Holy Grail cars?

[FIREBIRDC9]

This doesn't apply to me specifically , but being part of the MR2 community i give you this.


The SARD MC8

There is only one Road going version.

It was based on the Le Mans MC8R of the late 1990s

Nobody knew where it was for years , then about 2 years ago now it surfaced in Japan and was for sale.


It sold again rather quickly and has vanished once again!

This would have to be the holy grail of the MR2 world



This link here shows pictures taken when it was for sale.

The prototype centre steer Series 1 Land Rover< does it still exist somewhere or was it cut up for scrap.

It still exists.

Check out the Top Gear episode which featured Will Smith & that gorgeous Aussie actress whose name I can't remember.

Hammond was filmed sitting in it (The Land Rover. Not the Aussie actress).

Also there was a feature on the centre steer Land Rover in Land Rover Monthly around 12/15 months ago. I have the issue somewhere I think.

You sure it wasn't an enthusiast built replica?

It did, that was me, and you've got to sell it so that I can do the right thing and fix those wonky headlamp wipers.

Don't make me get a 2.6 and stick a 2JZ-GTE in it...

I've not read the whole thread so forgive me if it's been covered already.
The Mk2 MR2 TRD 2000GT is pretty rare, I think there were about 20ish made in total.
A good friend of mine had one and it's a lovely car, felt totally different to drive than my MK2 Turbo

Some weird and wonderful cars here, some of which I never knew existed.

I've always loved that Brabus too. Lovely.

Aston DB6 in Vantage Specification. This exact colour combination too. My father had one in the 80's. The bonnet chopped off the end of my lefthand middle finger in 1984. I think of that car every time I look at the scar. I'd love to track the owner down someday and buy it back.

The tip of your finger?

Too late, bro; let it go.

Budaum tish!

The tip was re-attached (very poorly). I subsequently caught it in a door 6 months later and it was tidied up somewhat. Looking back on it I'm surprised I wasn't put up for sale.

One holy grail car for me have just come up for sale (sort of, it is at a auction so it will be sold at specific time):

Ohh, what I would give to have that.

[MaxRothery]

Just any of the old triumph prototypes such as the 3000 (drag v8 in a 2500), awd 1300 (genuinely built and can be built as parts are still available) , and the mule car for the tr7 which was a triumph 2000

For me it was always the Alpina B12 5.7 Coupe

After years of searching I managed to buy the only UK car ever sold. This was one of only 4 RHD B12s produced but more importantly the only one based on an 850CSi (The other 3 cars were built for the Sultan of Brunei and were based on the standard 850i due to a shortage of CSIs available). It is number 47/57 and the only B12 painted in Avus Blue which just happens to be my favourite BMW colour. Undergoing a full restoration at the moment but looking forward to the day it looks like this again:

That deserves a thread!

[Piers_K]

For sale at the moment too..

I used to know of a 2000 estate, Stag engined and 4x4 rotting in a builders yard.

I believe it's since been rescued and restored.

Oooh, love the 288 gto. The Evoluzione is not as pretty though so not holy grail for me.
