I vistited the Mille Miglia Museum on 29th June, and this Bentley was on display then. Looks like its getting some good use. Great to see it being enjoyed.

Interesting, saw this a while ago in Soho wearing different wheels. Or, should I say, rimz.

At my cousins wedding the girls side!

Fit and finsh was certainly lacking! Probably on it's 50th replacement clutch as well!

Ha, really!? Funny.

Re the noise, my Bro was there (one of his mates had an entry in the concours) and he usually says mine is loud/nice... he made a point of saying mine sounded gash compared to the Ferrari's!

Infairness, there were some superd sounding cars. 355's for me....very special.
Tell him he does not know what he is on about hehe

Nice two-for-one there. Wonder if the Aston is owned by a cleaner-done-good.

Cheating really I guess as most of these are from when I was in Monaco...

But I have only included the more special cars IMO, and only ones on the road (saw enzos etc in showrooms) Its funny that a 'standard' F430/458/Murcielago etc can get boring when you see so many in one place...

Anyway,

Having never seen one on the road before I was very happy to see a lovely Diablo.





Fisker Karma, there were a couple, both in this colour... I really like this



Lovely Ferrari 330 GT (I think?) could smell the leather from outside!





I have never seen a Z8 on the roads. Here we saw 4!!



Any ideas if this is the genuine Alpina model or if it just wearing the alloys? I love these anyway.



Beautiful Merc, I'm afraid my knowledge isn't good on these though!



Very very nice 356 speedster... Is it original? I'm not sure... But it did look well used and wasn't immaculate at all. Also had some clutch judder trying to get up the hill! Really nice whether its genuine or replica.



first 458 spyder I have seen on the roads



some Porsches who were on a rally (rico rally) happened to stop at the same services as us just outside Montpellier, we were in the 964 targa, so had to pose for a photo!



And a moving over the bonnet shot

This isn't extremely exotic or rare, but I like the shot...

I'd say rare and a bit exotic. I've yet to see one - not that I'm the measure of rarity value!

Top work Michael. You seem to have identified them well too - the Arnage particularly.

Thanks smile

I learnt from looking at other pictures and advice on here and on researching Google.

The Bentley I found out on Wikipedia "In September 2008, it was announced that Arnage production would cease in 2009, once a final run of 150 "Final Series" models has been completed."

As this one was a 59 plate it would of been made in the 150 Final Series Models

Many Thanks

Michael

Well done! Loads of nice cars in London. smile

Although with car facts like that, I may lose the title of 'PH Car Geek' which I still have yet to decide if it is a good nickname to have. Haha! scratchchin

That Fisker Karma is a good looking car but I found the interior to be very cramped for its size. It is also a very heavy car. Was ready to buy one, but didn't. I spotted a lime green Aventador on San Francisco streets the other day. Sadly could not get my camera out in time.
