Spotted: London Sat 3rd March

[LittleBro]

Chaps, check these out....went for lunch on the Kings Rd yesterday, then for a beer up in Knightsbridge....saw this pleathora.....any one on here??

Registrations might not be 100% but should be close

V12BLM - Grigio 550 on Kings Rd around 14.00. Sounded awesome, tubi'd perhaps?

RX07BXR - Black 430 Spider, around 4.15 Kings Rd.

10 mins later, all at the same junction but oddly heading in different directions;

RKS1M- 308 GT4 in Silver
LF06*** - Dark Grey 430
V5LAK - Red 360

B1CEP on a Orange Murci. Sounded awesome, up near Sloane Sq around 17.00


1FTF - Blue 612 Scag, driving around and then parked up in the back streets of W3, West London

At the same time, saw a beautiful sounding 355 Spider, LHD, Black/Black, P43***

LE03PBX - Black/Black 360 Spider parked behind Harrods. I guess this was around 17.30.

HT02*** - Grigio 360 Spider, LHD in traffic near Harrods.

Swiss registered Black/Black 612 Scag....in traffic near Harrods.

V3MFP - Black/Black 575....in traffic near Harrods (all three seen in the space of 5 mins).

RX06CMK - Red 430 driving up Picadilly around 7.20...sounded awesome....

THEN, and this was my favourite. Came out of a pub on Charlotte St and was waslking back down to Oxford St and there was a Black (or dark blue) 05 plate 612 Scag parked up. Some girl ran over to it, her boyfriend chasing her saying "just dont touch it....please, dont touch it...."

She kissed the front badge and hugged the front of the car (very gently, to her credit ) then kissed the wing mirror! I mean, dont get me wrong, I love Ferrari's including the 612, but I wouldnt KISS one!

Funniest reaction I've seen to a Ferrari in a while.

Anyway, thats a day in London. Considering, I'd say 3/4 of those were spotted in 45 mins, thats a hell of a lot of flash cars in one town! I lost count of Bentleys, saw 7-ish Phantoms, an SLR....and only saw two Maser's An 05 plate GS in Grigio and an Italian registered QP in Black with tan on the Kings Road, mid afternoon....

Log over. Any of those belong to anyone on here?

I was in London yesterday too and passed Harrods too lol passed a Hotel can't remember it's name on the left hand side not too far down from the Chrylser garage but before you arrive at Harrods, saw a silver SLR pull up, a phantom was parked along with a lovely bentley what I think was a Hamann Cayanne.

When I drove back I saw a fairly old man (perhaps going through a midlife crisis) in a 05 plate 360 Spider - at least I think that's what it was, hard to drive and follow sat nav and car spot lol

Saw quite a few of those too - was over for lunch on Kings Road. The Swiss 612 was behind my RS going uptowards Knightsbridge. Passed the black 360 behind harrods too and the black 430.

Wouldn't have thought it would be a 360 on an 05 plate... More likely an F430.

I could be wrong, though.

ETA: But maybe the F430 Spider wasn't available until after 05? Oo I don't know...

And that's because you haven't spotted my Maser on the flatbed going to the dealer on Saturday... PITA

lol exactly what I thought as I was typing that sentance....I should have had a closer look at the car and not the driver but the owners always intrigue me. And I was trying to keep to speed limit (wasn't hard driving the tank aka Range) and trying to stay in lane whilst oogling which is quite difficult, actually!
