jimmy83 0 Posted April 5, 2006 I used to work for a historic rally team, and had to look after various group b rally cars in a 'museum', including a ford rs 200, audi sport quattro s1 and lancier 037. I was only 18 at the time, and got to warm them all up once a week, I was in heaven...! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or the rarest car in the world, that I have not yet seen - a "nice" Citroen Saxo!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dredgey 0 Posted April 5, 2006 :lol: Try telling the people of Basingstoke that mate!! - they seem to think the things are amazing (especially with 1 real and 3 other fake exhausts out the back! :scratch: :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ford 0 Posted April 5, 2006 Saw a mint Porsche 914 on the streets of Paris a month ago - never seen one in the flesh and it actually looked quite nice. A couple of months back also spotted a De Tomaso Pantera in London- pretty rare super car beast too! Rarest car prior to that that sticks in memory is a offroad lambo I think it was called the LM002 - unbelievably ugly - can't believe they signed it off for production. Saw it back in the 80's!

Dredgey 0 Posted April 5, 2006 Ok I saw this at the start of the Gumball last year (similar to show I guess), but does anyone know what car this is because, I don't have a fappin clue! :scratch: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dredgey 0 Posted April 5, 2006 Not sure if it actually took part (can you imagine doing 3000 miles in those seats!!) as I saw it well after everybody had left London, but it sounded incredible! :thumb right: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ford 0 Posted April 5, 2006 Ford, like this one mate? (again from last years Gumball) Yep that is she! Maybe not so rare after all - just that I have not seen one since - wonder how many they made? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe not so rare after all - just that I have not seen one since - wonder how many they made? There were about 300 of them made, apparantly they're pretty nippy though (V12 countach engine) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biggrim 0 Posted April 11, 2006 Spotted a Mercedes Mclaren SLR in Glasgow city centre on Saturday. Stunning in the flesh on the road and sounded awesome! Only other time I've seen one is at a car show on a platform. No pic I'm afraid but then I'm sure we all know what it looks like. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

16vradge 0 Posted May 10, 2006 I used to work in a petrol station in York and saw a few rare beasts including a GT40 and a delorean. It was near to Elvington airfield and York dragstrip so there was alway cool cars coming in on a weekend. Went to the 'Cars of the stars' museum in Keswick last summer and saw a batmobile, actual Back to the future delorean and Delboys 3 wheeler. The guy that owns the museum uses the batmobile! 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
