Most incongruous supercar photo thread

[AtlantisWeb]

That 288GTO with the CC 1 plate, belonged to Charles Church, the builder. He later sold the plate to The Candy Brothers in West London.

Funny. The first Ferrari I ever saw was a GTO on the number plate CC1. I was 8 and the owner must have seen me nearly wet myself with excitement and let me sit in it. Difficult to forget!

My God.. eventually. This was the first Ferrari I ever saw, I must have been about 10 years old and in London when it was driving infront of us. That car and the reg plate have stayed in my head ever since. I have told countless people over the years about the Ferrari with the "BEG 4 1T" plate.. Now 24 years later it appears on PH :-)

Good memories :-)

Found these great photos on the (awesomely informative) McLaren F1 area over at Automotive Forums, uploaded by Hurstg01 (not sure if he's the original photographer or not?)

Wow, as incongruous as it gets.

I know nothing about the photos and there wasn't much more info on the forum where I found them. Obviously the car's current owner is known on this forum but I don't know if it was his when it was parked on that street.

GTR's were always a discount to road cars but in the last year that has been reversed. Market now see GTR's like the race 250 swbs. not many cars and given who owns them it seems unlikely any will be sold soon.

Wow, that's great news! Great stuff Andy.

Yep, I'd have to agree, as perverse as it is to see a car with race history and victory (I think after a Wikipedia that is chassis #14) out and about.

Although I think the Harrods livery one pottering around London is somewhat apt! Despite the obvious madness of driving an endurance racer in a busy inner city!

'tis still chassis #13R but I think they were taken before Andy bought it. I remember them popping up over on AF when hurstg01 posted them.

What I love the most about seeing #13R and the Harrods car pottering around is that you also see them at VMAX or on the owners tours being blatted around the Alps and such. Much better that they have owners that use them as opposed to the many that keep them hidden away.

Ok, if we're doing hypercars now, hows about the weekly shop at Aldi...... In a Jaguar XJ220!

Finally! Proper use of the kiddie spaces

It was! Usually there's an XJ6 parked there and its just a set of miserable old gits that cant be bothered to walk a few extra feet. At least the XJ220 was fitted with the babyseat for the young'un!

I'm not sure if this is incongruous or not?

Seems a shame to waste business cover.

Gavin wins.

[gregf40]

I personally think Andy74b wins.

Not them either of them are losers!

[Behemoth]

Do they also have roofboxes for them?
