Cars you have never seen in the flesh
Discussion
In my younger days, I often used to go out for a Sunday afternoon drive, and had a group of dealerships where there was always something rare on display.
Modena in East Horsley, Duncan Hamilton in Bagshot, Bramley's on the A281 in Bramley, Talacrest and Maranello.
Was always nice to see some rare stuff on display, like the odd 959 in Bramley, Daytona Spyder at Modena etc.
I saw most of the 80's and 90's supercars on these little excursions.
I only recently saw a Bugatti EB110 though, last weekend at Supervettera.
One remaining car that I have yet to see though, is an Aston One Seven Seven.
Rarest thing I have seen in the flesh though is an Alfa Romeo Disco Volante (the one in this article)

Given where I work and live I have seen pretty much everything, however I've still yet to see a Bugatti Veyron, any Koenigsegg (sp?), Spyker, Porsche 918 or Carrera GT.
Back in the day, I used to see McLaren F'1's quite regularly, they were tested in my local area as the factory was in the next town and I used to see P1's quite often too a few years back and I regularly see camouflaged McLaren's.
I've only ever seen a Porsche 959 on the road once.

If your anywhere near Sunningdale, Supervettera have a Spyker shoved out the back, in front of Mayback, next to the F40 Back in the day, I used to see McLaren F'1's quite regularly, they were tested in my local area as the factory was in the next town and I used to see P1's quite often too a few years back and I regularly see camouflaged McLaren's.

Perhaps* not worth the effort, and a search on Autotrader would no doubt find one locally to you if you were that bothered, but I pass one of these parked up on my commute in Cambs each day. I can, thankfully, cross it off my list.Re the XL1, Vindis Huntingdon had one in their showroom a short while ago, which a salesman was using. Had a good chat to him about it, but I didn't see it when I was there recently, so it may have moved on. Not pretty, but striking nonetheless.
The main ones I am yet to see in the 'wild' are F1, LaFerrari, Zonda and Huayra.

Veyron? This one stuck it's nose into a photo my Mrs took of me in a bike race a few years ago.
