This might fall foul of one of the rules as it's technically a dealership's car just out for some photography, but tell me this isn't an absolute unicorn and an extremely lucky thing to stumble across on my way to buy lunch:


If you're in South Kensington (London, UK) any time soon go take a look. It's the only road converted R390 GT1 in the world, and it gave me goosebumps.

Well now I’m not feeling so impressed with this cherry Buick Regal I saw today.

 

[Touring Mars]

A bit late, but I found this on YouTube - the Lamborghini Essenza SCV12 at Spa.



There's a lone figure standing watching at Blanchimont at ca. 6:40 in the video above, which may well be me... that was the spot where I watched it for a few laps and there was practically no-one else at Blanchimont, which although it's an amazing part of the circuit, it is not that spectator-friendly.

I wondered what this car was, but some lucky person had this and the Spa circuit to themselves for several laps. It sounded like a jet fighter going past - louder than the GT3 cars that would take part in the Spa 24h later.

There was also this thing (apparently being driven by The Stig...)

 

[GTboyz]

Pretty big deal since there's only 1 CCX in my country.

 

[Venom800tt]

I really should post more of my sightings in here, but man I am lazy... Anyway a few from today:

 

[Blitz24]

Don't often see this around.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

A few things I saw this week

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Saw a few things in Detroit Saturday including a Mc 20 Cielo in the rain. Missed a 2024 Traverse in camo on the highway.

 

[RacingGrandpa]

Compared to you guys some mundane spottings

Then a drive by.. just caught a glimpse but believe it to be more rare

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Alfa spider

 

[Spongeinside]

I had the displeasure this afternoon to see a pink Landrover, I think it was a Discovery, but not sure.. not quit “Barbie” pink but very close… Unfortunately or fortunately, I couldn’t take a picture while driving.

 

[-Fred-]

Exotic to us Americans, a Peugeot 106 on Ontario plates within the town of Watkins Glen.

I'm pretty sure I spotted the exact same car in one of the parking lots at CTMP during the IMSA weekend a few weeks ago.

240 D late 70s

Beetle

These look like events to me.

These look like events to me.

Mine were spectator cars around the event. Except for the F1. I know not to post event pics here.

But they aren't pure street spots because you knew that such vehicles would be there, right? As far as I'm concerned, this thread is all about chance encounters with interesting cars.

 

[Populuxe]

it’s not my thread so it’s not my decision, but I don’t have a problem with photos of spectator cars. I’ve posted them myself.

It's like me posting pictures of cars in the overflow car park at Cars And Coffee. They aren't random spots, you have specifically visited such location because you KNOW that some interesting cars will be there. But why, I hear you ask, would it be any different to me walking around a place like Beaconsfield Parade in St Kilda? Well I don't know what I'm going to see. I may not see anything AT ALL but there is a high likelihood that I will see something interesting. Funnily enough, I may actually see more interesting cars late in the evening on the notorious Bell St than some Sundays on Beaconsfield Parade.

These cars didn’t pull in the show. The show was on a street. These were just driving by.
