Supercars spotted, some rarities (vol 7)

[Amirhussain]

Spotted at a show yesterday in Llandudno. Went to visit the pier, wasn’t expecting to see all these

What is with everyone putting tarp down beneath their car? Not seen that before.

To catch the engine sweat from all the old horses probably hence the 911 tarp being at the rear

(Avoid oil stains on the promenade?)

It may be a particular condition of being allowed to park on what is normally a pedestrian area, so that any engine fluids that are dropped are captured.

That had been my guess too but seemed remarkably selfless and organised! Fair play, particularly if its not mandated by the council.

Someone has a very different definition of "supercar" to me.

All rare though - some a bit super.

The only one I'm struggling with is the MK2 golf (although can't remember when i last saw one) - Its not a rare 4x4 is it?

The old man has done loads of these, and its certainly no drive in the park.

The tarps are there to catch any oil.

Brabus G700.

Not my taste at all, but it's rare to see a Brabus at all. Plus, we miss these shouty big V8s when they are gone.

It’s mandated by the council, I’m just back in from Marshalling on the rally, superb entry list and amazing variety too

It really was, should’ve taken more pictures as I’d never seen one in the flesh before.

Assuming by the plate that’s it’s a V600 Vantage

I think it's just a V8 Coupe. It doesn't appear to have the flared arches of the Vantage.

Deceptive angle. It’s a Vantage. Although it’s a V550, unless engine-but-not-body modified.

Was great. Seen a red Alfa Montreal or GTV6 (I think) and thought that’s quite nice…imagine the shock and excitement I seen about 20 minutes later when I seen all those beauties lined up!
Just a few more




Event directors car wasn’t too shabby either

An FF (or a Lusso) with the registration MTU 1 just south of Nantwich this afternoon.

Hastily taken photo:

It was in the village parade along with a Roma and 488 on Sunday.

Damn, because it was raining virtually non-stop, I stayed at home in the dry! Only ventured out in the late afternoon when the parade was over, would have liked to see the cars, not so much the tractors!

Don't care. Still a large case of 'want' for me there!

I completely agree! On my lottery list as a grand touring option
