Guys I hate to point this out but some of the cars you are offering up as supercars simply aren't. I know the definition is a little bit open to interpretation but not this much!

For example the AC 3000ME is an interesting car, a mid engine sports car but never a supercar, same as the 3ltr Marcos just another nice if over looked sports car. Oh and the Delorean, thanks to its heavy weight body and asthmatic Renault engine that was barely a sports car, more shiny stainless steel turd than supercar!

Supercar? Maybe not.

Unloved?



Personally I rather like them, but not everyone does

wasnt there a link on here a month or so ago about the last one of them being flogged off for about 10k? or did I dream that?

if so, my dreams are more depressing than I thought.
Surely not! I'd have been trying to borrow 10k asap.

Think there was an engineless mule floating about for that sort of money.

Think Oakfields bought up all the actual cars.

You'd never fit a TVR V8 in a 3- cyl diesel, you div.

Ah, I see.

That is pretty hideous. Garlick, loving your Jalpa though - is that not what Rock drives in Rocky IV when he's being all sad about Apollo? Epic montage...

Why bother asking the question, it is obvious that some of these are not supercars and we all know it. Its a very good thread and does not need to be ruined by analism wink
