Unsure what was hiding under here?

Looks like a 308 GT4 to me.

It's not a GT4 as there would be body lines near the sill... And the rear bumper light is different too.

Anyone?

I'd suggest it is, as everything visible apart from the secondary sills, is GT4, for example the tow hook visible, with the exception of the paint finish, is identical to this one

I see you point - though I have never seen a GT4 with side sills under the door, which is why I'm not sure it is a GT4... Anyway I'm not an expert LOL.

I dislike not providing photos but I've just seen a white Aventador on a JK11 plate (I THINK) in Oakenshaw in Bradford. Very unusual spot for round here. Had to do a double take and nearly rear ended someone.

I know it's exciting but try to control yourself!

Okay, so I guess an LP640 Roadster isn't too rare, but a friend came across this one in Miami recently, sans wheels, on breeze blocks. Can only guess that the wheels had been stolen!

How rude! Imagine waking up to that. Great shot though.

Customer of mine txt me today to say a "special car was being delivered"





He's also got an order for another with the Nurburgring pack coming next year

That is stunning.

Destined to be an unloved supercar the LF-A but I really, really like it.

Found the crazy foiled arab FF!

Well it's already hideously ugly, might as well add a terrible wrap to complete the job.

How thoughtful, they've left the wheel bolts behind.

RX04 XXG

Just a standard reg plate. What's to work out?

Sorry, assumed knowledge on my part.

The '04' of a UK registration suggests the car is registered between 1st March 31st Aug 2004.

The Maserati GT came out in 2007, the GT-S in 2008.

Therefore, unless this car is a prototype, which I doubt, its had that plate transfered on to it which suggests it has meaning. That may be personal to the owner, or of relevance to the car....I dont know, like the engine is called an XXG, or the prottype was called the RX04XX or something. Theres some superb knowledge on here so wondered if anyone knew.

I understand what you mean - the first AM Rapide I saw had an 04 plate and I thought that was odd.

Unfortunately I can't help you further!

we deal with quite a few high end people who want to keep their numbers from when they started making money - they see them as good luck charms....

Interesting. I do remember hearing a tale a few years back of a company boss who bought a new car, the newer model of his current car in exactly the same colour/spec and chose to transfer his normal, older plate so as not to look flash.

Not sure it would fool too many petrolheads, but that was his theory.

The white one spotted back in May was the only RHD originally, but now they've made a few more. Don't know the exact number but I think we're talking 3-4.

Head to http://www.astonone-77.com/ for a whole lot more info about One-77s

Intersting. A sure fire classic in years to come? With India growing in wealth, there's a market for when things go totally belly up over here

WANT. At the moment it is the car I would to to see, and more importantly hear (properly) on the roads, I saw the blue press car at Goodwood which was in a very nice blue. Didn't really get to here it though
