Fleeting glimpse but I think one of these in light blue and RHD was spotted by me in Stubbington, Hamshire yesterday!

I was driving - hence no pics. Anyone know of it?

A beautiful pale silver blue DB11 has just dropped off a neighbour of ours, it's becoming a regular occurance at weekends, the lucky young bloke driving it has a permenant smirk on his face. Bravo.
Is your neighbour hot tho?

Does this count as a rarity?

Yes, she is. Which probably accounts for the smirk!

I am sure it was one of those - but RHD? I don't know about classic Ferraris. I was hoping someone here might know it!

I probably need to get a dashcam - and get some stills from the video.

There is a bright yellow Lambo knocking about Gosport/Lee-On-The-Solent too. Constantly failing to snap that too!

the emotional jarring between the ferrari and the corsa was significant.

Not sure I'd let a teenager at my dashboard - or am I being unfair?
Perhaps - IIRC the in car audio of that sort of vintage Ferrari was an essentially off the shelf Sony with a little Ferrari badge on it, so standard extractor tool and wiring plugs for a straight swap (possibly with an adaptor)... Potentially more straightforward than a Vauxhall of the day?

There's a similar car doing the rounds of the number plate threads, silver or possibly light metallic blue, wearing "F250 CAL" or something like it. I think that's RHD, and the plate doesn't belong to it.

Funnily enough, and fortunately, that's the main reason I'm thinking about getting one.

I was under the impression the reason for spending the summer in London was purely to avoid the heat, and had nothing to do with Ramadan.

i think it does have something to do with the timing of Ramadan, because that religious period moves throughout the year.

Not entirely sure what this is but it sounded gorgeous and looked a lot wider in real life than it looks in the pictures! Possibly a Koenig Testerossa?

These were racing when my dad first took us to spectate at motor raced in the Sixties. Gadzooks they raced them hard. Bumping into other as they slipstreamed on the straights. Happy days.

Koenig Competition

Typically sports an F40-style rear wing which is missing on this example.
Engine options included a 1000hp twin-turbo variant.
