Rarest cars you have seen on the road or track?

[jorge]

I recently saw a red Enzo in a showroom, but it was there only for a week or so

[No.1]

I have also seen plenty of Brabus SL's and E-Class-es

I have seen a few Lambo Diablos, including a purple one owned by Prince Nassem.
I have seen a Vanquish, with its owner Rio Ferdinan (Man Utd Player) driving in the city. It was black with the Plate "RF 100" or something like that.

I have seen many other nice cars, like Porsches, but no really rare ones (like a GT2, or a 959, i have seen many GT3's ang Turbos.... The list goes on...

I have also seen the Carrera GT (in concept form at the motor show)

A Dodge Viper (rare in Britain), Hummers (mainly H2's), a New Ford Thunderbird....

ohhh....I just remembered! I saw a 750h in 2001 in Dubai with a German plate!

It passed me on the highway!

[Porsche_Cayenne]

Yesterday I saw a new Porsche 996 Turbo Cabriolet
ah, and a 550 Barchetta 5-6 months ago

... I don't write all the supercars I've seen, only the rarest not like 360 modena

It's quite rare, being just launched :roll:

I can not show a photo. 8(.
But I live in a house owned by a former BMW director of South Africa. I am looking after it for him. Its a holiday house.
One of his friends came to visit and he owned it. He gave me the keys and allowed me to sit in it, but did not take me for a drive. Unfortunately the next year I asked the House owner (Excuse me for not mentioning his name, but If you want I will PM it to you.) to take photos, but the owner had sold it. He said as much that morning. It was a LHD car in Dark Blue and he had imported it in I think 1980 (or was that 1979?).

As prrof the best I could do is maybe ask the BMW guy to send me photos of his car, although it may not be easy to get hold of him again. I think there are only 4 in South Africa, one is owned by the BMW museum and it does not run.

The closest I can come to proving the truth otherwise is to publish pictures of the other cars I mentioned and hope you believe this is true as well. The mere fact that I mention an M1 - a car few people know about - should at least give me some credibility.

I can also say that the pedal offset in the M1 is at least a match for a Countach and I had a problem getting my legs between the steering wheel and seat. The car is quite tiny inside I felt. This happened around 2000.

DB7 Vantage...sooooo beautiful
Diablo VT
Diablo SV
Murcielago
Rolls Royce

and I've seen an Esprit only once

...i guess go on a search for rare cars since i live near to a region in So-California where Porsche 911s are like basic transports.

Once on a sunny day, i saw Ferrari 550, Diablo VT, and a Murcielago at that place within an hour's length

I only see a McLaren F1 once in my life on the highway when I was on the way back home from work. My God it's gorgeous!! I almost get into accident because I keep on looking at that car instead of the road. I guess the rarest car I've ever seen has to be the McLaren F1. I just wish I have my digital camera on me that day.

I made the promised site to contain some of my photos. It is very threadbare currently as I need to scan several shots and grab some frames from home videos.

the link would be:
http://e.co.za/Cars/photos.html

That page contains links to pages containing photos. The photos are not thumbnailed, so some pages may take a little time to load later on when there are more shots.
