What's the rarest car you've ever seen?

Recommended Posts

Now please, this can't include car shows etc, just rare cars you have spotted whilst out for a drive.

 

I'll start the ball rolling with mine: Aston Martin Zagato coupe, driving on a dual carriageway towards the M25 Chertsey. I wouldn't consider this a beautiful Aston but nonetheless very rare, only 52 coupes built!

Ferrari Enzo at Le Mans this year, but I suppose that's almost cheating.

 

There's an Alfa SZ that lives between work and the pub, and they get it out every so often in the summer - very cool looking, and about one thousand ever made.

Cheating? Bloody right it is!! :lol:

Yeah the Alfa SZ, mad, mad car, it is rare, but the RZ (convertible) is rarer still, about 240 built.

Yeah, very cool. The SZ is one of the few cars I might consider 'graduating to' in the future, although no doubt they are expensive. I dunno, somehow they feel like they have the same attitude as the C - a bit quirky coupe, not too popular when meybe they should have been?

Does a Peugeot 205 Roland Garros convertible count, seeing as there were only 250 made? ;)

 

Saw a Ferrari Enzo near Farnborough about 5 months ago - and I thought I was dreaming! Damn sure it was actually an Enzo, no other has that bonnet shape... Seen a Porsche 959, but that was parked at a car dealers in Bramley, so I guess it doesn't count! They also had a 1970s Ferrari (can't remember which model) that was one of only 7 RHD convertibles ever made... Seen a genuine F40 around Guildford, but they made about 1300, so not that rare!

Talking of the 959, I followed one on the M25 (in heavy traffic, admittedly) for about 10 miles a few years back. The irony was, I was in my g/friend's Skoda Estelle 130 at the time, a few months before I blew it up!

Jeremy's Corrado Campaign.. they only ever made 6 of em, and theres now only about 4 left.

 

Yeah, so it might just be a Corrado compared to the likes of Astons, etc.. but unique (for the Corrado) paintwork and that mental interior.. worth a mention I feel.

Not sure how rare they are but when I lived up north there was a guy down the road with an old Datsun 240z, only one I've ever seen.

 

Oh, and there's a garage about 1/2 a mile from me that has a DeLorean sat in the window (not for sale, just sat there looking cool), nice motor but a bit of a let down when you sit in it and realise there's no flux capacitor behind the seats :(

Probably a Dino or maybe a Daytona?

 

I had a little race once with a 275 GTB, the V12 engine sounded amazing, and it still went very well, although a bit smokey!!

Yes the Ferrari Dino, although never sold as a Ferrari (if you see one with the Ferrari badge, it's been added) now go for £70,000 in mint condition!!

 

A mechanic friend of mine has one is very good condition and it has been valued at £50,000+ :o

There's actually two in bristol! common as muck! One on brynland ave, and another that hoons up park st.

 

Saw a Pagani Zonda in london a couple of years ago, fairly rare.

 

My boss has just sold his maserati 3200 assetto corsa, one of 75 limited edition - he's just upgraded to a quattroporte.
