Today whilst going in to town to get my wheels sorted, I spotted about 4 of these...

Any clues as to what they might have been?

Model T or an Austin 7 was apparently the uk equalivant in terms of popularity

Bleedin' Lambos are like buses, you don't see one for ages then...

Found out a bit more about this Murcielago LP640 .
I thought it was just a friends visiting but as it's still there I had to ask, it is a 20th birthday present to the son of the RR & Bentley bloke. His 18th birthday present was this SLK55 (which he's now got rid of) and his 19th was this Bentley (which he's still got) , wonder what's for his 21st

Oh my word.

SLK55 @ 18yr, Bentley Cont GT @ 19yr then @ LP640 20yr... must be an Enzo for his 21st b-day

SLR convertible surely for his 21st?

Morba · 19 Jun 2007 at 23:15

Nope that looks to be sn SL55 amg so mercedes strapped a supercharger to that V8

You can see the writing after the V8 on the wing,should say supercharged or kompressor.

Kristoph · 21 Jun 2007 at 01:34

Yeah, remember it saying Kompressor, here's the original in hi res with a zoom in on the wing.

JohnnyG · 21 Jun 2007 at 16:30

A nice Black Ferrari dunno what model it is?

Must stop hanging around people's garages...

mrk · 21 Jun 2007 at 16:36

someone with an e46 323i se has upgraded it here at work with an "extra" 2 exhaust pipes, will post a pic shortly, looks quite willy :/

For a 5.4l V8 360hp is pathetic IMO
