Not only have I seen but also I’ve worked on/driven (ok so it might only be a few yards) in out of workshops etc.

A Few Porsches, mostly 911’s
A DeLorean,
A few Aston DB5’s, the big old v8 one and a mint twin supercharged DB7 with some stupidly low mileage on the clock,
A BMW m something, the one that looks like it’s from batman, well it was black,
Few Scobbies, Evos, Skylines, supras, Rx8s etc, etc.

A 1930’s something Rolls Royce in and out of one workshop and into the other with the mightily Merlin engine, one point though on choke it didn’t half drink the ld jungle juice.

Oh and on work experience I did happen the witness a salesman from the jag dealership next door, spin and smash hp the back end of a 360 spider with the current owner was thing of trading in as a Part Ex, only it was also 4 months out of tax at the time as well.

Forgot about one I see reguarly! There's a hand car wash place at the edge of Rusholme in Manchester (the south end just before Fallowfield, by Platt Fields Park/Finglands Bus Depot) that hires out a black Lambo, can't remember what model though, they hire out a few other higher end cars, always wondered how much they charge for the Lambo lol

[Jammy]

I think we should just make a list of super/hypercars we haven't seen! Supercars like Ferraris, Lambos aren't exactly rare around most parts, I think the only Ferrari I've never seen driven on a road is an Enzo, F40 and F50, though technically I did see them all in Adenau near the 'Ring. Never seen a Lambo Reventon on the roads, or a Mclaren F1. There was a Mclaren SLR in the 'Ring car park last year. Seen a Carerra GT coming from a not so nice part of Gillingham last year, tried to keep up with it in a dying Mk1 MR2 but alas I failed! Never seen a Bugatti Veyron on the road either, or a Spyker, or a Ford GT, or a SSC, or Koenigsegg or Zonda.

Special mention should go to a TVR Cerbera that I see quite often.

A 1930’s something Rolls Royce in and out of one workshop and into the other with the mightily Merlin engine, one point though on choke it didn’t half drink the ld jungle juice.

That Rolls more than likely didnt have a Merlin engine in it, unless someone had put one in it which is unlikely! If it was 1930's and a V12 it was a Phantom III lovely engine they have, so quiet!

Some cars i have seen aparts from ones at shows, most have been where i work are:

Just ones off the top of my head...
Bugatti Veyron
Ferrari Enzo + many other model Ferrari's Old and new.
Porsche Carrera GT + Many other models.
Old Bugatti sports/race cars.
Ford GT
Aston Martins old and new.

Its nice when we get them in at work because you can have a proper nose around them!

Well it original lived out in Africa (or around that part of the world) until it was imported back and used till being taken of the road in the late 80’s, although I had also been repainted in god/red sometime in the 70’s. So I don’t know how much of it was original, but it did sound really nice whatever engine it had.

It does look a bit like c3po but silver, i dont know if it was drivable, couldnt see through the windows and didnt check for an engine.
