Saw the UK's first rhd Countach in High Wycombe a few months back 'JYP 43N' currently for sale at the local Lambo specialist. Lovely pure design before all of the plastic 80's tack was bolted on. An awesome sight on the road.

Also saw B4 ULL a mid 80's Countach in red with all the spoilers - LP5000Q? Which roared past me whilst I was cycling - gave a huge thumbs up!!

Lastly saw an F40 parked up outside a restaurant in Marlow high street - will post a pick later.

you can't put a number on it

and nothing to do with value/exotica etc

just something that by common consent, isn't seen very often

like a Hillman Imp

Sums it up well i think, just nice stuff that you don't very often.. That doesnt mean posting any pictures of Skoda Rapides!!

Driven in this month's Motor Klassik! Well, the 1200C 'Prinz'.

It's funny how these old names seem to suddenly pop up out of nowhere.

Stuck behind a metallic pink Diablo on the M3 in traffic a while back. When the traffic cleared I was deafened by the noise when it took off. Yes I tried to keep up.

Also seen a couple of new GTR's in Slough this week, white one and a grey - impressive looking things.

While filling up at Shell in Chorleywood I heard a V10 from a distance

I looked up and there was a nice deep blue (Monte Carlo) Porsche Carrera GT

I've not seen one on the road before, I gave an open mouthed, gentle head nod to the passenger and he smiled back! He stopped at the lights but annoyingly my I've lost the charger for my cheap digi camera so unable to get a pic

4 X Mk1 Focus RS in my 15 mile commute this morning!

Admittedly I see 2 of them everyday, one in the office car park but 4 in a 30 min journey??

Saw a black Bugatti Veyron being driven along Queen's Road in Maidstone this lunchtime. Thought I'd walked into a parallel universe - wasn't expecting to see anything so exotic.
