Silver 992 S/T wearing the number plate A 911, on the M4 near Port Talbot this lunchtime. Probably a journalist on a jolly. Not far behind it was a Subaru Forester STi, in blue with gold wheels. Grey Aston Martin Rapide on the M4 near Sarn.

A few Ferraris today. Leon Esfahani on the Mumbles Road in a very flashy one. Is it an SF90? Something similar on the M4 too, and a matt black GTC4 Lusso on German plates on Fabian Way.

More interesting though was a red 205GTi 1.9 on the Mumbles Road and a pristine E-reg Maestro 1.3L in gold on the roundabout by Sarn services.

The plate A 911 has been on various Porsches and I believe it's owned by Porsche GB.

Was it wearing the plate 2LE by any chance? If so I'm very envious as I've been waiting to see that!

Was it this?

Yes, I think so. Sorry, I’ve sort of lost track of the modern Ferrari range.

I don't blame you. You saw a Ferrari SF90 XX - the first road legal version from their FXX department. A rare 'spot' indeed.

A 911 is indeed owned by Porsche GB, same as 911 HUL and a few others. Was most likely a journalist like you said. The cars are hard in Porsche GB HQ in Reading, I’ve been there a few times.

I used to live up the road from Porsche Reading, so seeing A 911, OPR 911 and 911 HUL were regular spots. Portman Lamborghini were based on the same site as Porsche for a number of years. Not every day you see a Diablo in a ditch and a fed up looking mechanic waiting for recovery at the side of the road.

I lived in Reading in 2016, saw A 911 and 911 HUL a fair few times. I also saw a storage unit out the back where there were 5 or 6 918s and 5 or so Carrera GTs. I was besotted with one CGT in particular! Lambo had moved to Pangbourne by the time I was there.

Stunning. I have seen a couple in the flesh in Bristol and Silverstone OPC's, but still waiting to see one on the road. I see that one has the WP pack, what did it sound like?

I saw this last week, good to see it must be a local car.

Chrysler 300C wearing some form of North American Police livery and an orange Renault 5, late 80's model, both on Bridgend Industrial Estate.
