Saw a Rolls Royce Estate on Oxford Street years ago, also seen a Jag XJS estate and a Rover P6 estate , thought all 3 looked good.
Sat in a new Rolls Royce Phantom the other week - floor mats had the deepest pile Ive seen.
Saw this last week at Santa Pod - new Skyline

Ummm... do you mean a Ford GT??  original GT40's are extremely rare  MK1's and MK2's were only built for racing... The MK3's didn't sell well due to their high price and being very much detuned... and the MK4's well we're back to racing again.

You can get original GT40's on the road, but you really do have more chance of seeing a gold plated Veyron.

There are quite a few Replicas around like this one:
                                                                                                                                               

There is a XJ220 (silver) that i've seen local a couple of times.

There was a brave guy in a Lambo Murcielago LP640 coming out of our road, very wide car (with expensive wheels) not very wide road with nasty alloy munching kerbs...lol

I've seen a 69 ZL1 Copo Camaro... very rare only 69 ever made.. i believe highest recorded price for 1 was about $800,000.

Ferrari F40.. years ago at Farnham train station.. some really old guy fell out of it, damn that guy's my hero, that's how i want to spend my retirement.

MG SV R at the last wheels day.

Lola T70 on the same day.

A week ago I saw a Lambo Murcielago trying to get through the McD drivethrough a few miles from us.No chance,I can barely get my Audi through safely.He then took the best part of 3 parking bays it was so wide.Great on the track,but nonsense in the real world!

I do mean the GT, I didn't realise that the modern version was not called the GT 40. I know the orginal's called that because it's 40 inches in height.

The Ferrari and Rolls Estates were made especially for the Sultan of Brunei.

Proof if any were needed that just because you drive an expensive car doesn't mean that you have taste

Ferruccio Lamborghini would be turning in his grave if he thought that his creations were being abused by association

Nope... just called the GT... partly because it's 43 inches tall and i have a feeling ford don't own the rights to the GT40 title anymore, could be wrong.

As far as i know the only company to be able to use GT40 is Superperformance who build a "Continuation Car" replica of the original GT40's which carry on from the original Chassis Numbers.

Every now and again, M1 users are treated to the sight of a 1929 4 Litre Bentley being used in all weather conditions and at a speed you might not expect a 79 year old car to be doing.

I have to confess I think its awesome.

Excuse me!I enjoyed my quarter pounder with cheese.Admittedly it was the first I'd had 1n 6 months,but one cannot always find a michelin starred restaurant when one feels a pang of hunger.


Now that's more like it.True style.
