It might be just me, but I can't get excited by these German super saloons. They just look so boring.

This was outside my local pub last night...very cool mustard Singer. This is not my photo as the dog didn't want to stand still long enough for me to take a snap, so shamelessly stolen from Shmee's instagram (will take down post if a problem) so credit to him for this picture.

Veeeeery niiiice! Anyone got more detail about this one? I wonder if it's a UK car...can't be many over here.
Yes it's a UK car. Only RHD one.

Look in the News forum as there was a feature on this and the new Singer Targa recently.
It was at Goodwood a couple weeks back. Stunning.

Hi, it's Dungeness Nuclear power station - I thought the DB6 numberplate was spot on!

Went past this XKR-S GT on the way into Bristol this morning - one of only 10 in the UK apparently.

It is 13 years old? I can't help but think how much better it looks than the 'la'. The size of the 'la' just looks outrageous, I'd have the Enzo if I came across the money.

I remember a few years back when they couldn't give the things away, a couple were in the showroom in Brentwood for years at silly cheap prices compared to what they go for now.

The streets of Hove provided these two interesting Japs this week.

Very nice. I spotted it at the Homebase in Hove in December and posted a pic up here. I think they will always stop me dead in my tracks when I see one.

Absolutely. I remember reading an article that they were available for around £150k brand new, I think this was in 1996/7 or something like that. My local Jaguar dealer (Grange Welwyn) had one in the showroom for a while, I made my parents detour past the dealership so I could see it everyday smile

I'd still take one over an F1, F40 etc.

A friend of mine is one of the many who canceled thier initial orders with deposits and then "LOST" the court case brought on with jaguar for breach of contract and had to pay up iirc a further £50K ..! For not taking delivery of the car..!

taking photos into the sun isn't that easy and iPhones prefer focusing on the bugs on the screen

Rare it may be but it looks ridiculous with that wing. It just looks like a DIY job by a well heeled boy racer.

For some reason big wings seem to work on a Porsche RS but don't work at all on a Jag.

If I'd seen that car,I'd have placed it in "Badly modified" not knowing Jag had done it.

Hi there,

Spotted on Deansgate, Manchester around midday today

Thats my friend Will's car, he's only had it for a month or so. Stunning in and out and still has that slight edge of bonkers about it. Tiny inside, huge outside - even at 5'8, him getting in is a work of art.

Sounds epic though above 4k.

Usually parked or driving through Alderley Edge.

I have a softspot for these as they are daft. I believe there was/is only to be 20 worldwide, or something low like that.
