Holy Grail cars?

[Welshwonder]

Wow, I just put that fiesta number plate into DVLA and it's still registered. Last taxed in 1994! How cool would it be to find that sat in a barn?

I think scrapped cars show up too unfortunately. My W-reg Fiesta (first car) does and was last taxed in 99.

Very sad end for such a rare car

[so called]

The TVR Tuscan convertible was produced on 2005 and 2006.
Typical with TVR, the production numbers are pretty unclear.
However if I use this unofficial list and some other that I cant remember the source of, it makes me believe my convertible is quite holy.



So with the 2006 quantity of 31 and the fact that 28 of those were the Tuscan S model, that means that there were only 3 of my non-S cars produced.
I don't really care but just wanted to get one or two cringing

Alfa Romeo Carabo.

This could sort 1 or 2 of you out!

Not uber rare, but these days well out of my price range.

I'd happily trade Mrs T for one (sold as seen).

Three made and none in public hands:




Several production-ready prototypes built, but no production:




Plenty made, but only a handful left:

E 862 TOV - Abarth 130TC, bought pre-registered around '87 or '88 from a Fiat dealer on Dudley Road in Birmingham. Loved the car, although reliability wasn't it's forte, and would love to have it back. Drove it on my first visit to Le Sarthe in 1989. Eventually went the way of all decent motors in Birmingham when it was nicked. Would love another one but doubt my arse would fit into the Recaros now.

[Digby]

Well, if you like old Mitsubishi Colt Galant estates, mine is apparently the only one in the UK.




I think given the choice, I would rather have this, though..

Not a proper holy grail car but rare enough for this thread I hope :P

Lancia Delta S4 "Stradale"

911 GT1 is quite special.

Love it. Strangely, nobody seems to be bothered about the 996 "fried egg" headlights here.

Two for me: 037 stradale and S4 stradale

The other car I would love to own now (and hopefully keep for a very long time) would be an Evo 6 RS Sprint. I think they sold 20ish and were basically UK versions of a Jap special. I remember reading the road test (Evo mag maybe) back in 1999 and immediately loved everything about them.

My Dad's mate bought the first one in the country. He had a string of Evos from Gen IV on. I remember being taken out 'round the block' in the Sprint and it was a wild thing. Gearing was ridiculously short! It was delivered still on its steel wheels and skinny tyres! Thereafter it was fitted with a set of matching white Compomotive MOs. All it needed was a cage and off to the Group N you go.

RUF Yellow Bird


But, as it's not something I'm liable to get, my back up grails are a '69 charger and a 71 Challenger.

Hell yes. This and the F40, is where it was at for me as a kid (still is). I'd maybe add a 997 RS 4.0 to that list too.

And driven by Clarkson in the classic VHS, "Top Gear Supercars".

Had a look around that at the Scottish motor show Jesus was it roughly finished.

Can you tell me more - PM if you wish to keep this on track.

Talking of which, another car that ended up in Brunei - Bentley Hunaudieres

That car became the basis for the Veyron IIRC

[sinbaddio]

Aston Martin Bulldog, remember seeing this on Tomorrows World as a very young boy. I think the prototype was sold overseas:



and a Bentley Continental Sedanca SC - around 70 built, perfect for cruising around the Med:

Yes, sold before it got to do its 200+ mph run.

Aston V12 Zagato



C2 or C3 Corvette Stingray

[Mannginger]

If I won a proper amount on the lottery I would love Toyota 2000GT, one of the best looking cars ever made in my opinion and apparently only 350 or so of them created.



Oh and any quad-rotor car
