The Cars Spotted Appreciation Thread

The colour is Amethyst. Quite common on German registered 964 RS'.

Paul Steven sold one that colour last year. https://www.paul-stephens.com/prestige-cars/Porsche-964-U1976/

Do yo not think ride height and wheel offset look odd

You are likely correct

It looks high but the angle of the photo is terrible. The turbo split rims don't help it.

Interesting thing, it should have purple seat faces too but you can't see those from that angle.

It was brought into the uk in 97, probs for about £25k...

 

[Mr R.]

My mate was going to buy one of those 20 odd years ago. They were £20 odd k for a left hooker back then.

Yep, we had a black cab driver who owned one along with a post man, both cars bought at the time for around the £20 - 25k Mark.

The black cab driver customer let me have the car for a week.

I recon its a real oddball and certainly not a 250k car

Not by any stretch

Some very odd things going on there

However i live and learn as i have seen 3.8 on an RS reg doc as i still kick myself for not buying the rhd 993rs

If only we new 20 years ago, we'd all own very expensive M3's, Cosworths, 911's etc!

The only 964 I know that's a 3.8 is the last of the Turbo 2.

 

[...]

They did also use the 3.8 for the rs in NA

Looks like its very rare and at the end which then became the 993 rs which was a 3.8 which stayed untill the very recent 4.0rs

Most of my RS knowledge is 993's and newer though i have driven a fair few 964rs in my old wheeltorque days

I made a hash of my comments on that amythyst rs .... however wheels rideheight and offset do also look odd but the vin wont lie

I saw a black Alfa Giulia Quadrothingymajig this morning. Yes please!!

 

[cat171]

I saw a white Sierra RS Cosworth yesterday, it looked absolutely mint!! It had an RS500 lower rear boot spoiler in it too in white. I had to wait to see the reg in case it was a fake, nope proper D reg
I also saw the red 90 spec Escort RS Turbo on Azev A's I saw the other week, parked up with the bonnet up (just like in the olden days!)

 

[Clio_fool]

I spotted a pug 306 GTI 6 on the M1 on Saturday. It was that blaze yellow and was looked absolutely mint. Twas just like this one

 

[cat171]

I was behind an 11 reg 6.2 E63 AMG wagon on Friday, lovely rare bus! And I saw a white Nissan GTR yesterday, in Rainham of all places, so deffo stolen! lol!!
Neither cars were driving like idiots

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Saw this today. Not often seen in the wild these days. Real young guy driving it too:

Also saw this. Not a car I admit, but I enjoyed it all the same:

 

[withoutabix]

Was lovely!

 

[CrippsCorner]

That's cool, though I hate convertibles.

 

[adamlstr]

New cars really do nothing for me.


Srs, not even a twitch.

 

[mace¬]

Saw an i8 this morning all in black. Looked a bit meh.

 

[_Tom]

Something you don't see everyday. Alfa Giulia TZ2

 

[Clio_fool]

Nice.

 

[_Tom]

Nice.

The guy that owns it's collection was immense. AC Cobra, 911 RSR..etc

 

[cat171]

I saw a silver 996 turbo earlier, I think they've still got it! I see stacks of 991's around, so it's nice to see one a couple of gens earlier.

 

[terryc101]

A Lancia Stratos broken down on a roundabout in rush hour. First I've seen on the road.

 

[withoutabix]

Not a car but spotted this animal in Cyprus

 

[mace¬]

Saw a Renault Twizy parked outside the zoo last week. Identical to this.

 

[Short Norman]

@withoutabix I saw this one in Barcelona two years ago.

 

[cat171]

I think Renault Twizy's are wicked!
I saw a highly modified Nissan GT-R on Sunday, the rear wing was massive! It's green with cf bonnet etc, apparently done by kream developments blud.
This one (now with a huge wing etc)

 

[Euan94]

I saw a Twizy this morning weirdly enough, proper odd to see one on the road but definitely have a cool factor to them

 

[Chris V6 255]

Spotted a Bugatti Chiron out in the wild. Had so much road presence.

Couldn’t get a pic cos it was driving in the opposite direction.

Think it was this one.

Saw an XJ220 recently! I was driving on a long sweeping A road towards Milton Keynes and saw it coming up behind me fast. Naturally I dropped it a few gears as I wanted a bit of a play with it just for the jokes (obviously it was going to demolish me anyway!) He went for the overtake but a car started coming the other way so he had to tuck in behind me again.
About a mile later we came up to a dual carriage way, where I booted it again off the roundabout. He then floored it in the outside lane and my god what a sight and noise! The XJ220 has an amazing amount of road presence and I feel they don't get the recognition they deserve.

Spotted a red lotus Esprit today, late model s4s or V8 with the big wing on the back. I've always been a fan of the Esprit.
Also spotted a new civic type R in white. Shame they are so good to drive but so bad to look at.

 

[Poopensharten]

Golf GTi Anniversary in red on the way home from work, looked immaculate!

 

[cat171]

I saw a black D reg SAAB 900 Turbo yesterday, complete with tan leather interior & original wheels etc. I thought it was ace!

 

[Clio_fool]

Spotted a Maserati Levante yesterday. It's better looking than the Bentley SUV, that's all I have to say about it.

 

[cat171]

I saw a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti last night, it sounded ace! I don't like the look of them though.

 

[KitsonRis]

Not sure if it was in this thread about the Polo Harlequin being spotted, but I did see a VW Scirocco Harlequin at Castle Combe on Saturday. Couldn’t get a picture as I was in the queue to get in and it was several Cara behind. Thought it was pretty smart a great nod to the Polo.

 

[cat171]

Yep in here, I think they're cool! (they're so s**t lol!)
