Do you have something special or unique about your car.

Ill start, my ITR DC2 UKDM is chassis number 1. Always a good talking point!
Oh so someone actually bought #1? It'd been for sale for a while wink

My Z4M doesn't have anything unique about it really...it doesn't need to. It's awesome anyway.

Mine was first registered on the same day in 1990 that I bought my house, and it shares its birthday with a good friend of mine who is a fan of the older Porsches.

The driver. Everyone keeps telling me I'm very special.

It's an MX-5. Everything about it is special.

It's red, the rarest colour out of that edition.

It is faster than it looks, 232bhp/ton in a FWD hatchback isn't too bad.

My car was once owned by Tom Jones.

And not in the biblical sense either

When you turn the steering wheel on my Prelude all the wheels move. Dunno why it never caught on.
When it was in the UK my XJS had a number plate with only the figure '1' and some letters. Must have been worth more than the car.

Pretty much entirely original black Rallye. One of only 100 produced (in black) and must be one of only a handful left which haven't been slammed or turned into track slags. Of course when I get a sensible everyday car I intend to keep it, slam it, cage it and use it as a winter track slag...

My 997 has a rear wiper, somewhat rare on 911s. Interestingly it's been specced with just a "Carrera" badge, whereas it's a Carrera S. It's not like somebody stole the S either, as the Carrera is directly in the middle of the rear bumper. My car was specced with almost everything (except carbon-ceramic brakes) so it seems strange to badge it as a simple Carrera - never mind.

My old Mondeo ST220 was used in an attempted bank robbery and was once caught full of drugs at the Dover port. Ironically, it was also once an unmarked fast response vehicle for West Mercia!
I assume you ony found this out after you paid for it!
