Popped into London today..Foreign Car Invasion

[ls3steve]

All the usual places, have seen some others on here posting up that they have seen whichever cars.

Only car i didnt see were the L'or Blanc Veyron. On top of all these lots i saw quite a few others.
Four Ferrari California's
a few F458's
Countless Bentley/Aston Martin/Porsche
Couple of Aventadors and McLarens

But they were all driving along so didnt get a chance to take a shot..














Really like these

Thanks, really enjoyed looking over them!

Love the Shooting brake.

How are the 'seg and Veyron both on the same "555" number plate?

Because they aren't British plates I imagine.

But no country (that I can think of) allows 2 cars to be on identical plates.

Some tasty exotica. London's always good for car porn.

A few details (roof duct etc) aside. Am I alone in liking that Macca? Gives it a bit more presence. Why didn't they add a few detials to the body from factory. Sure it will date a bit faster, but who cares in 5 years they'll be releasing another car

I love the Agera, yet cannot think of many roads less suited to driving one, such is the great irony of being a rich arab living in a London hotel.

SSS and 555 using a dodgy font?

Rich W - i really liked the Fab Design MP4 too. Seemed different in a good way.

not sure how they can get away with the plates either.

It looks much nicer than the stock Macca!! Finely a supercar presence.

Who is to say the plates are even legit?.

If UK police/ANPR whatever have a direct link to the vehicle licensing databases of every country in the world then ignore the above.

I have no clue what this is. Where do I hand in my PH membership?.

Nice lot of cars! There was an article about it in a newspaper the other day, 'tis the annual Arab pre-ramadan holiday and spending splurge for all the oil sheikhs. Lucky buggers!

Mclaren

Some lovely cars in London (as always). I wish I didn't hate the city so I could make excuses to go down and see them all!

Yes - every summer we're "invaded" by lots of "hard working" people.

If you head onto Sloane Street right about now there are normally loads of silly cars just parked along the side of the road.
I guess its a status thing but i kinda dont see the point in just moving the cars from one hotel parking space to a road thats about 1/4mile round the corner.

but i would quite happily own any of those cars.. wonder if they want to chop theirs in against my VXR8 ?

[thinfourth2]

London must have the most fantastic roads in the whole of the UK

Why else would there be so many super cars


Either that or it is just rich knobbers showing off
