That is just so good-looking, it hurts!

The likes of the E type and the Ferrari GTO250 are beautiful cars for example but for me the Muira looks wise just blows them clean out of the water absolutely stunning @ every angle

The above view is indeed "stunning".
But imvho the front 3/4 view is ruined by 'the gap' - ie, where the front wheels' track-width is much narrower than the width of the wheel-arches, which makes it look knock-kneed. (Ditto the E-type.)
Surprised nobody's devised a fix, as per Eagle's for the E-type.

I agree, but its indeed also a lovely design.

about the wheel/fender gaps, Wiesmann is one of the best with that, though this one is a few cm higher than most, you can see what I mean, they have a great stance from factory.

Why do people think every car must have wheels that completely fill the arch all the time? The ride on that thing above will be rock hard you can promise.

The original look of the E-type with the wheels tucked in under the arch is great and ‘of its time’ … not everyone wants to drive a car from that era with modern components, wider wheels etc. can you tell I’m bored by restomods (and I built one, soon sold).



Perfect!

Just up the road from Joe Macari Ferrari service centre.

nice spot, but what does such plate over a plate mean? a dealer plate?

[bolidemichael]

Yes, probably for sale or on a test drive.

A rare Reliant Kitten on Sunday at a pub near me. I wondered who was there first.

I've added it to the cr4ppy plates thread too, the Audi is just tragic.

Yes, they're known as Trade Plates, used by dealers / workshops etc when a car isn't currently taxed for use on a public road.

Technically, that Dino is breaking the law: you're not supposed to cover up the real number plates with the trade plates.

Blue?

A blue one on a "D" was mentioned in the Essex & Kent Spotted forum last week - I assume it's the same one.

Hopefully it's local & I'll get to see it.
