N One car I’ve heard of, but never seen, were some special red mark 1 Escort RS Turbos, which legend has it, were produced for some sort of marketing / publicity campaign, with the Royal Mail.

Vauxhall Adam.
Seem to remember the tv / poster adverts etc so they obviously through some launch money at it..
Don’t think I’ve ever seen one.
Not sure if it’s even still in production?

Most of these cars exist, but don't go out too often!

4 or 5 years ago I went to a PH meet and saw a Vauxhall LC parked next to an Alfa GTV that was next to an Escort Cosworth!



I never realised Lexus made an LC, and wouldn't want one anyway!

The new supra, tons of publicity online and in mags but I’m still not entirely sure it exists having no visual proof smile
Same here
They do exist - I saw one in October at a Classic Car meet in Ockham, Surrey.

Looks fantastic too! But I never managed to catch up with the owner.

Also never seen the new Supra, however saw a lovely LC parked in the light car park in Leeds the other week.

I had never seen an E-Pace on UK roads, however after a recent trip to Norway I saw more within a 30min period than I probably will in a year in the UK.

Never seen a Zonda in the flesh, probably one of my favourite ever cars (from the pictures and videos anyway...)

Where the hell have you been? I must see multiple, daily... Hell, my girlfriend has one and my Mum used to have an Adam S hehe

But no, they're no longer in production.

VW arteon
Lexus LC

Are two that don’t appear very popular- any others? (And yes I’m bored!)
The Arteon is very common near me. Think I may have only seen 2 or 3 LC's though. First time I had to search and find out what it was. Lovely looking thing
I'm sure they were on super cheap leases for a while akin to the £250 Golf R leases from a couple of years ago.

Latest Aston Martin Vantage. Still haven't seen one in the wild.
How would you know? Don’t all Aston Martins looks like stretched and squished variations on the DB9 anyway?

If you want to see a new Supra, look for a Z4M, and squint a bit.

Since owning one we have never seen another Up! GTi on the road. Couple parked up but never encountered another on the move....
