The joy of spotting rarities
Discussion
Pulling up to the pub the other night my lights swept across this little beauty and memories of childhood 'automotive heroes' came flooding back.
Used to love seeing cars like this, they were so far above their humdrum donors and seeing one on the road was a real event. Turns out it belongs to the landlord and we geeked about cars for quite some time and he informed me that there are just 22 XR4is left on the road in the UK.
What rarities have you seen that immediately wound the clock back for you?

I understand only a handful of these have been registered in the UK, most of them with MG themselves!
Has someone been brave and actually bought one?

That's funny, stumbling home pissed a few weeks ago, I found myself at the local bus station. With it being 4am on a Saturday night/Sun Morning there were various Arriva 'helpers' dotted around the place, they park their cars in the bus stops so they can keep an eye on them while they're working.

One of them was a mint - eat your dinner off it - XR4x4. Ended up chatting to the fella for an hour or so, missed all my buses and had to get a friend out of bed to come pick me up

I cant remember the last time I had to read the badge to know what a car was.
