The rarest car I've seen in a while...
Discussion
Spotted in a shopping centre carpark in North Tyneside earlier tonight - a car I've not seen the like of in a LONG time and which the HowManyLeft site suggests is down to just a couple per variant
Looking something like this
A Mazda 929 from 85/86ish (this one on a C plate)
Looking quite tidy too with all the Chrome in-place - it was raining so I couldn't really nose around it too much and it was far too dark for pics but it's not often you see a 25/6-year-old car in-use on a wet and windy evening - warms the cockles of your petrolhead heart!
Gratz to the owner I reckon - so what have you seen which is that rare then? I mean a Veyron or Enzo would be less rare!

ever so slightly cheating, but this is the rarest car I have seen recently:
Ferrari 312P. I think only 2 exist. After boycotting sports car racing in 1968 to protest a rule change that also banned their 4-litre 330 P4, Ferrari built a 3000cc prototype in 1969, the 312P. It was hardly more than a 3-litre F1 Ferrari 312 with open Barchetta, and later the closed top Berlinetta.
This is way rarer than the 250 GTO, 250 LM and 39 other Ferrari rarities parked up by it...
And on a more realistic, "on the road", yesterday evening I saw a mint, bright yellow, Mitsubishi Colt, like this:

Oooooh, I know the Mazda 929 very well. Some friends and I bought one for £62 from Ebay and drove it on the Staples2Naples banger rally a few years ago.
Here it is in action.
We were really sad to leave it in the scrapyard at the end, despite the fact it was pretty much finished. It managed to hang on valiantly for the entire journey including crossing the Alps and I still like to imagine it's still driving round Naples, paintjob intact
