Supercars spotted, some rarities (Vol 4)

[CanadaEH]

Hey Yall,

This is my first post and after about a week and a bit of reading and looking at all these spotting posts, I think its about time I toss one out myself. I am from Canada so theres no way im gonna match up to these gnarly cars that congregate in London... but hell I will try.

I travelled to Europe this past spring (Netherlands, Belgium and France) so i will use my Pictures from this trip as my first post, hope you enjoy.

Volvo P1800 (not sure if rare over there but they certainly are over here and well it looks cool)


Lancia Fulvia (Once again not to familiar with, but sure a cool looking car)

Wierd Kit Car of sorts?


Saleen Mustang (American Tuning Company, must be rare overseas)

Each to their own. I think they look stunning.

That Maserati horrid?? Well, that's a first!

Welcome, CanadaEH. Great shots. Just FYI, I am fairly sure that is a DB6, not a DB5

Perception is a funny thing. I would call that the most beautiful looking car of the last decade!

Ok, slight cheat as it was a little photo session but you dont see many of these about.

That photo is evidence of possibly the worst example of a car design being instantly ruined by the anti pop-up headlight legislation. The Ferrari 512M is another.

I agree, although I think the 512M is in a different league of bad comapred to the NSX.

Love it! The facelift NSX looks great too... Not as handsome as the original, but still sharp looking 10 years after the facelift! Very rare too...

IMO they need that Type R hood and rear spoiler, suits it so well (the black and the white car):

I would personally always leave it standard, no mods what so ever although the type r spoiler does suit it.

I personally given the choice would always choose the facelift but they are both IMO absolutely stunning looking cars.

Indeed....Good job we all see things differently I guess otherwise we'd all be chasing the same woman

I see it as the wheel base too long and an elephant has sat on the bonnet and boot. Front wheel too far forward and don't like the way the side window dips down either (too tall)........apart from that its ok.

Also reminds me of the California which I also dislike with a passion.

Mind you the GT is a big step forward from the 3200 and 4200.......Oh and then there's the drive....good god.

Saw this in Hemel Hempstead two hours ago, really stood out but don't know what it was doing in this area at all! Really stunning though. Everyone who walked past it was taking pictures on phones.





Almost missed this while photographing the McLaren, an amazing red Sagaris- not spotted one before either.

When and whereabouts was this? I saw a nice blue NSX this afternoon near Gloucester-ish (A40) I think. Was quite tidy looking of course.

Also saw an MP4-12C on the A44 on Friday afternoon, 3 Morgans on the A40 near Monmouth (opened the window to hear them roar through the tunnel there) today, a 205GTi (with a cage and isolated/fire bottle handles etc, looked quite tidy) on the Black Mountain pass (today), and... that's pretty much it.
