Supercars spotted, some rarities (vol 7)

[Benmac]

Oh cripes that Virage is awful. It's the "integration" of the rear window that ruins it. I wonder what that's originally from.

I can recall seeing one once but the back end was like this one. Much better.

Unlikely "cars that share rear lights"...

How about the 9th Road going Ferrari made? Also the oldest in the UK and the oldest regularly used on the road.

I've seen quite a few stretched Granadas over the years (mostly built by Coleman-Milne) and usually in banger races at Wimbledon or Arena Essex!

Which may explain why there aren't too many left.

The wheels on that 250 GTE are a clue as to what’s under the bonnet.

A spare wheel ?

[LotusOmega375D]

It’s a 250 GT Pininfarina coupe, not a GTE. I believe it has a Chevrolet V8 under the bonnet. It was at Chateau Impney hill climb a year or two ago.

Well the DVLA still think it's 2953cc.......

[NomduJour]

Yeah, it is - of course - a 250 Coupe PF, and has had a small block Chevy for longer than its original V12.

[Fermit and Sexy Sarah]

Hopefully not cheating, I worked on this rather lovely Vanquish convertible today.

You don’t think these are rare?

[SydneyBridge]

There are 75 MG Maestro, of all varieties, left in the UK. So very rare

Seems you didn't

I'm sick of posters coming in and bothering to complain that a car isn't a Supercar, thereby missing the point, that the thread is fairly open in it's criteria!

But surely only 80 were ever sold back in the day when you could have had a 205 GTi, Golf GTi, XR3/i or just about anything else so pretty good preservation

Lovely black F12 in Jesmond Dene this morning next to an F Type (sorry, couldn’t get a picture).

Registration was F12 GUY ...I’m too frightened to post it on the real good reg thread, ha!

More interesting that seeing yet another Lambo / Ferrari / Porker. Working in the West End of London, that's all you see - at least an MG Maestro is a bit different.

Yes. It’s welcome here.
That’s that!

Literally can’t remember the last time I saw a badged MG, let alone a Maestro. Must be rarer than a working Speak & Spell.

Ironically there's 2 in the area, spotted one on the A34 nearby a week or so ago

Unfortunately she was in charge of getting a pic

Spotted this the other day. Nice old beast.
