Had one of these many years ago. Only 4675 were made, and only 2500 stayed in the UK. Rather fitting, this week.

Had a lot of fun in this:

Rarest cars I've owned... BMW E30 M3 (all original, drove it for two years and sold it for more than I paid), Porsche 997 GT3, Audi Quattro Coupé (quite rare in the USA). Nothing truly exotic though...

If your obsessed with poster cars this is a quintessential 80's tuner car.

Its a 1988 Koenig Specials 928

Don't know

how rare it was, but the love hate relationship between me and this car was all but rare: My 67 was just like this one.

'97 Subaru SVX. 1 of 51 in Canada in that, it's last, year.
Sadly, recently sold but replaced by an almost equally rare 2001 Saab 9-5 Aero 5-speed wagon with only 122,000 km.

I've never owned a rare car, but I have had a couple that weren't very well done.

Funny enough, I drive the 2nd most popular vehicle in the US, however mine is excessively rare due to the 6.2L under its hood..... Does that count?

Here's mine. I know, not super cars or everyone's cup of tea, but I like them.

First is my 1984 20th Anniversary Mustang. It's one of 104 convertibles with a 2.3L turbo engine.



The other is a light desert tan 1984 Mustang GT. I don't know the actual production numbers. I really should contact Kevin Marti and find out. But it's more rare than the other car. These pics are from a photo shoot for a magazine 2 years ago.
