Maxi Jazz of Faithless fame in his RS 2000:

I actually seem to remember a video with him and an Escort RS Cosworth but can't see to find that one
He used to race a Marcos toohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRIpZ4uy5X4

I'm a slave to your outrage
Rocket rocks stiff shocks and a roll cage
Color-coded alloys, much noise, spoilers are poised
Exhaust note to make me wait for old age, yes, yes
Who got the keys to my RS
As we goin' on a road test, hit the M4 and head west
Forever impressed with the sound of my two liter
We cover ground, engine singin' like Anita Baker
And if I take a corner too quick you get sick
When I do my handbrake trick, watch me ride
My broadside's wide like a battleship
Side, slip, push, only hip, stick it in gear and give the gas a flick
It never failed to bring a grin to the limb
Baby's equipped me and she gone clear
I got quick reduction on my under steer
I've been fairly and squarely described as hairy
People say my baby is scary
Look, you pays your money and you takes your choice
I just love to hear my baby's voice
She's my baby
Rod, the Miura and a Royce:
Keith Moon and a selection of cars, including a damaged Dino stage front:
"The story goes that ‘Moon the Loon’ was enjoying a midsummer pint when three youths began admiring his brand-new Dino 246. Without hesitation, he handed over the keys and instructed them to “have a spin in her”, but when they (perhaps inevitably?) failed to return, Moon walked home only to find his car embedded in a ditch along the way. Reminded of the rashness of his decision (and the resulting voided insurance policy) by his drinking partner that day, Moon is said to have replied, “It’s only money, who cares?” But the embarrassed grin on his face while surveying the damage suggests the said ‘who’ was, in fact, none other than Moon himself…"

Marc Bolan in Gloria Jones's 1275GT:
In which he ultimately died:
Sonny and Cher with a pair of odd George Barris custom Mustangs:
Debbie Harry and her biffed motor:
HRH Pricness Anne in one of her many Scimitars:

Liam Howlett from the Prodigy posted here a while back talking about his Mclaren F1 and he might have had a Ferrari F40 as well but my memory is bad.
IIRC, he discussed (sadly briefly) his:Mclaren F1
Pagani Zonda
F40 (which he sold to Keith Flint, who crashed it into a tree)
AC Cobra
He had a thing for American Muscle cars and was going through the purchase of a Dodge Charger I think.
I remember reading an article in the early nineties about Bryan Adams and his custom Special Vehicles Land Rover called VOD100, which was short for Vehicle Of Doom, 100" wheelbase. It was a "greatest hits" (no pun intended) of Defender, Discovery and Range Rover parts.
There was also a mahoosive stereo, that was apparently at the insistence of his friend at Land Rover as he wasn't that fussed.

Joanna Lumley had a Ferrari 328 GTS which she auctioned off for the Born Free Foundation

She was once asked:
Mayor for a day. What would you do?
Take away every single speed bump. They’re ghastly. I had to sell my Ferrari because of them!

Keith's first Bentley 'The Blue Lena' which he bought new in 1966, if only it could talk...
Recently restored and sold for £760k...It was originally ordered by a Mr. Mason, who cancelled the order after it turned up at H R Owen in Mayfair, which is where Keith bought it from. He kept it 'til 1978, by which time it had been battered and repaired fairly often (wonder why?
) but replaced it with another example of the same model.
On a different note, Byrds singer Gene Clark owned a Ferrari 250 Europa GT, which was incredibly rare even when it was new; does anyone know where it went?
