Sounds feasible ,I never keep up with what they have for sale ,seems quite a few cars never go on display ,I don't look at

the website very often.

My mistake, it was Lusso Prestige who sold one recently - https://www.instagram.com/p/Brn6zlUBnDA/

More than likely the same car given that there are only a handful in the country

2 minutes on foot from my house as I pass the BP garage , a white LHD Lexus LFA pulls out of the side road by Romans
showroom ,I assume owner might have been browsing the delicious stock.

Iirc they sold that very recently so it could have been collected by the new owner today.

Wasnt picked up by the new owner from the showroom today as it was on Sloane St last night.

Not too much around London recently. Although this 550 does look very nice, they aged well didn't they.

Looks like a 575? Especially on a 54 plate.

First glance I thought it was a Marcos.

I know they divide opinion. But I have seen 3 different Lamborghini Urus in a suburb of Nottingham this week. 2 of them are in the same family (Father and Son who have always have the latest Lambos).

I’ll not lie. I think they’re bloody lovely. I’d have one if I had the means.

I saw a black Urus in birmingham today, heard it before i saw it.

Yup, my mistake as I said earlier -

Local station car park a bit earlier today

Yes, spotted that too when I dropped the missus off. There's often some nice bits and bobs in there and also over in the other one. Particularly in the season ticket holders spaces.

or the originally open front wing slashes on the TVR Sagaris. Except that's a self-own because all it does is cause chippings to break your own windscreen.

Rubbish, do try to get knowledge away from Top Gear drivel. As a Sagaris owner with the slats cut out, I can assure you this isn't the case. Just like it's not the case for all road cars with cut slats, from Moslers to McLarens.

I am sure it doesn't chip screens, but lots of crap comes out through them. Had a chat with a Mosler owner on that specific point at Caring with Cars a few years ago.

To be fair, if you were to straigthen some of the curves on the Marcos and add a couple of creases, you'd get Ferrari's current design language.

I’m sure that guy is/was a PHer and usually parked on the curves (when you were allowed) on the Friday of Le Mans weekend.

Those alloys would look fantastic on a Griffith.

Wasn’t there a fundamental flaw in the chassis design of these?

Such as?

Cant remember, read something on PH once about it.

One of the 2,500 Pajero Evo in the snowfields of Niseko...

Love these and wanted to buy one to use as my snowboarding car

Dealer in the UK did not email service history after we spoke via phone and the guy I asked about doing a PPI did not reply - I figured it might be a sign, so still don’t own one

also the only manual one - the one I wanted to buy - has been for sale for ages, which does not fill me with a lot of confidence re quality of the car

Probably revisit again next winter ....

I spotted an old Rolls Royce (Phantom??) registration RYL 99R whilst in Kensington last week.

According to the MOT history, it's only done 6k miles in the past 10 years. So I guess it's a bit of a rarity although there's images of it on Google at a Royal Wedding

No picture this time as it was in a road where photography isn't allowed

Sand during heavy rain, that's your lot...

From Blown2CV's post.....were the slots originally open and then closed off on later cars to prevent the stuff being chucked through

by the front tyres ?
