Most exclusive/rare/exotic car you've owned

[nogsk]

For me it was a Fiat 130 Pininfarina coupe. Amazing car, outrageous orange velour interior, cable operated electric windows and a hand throttle.
Sold it when I had to replace a headlight for the MOT £250 - and that was was in the early 80's!

Exclusive - Jag XJC

Rare - MG Maestro Turbo

Exotic - Nothing really

[Wolands Advocate]

Logically either the W124 E500 or the Z1. Both rare and exclusive, and the latter is certainly fairly exotic.

But actually I think the rarest, in terms of total number built, was the 156 GTA oddly enough. Only about 3,000 GTA saloons were built (4,500 if you include the Sportwagen version) whereas Merc knocked out around 10,000 W124 500E/E500s and BMW managed 8,000 Z1s.

Talbot Sunbeam Lotus - only car I regret selling. Rare but I wouldn't say exotic apart from maybe the engine.

[Caruso]

Rarest is my Avantime daily driver.

Exotic is my 308 GT4.

[911 Turbo LE]

A few i have owned over the years.I do regret selling the LE Turbo

theres a tiny water proof box underneath the carpet to hold driving docs and ive found an ideal place to wedge a bag of croissants between the radiator hot water pipe ....keeps them nice and hot when driving in France.

We can close the thread now, I cannot imagine anything cooler.

Rarest is my Scimitar GTC; only 430 (approx) built. Most exotic would be a Maserati Merak (shared ownership).

[tog]

My Bitter SC - they built 20-odd in RHD (of about 420 overall), and of the half dozen or so of those with the 3.9 litre engine, mine was allegedly the only manual one made

[72EuropaTC]

Another Lotus - Europa Twin Cam. Regret having sold her.

Avantime rare! I've got one (daily) and see at least one or two every year

Weekend toy is a 911 Cabriolet

[rudecherub]

Jensen FF one of 320



Audi RS2 one of 315 RHD.

[Evangelion]

944 2.7 in my case. Regretted selling it within days. Bought a very nice old acoustic guitar with part of the proceeds but even now cannot play it without feeling slightly guilty.
