Hi there,

If anyone happens to be in central Manchester over the next few weeks Bugatti Manchester have kindly popped a Bugatti Chiron Sport in a glass box for you to go and press your nose against.

Its one of 20 limited edition 'Les Legendes du Ciel' built as a tribute to the legendary French pilots including Louis Blériot

Stunning car, but a pain to photograph due to the reflections, even with a filter on the lense.

Now I've seen this done with a Lykan Hypersport somewhere...

The photos of the Bugatti above remind me of the times I had to visit Hunts Cross near Liverpool. On the retail park there was a similar glass box with a Triumph TR7 in for several years. I haven’t had the pleasure of going back for at least 15 years but I wonder if that is still there?

You wonder if its still there???

Liverpool................

Does this fit the bill? Aston Martin Rapide AMR at Newark Air Museum today. 4 door fun for the entire family.

If is still there, even in a glass box, my money's on that it'll need some bodywork.

Hi there,

Stopped at Leicester Forest East services on the way back from Sywell Aerodrome today and was greated by this pair







Weird to think my Biposto in the background is actually the rarest of the three cars :-)



The Enzo and Monza had been at the Ferrari Owners Club event but still good to see them out in the wild. My pics from the event are here for anyone interested. A few interesting car park spots.

When I first glanced at the top pic, I thought the black one was a boat!

Saw this rather lovely thing yesterday.

Heard it rumbling into the car park before I saw it.

Absolute thing of beauty and that colour just suits it perfectly.

Rare and utterly gorgeous, what a nice spot - and there's a near identical one for sale here....

(Only 125 Spyders were built and I'd guess just a handful were RHD)

12 RHD were built. Believed to be only 4 left today.

Is this a DB4? DVLA has it's colour listed as white but....

[LotusOmega375D]

Looks like a (short chassis) DB4 GT to me.

It is registered as a DB4.

What is it with Ferraris and central stripes at the moment? Seems to be a trend on every current model except the Roma?

I’ll never be able to afford one but I don’t get it.

The one above looks like something out of finding Nemo.

Is that Monza owned by an Aston Villa player or just a well off fan?

Hi there

Have a look at this video, it has not just a blue stripe but blue wheels also.

https://youtu.be/dvu5OfCskp8

Its owned by John Collins (of Talacrest) and is a homage to a classic Daytona livery

Somehow it doesn't look quite as bad in the video.
I'm sure the colours probably have some Ferrari racing heritage but it just looks a bit too close to Aston Villa...or West Ham if you are a southerner. team colours.
There was an infamous TVR Cerbera speced by a Lottery winning Villa fan in Claret exterior with a baby blue interior....it was a tricky 2nd hand seller.

Money. It costs tens of thousands of pounds to add a strip in a historic colour.Rolls royce with the pin stripe and lambo with the sv.
