Yeah but quite rare in our area.

Not going to mention visits to Goodwood, Brooklands etc, but stuff I've seen in the wild over the years, mostly around Berkshire & Hampshire:

Black Enzo going the other way on the A303.
White Countach QV giving it beans past Middle Wallop.
Overtaken by a red F40 in Newbury.
Red 288GTO, Wiesmann Roadster, Zonda, Ultima Spyder, Spyker Aileron, DB5 and a GT40 at various times on the A34.
Bugatti EB110, Alfa 8C getting their shopping in Newbury Tesco.
Original NSX power-oversteering off a roundabout in Theale.
Ferrari 250 GT getting petrol at the garage opposite my house! Thruxton was 2 miles away....
Some utterly mad '50s single-seater racer on the public road near Fareham with driver sawing frantically at the wheel mid-corner.

Now I'm in Lincolnshire I just see the odd tractor.

I've also seen a Wiesmann Roadster but it was in Düsseldorf. I'm pretty sure I have a photo somewhere, taken on a candy bar phone.

I saw a Bentley Supersport Ice Speed Racer yesterday. They only made 100 and most of them are abroad.

It's lovely to see that car being used. Enzo would be proud.

Having racked my brains over a few days I would guess the rarest car I ever saw was a replica, although admittedly a very, very incredibly good one. It was the Tom Wheatcroft commissioned Bugatti Royale Coupe Napoleon; it was in a showroom as a favour and although not allowed to sit in it I spent a good hour with the staff poring over the incredible details and sheer size of it.

When a real Bugatti Royale required a replacement piston a few years later they went to the company that had made this replica, so exacting was their work.
