Fiat Uno turbo, would love another to relive my days of being 18, but I suspect they are all piles of dust or dog food cans by now frown

I'm not sure if ultra rare cars should be in here but cars that people rarely want to sell would be more interesting. I'd include;

Renault A610
Talbot Tagora
Marcos 1800GT
Vauxhaul Nova
Porsche 912

It's not true that the above are never for sale but for the numbers around, there seem to be very few.

There are about 40-50 A610s, I see maybe 1 a year come up
Hundreds of 912s and you see a handful
Hundreds of Novas but they ate rarely in classifieds.
Marcos 1800, you see quite a few 1600s but rarely the 1800.

Correct me if I'm wrong on any of the above.

NSX-R GT

Only 5 made to comply with JGTC homologation, so will never be seen for sale.

seriously you've got issues. jealousy is not a good thing just because i have the money to go and buy an M135I with cash outright.
Why would you type that? First of all they are not a fortune...what 30k? and secondly bragging that you have that amount lying around just makes you sound like a douche as there are a lot of people far less fortunate.

Plenty of us buy cars outright but perhaps choose not to tell everyone for fear of coming across as bragging; especially as some people are still struggling after the economy crash.

Yep, completely jealous, oh noes look at my jellies over here, make sure you post a picture of yourself with it tomorrow and a pack of Robinson Jelly so you can just show me how jealous I am......

Anyway, you don't see any Alfa Romeo 155's for sale at all, maybe one will turn up every now and then in 3 shades of pink. Always said "one day I will own one" well that one day has never arrived and there is probably 5 left so I've definitely missed the boat.
I always liked them,really smart looking cars. The RZ and SZ also seem to not be for sal, there used to usually be one or two of each on AutoTrader but at the moment and have checked a few times recently there's none of either.
SZ for sale although not in the UK also a very low mileage one went up for sale in Holland last week. http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C314956

If your going down that route:



2 made, 2 unlikely to ever be sold.

Akin to the R390?

& if you had 30k cash, why would you buy a BMW hatchback?

Sheep springs to mind.

I imagine that Mercedes CLK-GTR's in right hand drive are pretty thin on the ground.

Volvo 340. All gone to drifters I think.
Quite a few about if you look in the right places, mate keeps sending me links to them as I quite like the idea of a 360 again (first car driven was a 360, first car was a 340). Most do seem to be bodged and dropped but there are still some stock, granny specials hiding out there smile

The 75 ads have dried up as well.
