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?
Koenig Competition

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

Sadly, quite a lot of the cars they converted were little more than the wide body kit and a loud exhaust.

No photo, sadly, but a fleeting glance of an F12 N-Largo heading towards Malvern last night, a bit of a surprise in the normal mundane commuter traffic!

Not sure if there was some rule change in Japan 2-3 years ago - but suddenly loads of Koenig cars turned up in the UK
I've got photos of 4 512 Koenig cars from one day of visiting dealers back in Nov 2016 - all Japanese imports which as usual had no history

This was red and black, much the same as the one Amari had for sale recently. I think it looked brilliant.

Spotted or one for the knob thread?

Saw Bentley tarted up by Masonry on the M4 this week. No photos, but a quick Google suggests it was the "GT Race" version of their tasteless range.

Driven like you would expect, poorly. Sat in lane 3, when clear on the left. I got fed up and passed on the left, look over and he's on his phone.

wker.

Google reckons its a Zenvo St, but it isn't . Looks almost like a heavily modified Nissan Gtr

No rule change; most likely exchange rates. I have a friend in Tokyo who was exporting Ferrari to Europe at that time. Mostly to Germany (LHD, kms) for the more modern cars, but also the UK and elsewhere for rarer cars.

The strengthening of the yen in recent years (compared to where it was) has made the trade less profitable.

Also at The Berkeley, at the same time as the Chiron and 918, but getting less attention....
