Supercars spotted, some rarities (vol 7)

[SydneyBridge]

I have to say amazing spot but an insult to the original.
Will see if clarkson reviews it for the Sunday times

[originals]

Give me an Ultimae over that any day.

It's not a supercar, nor is it rare but they say a picture speaks a thousand words (saw it in Cambridge yesterday)

Always had a soft spot for this shape CL, can’t recall the last time I saw a V12. Spotted in work’s car park, didn’t think we were paid enough to keep one of these running…


Shirley the bork-factor on these is getting high by now?

Me too!

I saw a KLEEMAN kitted one last week, never really heard of that before. I figured that if you're going to pick an obscure kit maker / tuner etc, it's probably a real thing (not like the BRABUS badged Mk1 SLK I saw yesterday that was definitely not a BRABUS SLK!! It had the words & black B on the boot though lol!

Lamborghini LPI 800-4 'Countach' in Bicester yesterday!

Awful.

Yeah not a fan either. Looks ok from behind but the front end proportions just don’t work for me.

What is with everyone putting tarp down beneath their car? Not seen that before.

To catch the engine sweat from all the old horses?

(Avoid oil stains on the promenade?)

That had been my guess too but seemed remarkably selfless and organised! Fair play, particularly if its not mandated by the council.

It is a common regulation in historic rallies (with the threat of penalties for competitors in breach)

Interesting - every day is a school day. Many thanks for the info.

It's a regulation on every rally these days. Servicing in the arse end of Keilder on gravel, ground sheet and spill kit. Not sure how you are supposed to mop up fluid off gravel with a spill kit but if you don't have them you're excluded.

Fabulous spot! Christ that just looks a mess to me though.

Bloody hell

I didn’t like the idea of it but the reality is truly awful when the two source cars are utterly magnificent looking.

It looks like a worse version of the James Bond underwater Lotus. Shame on you Lambo.

[blueg33]

I quite like it but not sure about white

Still a shed-load better looking than an 'anniversary'.. that really was an exercise in how to ruin a good looking car!

Well bugger me! I blindly walked past that and admired the 5’er next to it whilst waiting for my car to be fixed. I thought it was something special from the nose, but I’m not hot on modern cars so just left it. Surprised I’m not In the background of your photos

Would have been nice to see Clarkson get into it

It remind me of those fake Lambos some guy in China was knocking out a few years ago

Too big for a GT40 certainly.
