So who has the rarest car on PH?

Rules are:

1) that it has to be a manufacturer-released model, not a home-spun modified special.
2) cost < 100,000 GBP when bought by you to keep things sensible.
3) not currently in production otherwise you could claim to have 1 of 3 so-far delivered cars.

There's about 350 TVR V8Ss left, so rare by major manufacturer standards.

Someone on here owns a Lancia Zagato Hyena coupe. Stunningly cool car and VERY rare. Can't remember the user name though.

One of only 172 produced (all in a few months at the end of 1994/early 1995).

Phlea's Hyena is rare - I think one of 24.

And not on the same scale, but my RZ is one of about 284 in the world, 15-ish in the UK.

If and Audi has a chance what about a cpari 280 with the turbo technics fitted when new by the main dealer. Only 135ish were delivered to the first owner to this spec and I think there are only about 50ish left which haven't died???

Interesting.

Have you got pretty much all of them on the register now?

I have a TVR Wedge 420SE, which I believe is 1 of 7 (It's effectively a 390SE with a SEAC engine but that's how TVR badged them, and they only made 103 390SE's anyway).

Estate car is a Subaru Legacy GT, which isn't that common in this country as they're all imports.

Only car I can drive at the moment because of hip problems is a Ford Aerostar (jointly owned with tallbloke) which must be rare in this country as well.

An pretty rare trio!

No idea - probably not. I have a list of 85 cars, of which about 50 can be positively identified. There are probably less than 100 left anyway.

I reckon there were fewer RHD S2 Avants than RHD RS2s - and mine was the only one in Cricket Green, although it's not hard to see why...

Returning to the OP, though, nda's DBR2 must be a contender, although it may be disqualified on value grounds.
