Spotted today… show us your weird, rare and gorgeous spots

[Mr Tidy]

There was a Pistonheads event at the Mini Factory yesterday morning so I took a few photos.



They had the 1 millionth Mini outside, built in 2007, and the 10 millionth - but that number includes plenty of horrors that look nothing like any Mini!

That must have been the millionth BMW Mini from 2007, since the millionth original Mini was made more than sixty years ago!
Looks like the weather was good - that TVR colour looks great in the sunshine.

 

[Mr Tidy]

You're right it was the millionth BMW Mini.

It was the colour that drew me towards the TVR. A lairy car deserves a stand-out colour!

Spotted last summer at a trackday of all places. Made me feel much better about missing the biggest car meet of the year. Cherry on top was everyone spectating the F40 going for a few laps in its own private session and having a spin at T1.

Apparently owned by a family who loves to take it to the track on occasion. Great to see this example being treated properly.

One of my favourite Ferraris and what I would buy first if I had a large pot of money for frivolous things

Whereas, your present large pot of money is for sensible things.

Sadly, there’s a big difference between a large pot of money and a large pot for money…

They look like actual barn finds, although I suspect they were never lost!

The 110 is possibly my all time favourite supercar.

Yeah, pretty cool thing, it was the SS too. I had a quick spin in it, actually drove pretty nice, but I didn't go anywhere near letting it rip. Needed bigger roads/balls for that!

Saw this in a pub car park near Thirsk a few days ago
It was in immaculate condition
Brought back memories of my 1.3 Chrysler Sunbeam I bought after seeing the rally cars

No idea what kind of Austin-Healey it is but this thing was gorgeus. Seen today at a local car show.

I couldn't get a photo but I saw a lovely dark blue Aston Martin DB6 on the M3 this afternoon.

Rare in dark blue, I think I’ve only seen them in silver

If it’s a 3000 with the 3l straight six, they can be surprisingly quick. Years ago, one easily kept pace with my 225hp Mk I Audi TT on the dual carriageways between Frimley Park Hospital and Sandhurst (location reference for Mr T), both accelerating from traffic lights and at high speed.

Spotted this rare and gorgeous thing in a driveway near Lincoln today. No idea what it is.
Strangely @bigwinn took the photos and @IRD was also there! What are the chances?

Pretty sure that is a Sebring. Although it could be another replica of the AH 3000.

my daughter's school had a party, so I took her in a friend's McLaren. I dropped it back at the unit after and the liberty walk lambo was there

Pretty good I suspect seeing as IRD lives there!

But your mystery car does look fantastic.
