Supercars spotted, some rarities (vol 7)

[Tre Zero]

I like the brown 458 and the Daytona in that light looks more bronze than brown but still lovely .

[swisstoni]

Daytona yes. 458 no.

[Spleen]

It's a 488 chaps, apologies for the adenoids.

A lovely Ferrari Dino came past mine earlier, heard it from a while away so was looking out to see what it was. Old boy driving it, it looked and sounded magical. Shame my pic of it is rather less than magical.

Have you aligned those stripes on either side of the path?

I might have, pleases my OCD if I’m honest!!

No, just interested in his collection. It's insane that he has warehouse after warehouse full of exactly the same cars - endless Merc S Classes and BMW 7er just rotting away, as well as the most incredible supercar unicorns like the McLaren F1 LMs.

I've seen one of his one off's out and about - the "CEX1" Rolls Royce - outside Asprey's on New Bond Street which was owned by his brother (Asprey's that is!).



Insane lifestyle - if you have some time, put the kettle on and read this....

Just catching up. FYI, the CEX1 Rolls was never anything to do with the Sultan, it was one of his children who resides in Mumbai. The car was designed and built by Dilip Chhabra and the son never took delivery of the car. Images of the completed car were sent to him and he said no thanks. It was then sold to another wealthy Mumbai resident who paid around half a million and brought it over to the UK. Half a million quid, for a 1995 Silver Seraph hack job.

Lol, love it!

Rather splendid and immaculate Aston Lagonda in Bath the other day. It turned significantly more heads than the new Aston DBS a few yards away.

It is the one and only I have ever seen in the flesh. I spent a good while walking around it and taking in the details. Just stunning and as for the cream leather interior, it just looked about the most comfy place to spend a journey.

Almost certainly ruinous to own...but probably still worth it...

I remember having a look round it in the basement car park of the new flats opposite Lords cricket ground in about 2010/11, covered in dust. Looked well finished and very ugly.

One of these drove past me in Newcastle in the 80's and pulled up to a roundabout. Sadly the Escort behind him didn't. The Escort stoved in the back of the AM. Me and a mate offered to be witnesses if he needed. When he'd gotten everyones numbers his day got even worse when he realised the AM had locked him out. The car was still there an hour later as we returned from our pub lunch.

Absolutely the right car to be wafting around somewhere like Bath

It literally looks like it was designed to be in a bond movie or in some type of fictional universe.
