Hugh Grant (many times) in his Vanquish
Did not know he had a Vanquish. I remember reading an article he wrote when "About a Boy" came out, he apparently had very little interest in cars, and the kid playing the boy spent the whole time they were making the film badgering him into buying something nice!I once got hit by Rowan Atkinson in his Delta Integrale in Windsor High Street. This was in around '87/'88. I stepped out into the road without looking, he slammed the brakes on and gently tapped me on the legs with his grille. He wound the window down and released a string of four letter invective at me which I thoroughly deserved. Sorry, Rowan, if you read this website.
The next week, I was walking in Peascod Street (also in Windsor, before pedestrianisation), when a Big Jag XJ saloon pulled up at the kerb. Door opened and out stepped Billy Connolly. He hadn't noticed me and walked straight in to me. Apologised profusely.
A couple of years ago, I spotted Paul Daniels driving a Transit van through Sonning - at the moment I spotted him I was listening to an interview with David Blaine on the radio and driving past the gates of Yuri Geller's house. That's magic, I thought.
Then, a few weeks later, I saw Debbie Magee driving her old W124 Merc coupe (gold, naturally) through Caversham Park Village.

Does he still have his Ferrari, IIRC he had the plate MAG1C on it...he clearly moves the plate around:
