I'm throwing my hat in the ring with my Evo 6 Extreme RS450, only 3 of that particular version left in the world....

Who else has something pretty exclusive?

I don't by any means own a rare car. However, mine does have a full leather interior which I have never seen before on a standard STi (not including SpecD's etc). It's really quite nice.

how do you define "rare"...

certainly I've had a a couple of cars, of which 500 where made, not sure if that counts as rare.

I have a Chevette HS....according to http://howmanyleft.co.uk/vehicle/vauxhall_chevette... there are only 79 left in UK

Less than 400 ever made

Does that count as rare?

I wonder how many Firenza and Magnum are left? Firenza looked awesome with a droop snoot.
I had a 2300 Magnum, a VX4/90, and a 3.3ltr 3spd automatic Cresta PC.

All cracking good motors of their time!! Bet they are all pretty rare nowadays. frown

According to the same website:

My Austin 1300 is one of only 160 left on the highways... Does this count?

Though by comparison, my BMW 320touring is 1 of only 150 in that spec.

Kind of ruins the specialness.... So suppose it depends how we are classifying "rare"

RB5 is 1 of 444 but with the WR Sport upgrade is one of about 200 made and probably a fair few less still on the roads.

Not 1 of 3 but still pretty rare.

My brother had a 71K 2300 one same as the pic. I had a 73L Opel Manta 1900 SR again exact same as the pic. The Opel was a much better car. Still see a Manta occasionally.

I like these yes

There appears to be only a handful of other Starions on the road these days. I've only seen one other one in the wild in the 4 years I've had mine frown
