it could have been a 512TR. Did they make a convertible version of those?

I feel daft now, but I'm no 'history of Modena' expert. All I know is that I spotted a late 80s/early 90s Ferrari with those side-strakes. I was half-way over the road, and concentrating on safely getting out into a gap in traffic, so didn't have time to stop and stare. Nice chap, though - happy to wave me out and wait until I got out of his way, rather than pulling up alongside me in that central refuge.

A few Testarossas have been made into convertibles but not by Ferrari as far as I know, although I could be wrong.

Maybe it was a 348 Spider..?

If it was light blue, there was a factory Testarosa spider built for Giovanni Agnelli. It was a one-off and was recently featured in Classic and Sports Car.

[yellowjack]

Not sure about the 348 idea. Proportions seemed wrong, it 'looked' longer, and a bit meaner (as I remember it). It was also red. Traditional Ferrari red.

No matter really if I never find out exactly what it was. It was lovely, you don't see many out and about, and it cheered my up to see it getting used...

Not super Supercars, but spotted 3 Alpinas in the space of about 15 mins around Cribbs Causeway/M5 last night - 2 E9? 3 series and a lovely 8 series

He was referring to the green RS replica from a few pages back.

[Shnozz]

Talking of RS's, Jay Kay's is up for sale at the minute and had a good look around it last week (sadly not with a view to purchase). Beautiful car.

I knows It's Romans but I cycle past every Sunday morning! And can't resist.....it is pretty rare after all!

I don't bother looking at Roman's website much, so when I walked past this today I double taked

at the price.

You can have a McLaren MP4 off them for 20K less.....

But the MP4 won't appreciate in value like the beemer

go on then what is it? BMW M4 special edition of some kind?

£164k

I have no doubt they'll sell it to some chinless wonder with a pot full of tax rebates but it's nothing special to look at and there are much better cars available in that price bracket.

Mustang GT350R..... trumps it for half the price and you get a V8 and not a dull 6 pot with V10 sounds through the speakers..... serious joke of a car given the competition and pricing.

Not sure this fully counts, but didn´t know where else to put it. Seen on the M20 on Monday afternoon - Mk1 Mazda MX-5 Le Mans, one of an original 24 built to commemorate their win at Le Mans in ´91 - that´s paint, not a wrap, and they all had a BBR turbo conversion.

I am by no means an M4 fan, but have you seen how the GTS behaves on track? No Mustang would know which way it went.

Also, with special limited editions, the price doesn't necessarily reflect a quantitative sum of the parts on paper. Afficiandos love them and they have a very niche but loyal tarket consumer. Plus, as a result, their future values will always be strong too.

You don't have to worry anyway as all the new ones are sold.
