Why no rear plate on either the SLR or Diablo?

Slightly cheating as we were getting them ready for photography, I just thought this photo looked funny.

Not overly rare, but the most beautiful Ferrari ever made (Enzo). Saw it trundling away from the Silverstone Classic this afternoon.

They only made 400 (399 + 1 for Pope JPII) so hardly 10 a penny!

Also it's a very striking design that's ages well, but hardly beautiful.

Get me a 250 GT SWB Competizione anyday.

A few from Tokyo this weekend...

How many of the cars being posted in this thread actually qualify as: "Supercars"?

There's no problem with the McLaren's, Ferrari's, Lamborghini's, Zonda's and such like, but John Lennon's psychedelic Rolls Royce?, a Renault Clio V6 Sport?, the new Rolls Royce Phantom?, an Alpina 6 series?, a cartoon-modified 4x4?, an Alpina 3 series?, A BMW Z1?, a 1970's Audi Coupe S?, a MK1 VW Golf Citi? etc., etc., etc.

Some of them are fast cars, some of them are classic cars, and some of them are expensive cars, but they're most definitely not: "Supercars"!

So twice as common as a Sagaris then...

Had the XJ220 van blast past me up the inside lane en route to silverstone yesterday.
I thought is was just a white van man nutter until I saw the centre lock wheels & massive Tyres ( was trying to catch upto the 2 xj220's in convoy in front of us.
Sounded epic too.
Whoever was driving, you made my year seeing that van belting past, awesome.

I suppose it's been a few pages since the last time this tedious subject has come up.
You can always scroll past, we won't be offended.
