B18 RAW is the only F40 I’ve seen on the road around 10 years ago. It’s been seen in Alderley Edge this weekend too.

I saw it at Le Mans a few years ago with two other F40s - it had shattered both front light lenses on the trip down, and the front end was covered in "sticky backed plastic"! Great to see it being used though.

I saw the same convoy south of Alencon in 2003 as we were heading to Le Mans. They weren’t hanging around and a great sight to see them being driven as they should and not garage queens.

Next door (to my parents) 512BB. This was my first supercar experience, aged six. It is largely responsible for my love of cars. I am so glad they never sold it - haven't seen it in nearly 15 years! Was so nice to chat to them about the car this afternoon, over the fence.

Sounded amazing as it took off down the road.

Possibly the worst ‘spot’ ever, I was slow was the camera - a pair of 70’s Porsche’s in Morton in Marsh - one with the number plate TOY 84 - crap pic -

Did you “spot” it or “paint” it?

WHY would you lend TopGear your car? evo I can understand...those guys know how to pedal. But the TG twits? (Harris excepted) - no way would anything of mine go near that pair of oversized egos.
The husband of a colleague of mine owned the Supra that Paddy drove in that incredibly annoying homage to the Supra in the last season of Top Gear. Like you said, I felt he was a brave man letting him drive it!

A beautiful car from a Ferrari era when people were more interested in the car rather than the mileage it was showing on the odometer

No, its not 2manycars, he was about in his Vanquish Zagato Volante though...


The CCXR owner has an impressive collection too, the purple 600LT Spyder i posted a few pages back, F40, P1, 275 GTB and and Enzo. Its the only RHD CCXR Edition out of the 4 produced.

Blimey, it looks like the outside of Harrods from 10 years back with all those mini-paps about!

Mezzanine - yes it was v busy, i think a lot of people came out because it was the first sunny day for a while, a resident once said it was like "sloane street of the north"
will_ - yeah he's based around alderely edge, his cars are very rarely seen and when they appear they're all over the country

Totally agree. Who the hell could look at that C pillar and think "yep, that's great, job done"?!!

I genuinely like them, in an ugly way of course.

I think I'm right in saying the car looks like it does - or rather, the sheer size - was a miscommunication over the phone with Bristol and Zagato (who made the bodies) in Italy.

Bristol fans call them the 'Fridge Freezer'
