Hi Guys,

Travelled up to London today and I must say that it was not what it used to be. Barely any supercars except a few Astons, Bentley, Porsches etc...

We saw a Maserati Granturismo S which was extremely nice. Sounded good!

However, We did see this...





Can't say I am a massive fan. Especially of that rear wing. Just doesn't do it for me. I much prefer the normal LP640. It may grow on me though...

Maybe it wasnt sunny enough or you just picked a quiet day? I cant say that its been markedly quiter on the nice car front from my experience.

That's a cracking colour - although I'd prefer 'brighter-than-you-can-look-at-for-too-long-green'

Have you had a look in the 'Supercars Spotted - Some rareties' thread in General gassing? There are loads of pics of the usual arab registered supercars floating around London this summer.

I find it very surprising that you say there are so few supercars in London at the moment!

Are you looking in the right places......the usual hotels, bars, clubs...etc, etc.

I walked past the Dorchester on the way to work and there were 3 x Lambos and a McLaren SLR Convertible outside yesterday morning and an 430 Scud also drove by.

We were looking in the right places. Harrods, Around Kensington, Park Lane etc...

Nothing really.

Even though as common as muck, I really love the S Class!

Great looking cars.

It is probably because all the private schools are now on summer hols and everyone has gone somewhere sunny to get away from damp London.

The next few months is when London empties out ... only the tourists remain.

these few months are where there should be lots of sports or supercars...this is the peak time as every summer, all the arabs come over

The SLR Roadster, LP670, Carrera GT, 2 Phantom DHCs, Murcielago, CLK Black Series and a few others were all outside the cafe at Al-Jumeriah around 7pm last night. There were plenty of nice cars around town yesterday smile

Harrods is definitely your best bet as the arab community hang around there all the time. Used to see a couple of orange and black (matt) bentleys and rolls. Think the lambos are out in force now. Otherwise just take a short drive down to old brompton road and you have the lambo showroom and ferrari/maserati showroom to browse through.
