Supercars spotted, some rarities (vol 6)
Discussion
Thought it was a Ferrari F50 when I saw this car in the Maidstone area on Saturday. Transpired to be a CONTERA mdi which are extremely rare hypersports cars. All I know about them is that they are British made and use a rear engined 'V' configuration.
Sadly I did not have a camera or phone on me at the time of the spot but you can see some images if you use Google.

Here's a rarity I spotted on my way to work last night...
...forgive the quality of the photo'; it's a still from my dash camera.
Tidy MkII Orion 1.6 GL with factory fitted tow bar. Nice to see a GL as mostly Ghia models survived. There are only eleven licensed Orion MkI and MkII's on the road with five declared SORN so as rare as many of the suprcar stuff here.

I had a maroon one as a company car....hated it, it was replaced with a Saphire 1.8 lx that was as slow as a slow thing thats dead. Quit the Company and got a Cavalier 2.0 sri. ...forgive the quality of the photo'; it's a still from my dash camera.

My old man had a black Mk2 Orion GLS when I was 4 - 8 (roughly). Used to let me attempt to wash it on Saturdays while listening to old David Bowie cassettes, I liked that car Liquid Knight said:

I dont want to argue on this subject as I do think some rare cars are worth posting (not Orions yet, nor an average GTV) on this thread; but that number really doesn't sound right at all. Orion Ls or GLs, perhaps..Gompo said:

Ha! I posted a pic of a Renault 11 TXE the other day and if that Fuego pops up in the neighbourhood again, then that will grace these pages too. Impasse said:

I'm all for capturing stuff like that (my thread on Autosh!te is full of it), more interesting than the GTV or Orion. My last photo posted in this thread was a Wartburg Tourist, not quite a supercar either.blueg33 said:

Is that chassis an F with C12 S winglets or a C12 S with an F front?
It's an F with C12 S rear wing http://forum.pagani-zonda.net/viewtopic.php?f=17&a...
