Good to see this thread still going well.
Great shots from Tokyo, Andy.
I don't normally see much here in Korea, but a recent trip to Seoul yielded a few nice cars.

Finally, a sneaky shot of the British Ambassador's Jaguar XJ8 Limousine. He couldn't have anything else really hehe

That's actually the big brother of the B3 2.7... the B6 3.5.
It's believed to be the only example in the UK.
Cheers, you're right. smile I just wish I had taken a few more shots of it now. I only took 3, all from the same angle. I was spot on with the "rarities" part of the thread title! hehe

In Rome, in the early 80s he had a De Tomaso Deauville! Nice to see a home-grown runabout in use over there, though.

Sorry no picture, i'd be too embarassed if i was caught;

'Hey what do you think you're doing?'
"Taking a picture of your car so i can put it on the internet or course!"

Anyway, today in Nantwich i saw an Aston Martin Cygnet. In Morrisons car park, hmmph, i wonder why they weren't shopping in Sainsburys?

Apologies for terrible pic quality but spotted this Rothmans-liveried early '80s 911 on my way to work this morning:

I hope that on your walk home that it's still there, and you manage to get a closer photo wink

In London on Sunday...I think everybody can identify where it is with the Mondial in the back!





Attracted an awful lot of attention.

Perhaps I'm being a wimp, but that's the mews at the back of Maggie Thatcher's house, which is under 24 hour armed police guard, and they look suspicously enough at you when you walk past, so I didn't feel quite like going down there waving a camera about.

I normally can't be arsed to take pictures of cars seen in London, but this one was really special. I thought I knew a lot about cars but have never seen it before, first I thought it's a Subaru SVX with some silly bodykit.

I could also post in great licence plates thread.

A plate check simply comes back as a Vantage Zagato, first registered 18/01/88 (5340cc btw)

I rather like it..

Ah, thanks. I didn't make myself clear - I knew what it was after I came closer, it had it written literally everywhere smile

Casting no aspersions on you, mate, but people on here constantly amaze me. Maybe it's a generational thing but I would know what that was from 100 yards away if I only saw a third of the rear view and the rest was blocked by other cars. ETA, in you defence, they re quite rare.
