The Valve guy sounds like the chap I used to chat to. He had a DB4 GT Zagato a long time ago. Hopefully he still has. Lovely chap who showed me zero snobbery despite me being in a Westfield and him in a twin supercharged Aston.
Google suggests you are right and still in his collection, your description of him sounds right from my experience, he's often at Oulton Park in one of his collection and will chat to everyone and anyone all day. I believe his in the top three 'Motoring rich list' in the UK these days too, but he uses all his cars (not his collection of planes/trains or boats though).

That's really good to hear. I wish I'd chatted with him more but I don't live near him now.

This appeared the other day in Harrogate, must get back there to do some spotting as not far from my uni.
Absolutely love balloon white on a Lambo

It's not till you see one parked up with a load of average cars rather than on some promotional photoshoot by itself that you realise how utterly, brilliantly, ridiculous Lambos are.

What a wonderfully silly machine.

Absolutely; even in ordinary guise, the Aventador has an incredible road presence.

The sillier the colour the better!

We had two SVJs at Donington this week. Even in a race paddock they look absolutely outrageous.

Spotted this SVJ63 and a few more nice things leaving Donington in October, this colour just looks right on a Lambo. Plate was MAX 1T, which used to be on a Reventon Roadster

The other say I spotted Ferrari 250 GTO. Like. 24/7/365 car show.

Lamborghini Huracan Performante.







Ferrari 458 Italia.




Both spotted in Shirley, Solihull.

Earlier, in Kings Heath, I saw a 911 (930) Turbo & an NSX, a little later i saw a Bugatti Chiron with the driver, 'Lord Alem' I believe, acting like a cock & on the M5 tonight I drove past a pearlescent white Ferrari 812 Superfast (I think) being towed on a trailer!!!

It's not getting any less ugly with exposure, is it?

I like how reserved the Reventon looks now compared with the modern Lambos, it looked absolutely savage in 2006/2007 now it looks understated and I like that.

What is it?

I'm assuming some sort of butchered Mclaren, but was it a Senna before he got hold of it, or something else?

I think it’s that one that looks worse than the Senna which they offloaded in the US?

I cannot even remember the name.

ETA: McLaren Sabre...

It looks like it’s had a front end collision with those weird panel gaps.

I saw a dark green Senna on the M40 a few months ago, and I thought it looked brilliant.
