The Cars Spotted Appreciation Thread

[JamesBryan]

He said they a few have changed hands for $1m or more in the US, which is nuts if true.

Had a quick look and saw figures of $500k, so yeah quite a bit.

Spotted this at Snetterton this evening; genuine Mine's R34 GTR. Was chatting to the owner (he owns Appreciating Classics), was a nice guy. It's done 15,000 miles, has 600bhp, and a laundry list of parts from.NISMO, HKS etc. etc. Absolutely stunning.

I absolutely love an Escort Cos, but I always think those replica OE looking wheels in 18's are just too big.

I agree. The harsh lines of the stickers suit the e30 so well. I wonder if the 45 would look less noncey done exactly the same way

It was the done thing back in the day, shovel a load of stickers on the car and make a cheap motorsport rep, so it kinda suits the E30.

Obviously went out of fashion fast, commuting to work on a wet Tuesday morning in a fake Touring car makes you look a proper pillock.

Just spotted this parked in Gloucester M5 services (Tebay of the south)

Noble motorsport in Chesterfield did a lot of work on my 106 GTi back in the day. They had tonnes of these things kicking about. Absolutely love them.

Always ended up chatting with the owners while I was checking in on the 106, hoped one would eventually offer to take me out for a spin but no dice

 

[Coby.]

Couple from today

 

[Mork of Ork]

I saw a Rolls Royce Spectre on my way home from work today, it was f**king huge.

 

[Willo40]

[McGherkin]

These had Maserati based engines in them, didn't they? Not all - but the majority.

Yeah, V6 in them. One of my mates has an SM in his collection. It's a proper cool car

A little holiday spot in Spain. Not the best pic, I didn’t want to embarrass myself in front of the locals

Looked clean though

Think they also have Hydraulic head lights? i remember the bangers and cash team buying one to repair and sell on, they seem seem like an nightmare to work on, and the engine was wrong the side or reliable, but such cool cool things.
