I saw this 40's Bentely. But what was more, it was snowing out, with roads icy as hell, and a wind chill of about zero (F). And I thought "Who the hell would drive a classic Bentley in this weather?"

And today, I saw a black Bentley CGT on black rims. It wouldnt have been such a big deal if it were just some white guy driving it. Dispite going past it quickly, I THINK I saw Kevin Garnett driving it, but I'm not sure. And it was about 25 (F) when I saw it. Welcome to a normal MN November. Even though it was about 60 as a high last week...

Re: whats the rarest car you've seen on the street?

Ferrari 250GTO, from the Matsumoto collection in Japan. Well, that's not the rarest, just the most valuable. Rarest car I've seen that I can think of was a one-off Ghia from the early 50's. It belonged to Greta Garbo and was being auctioned at the Kruse auction in Auburn, IN.

Oh wait, those cars were both parked. Rarest thing I've seen on the street was an old Deusenberg. Don't know the particular model, I just know it was a Deusenberg.

Re: whats the rarest car you've seen on the street?

BMW Z8 (Only One in New Zealand, LHD cars are unregisterable for street use, so either he got it converted to RHD or kissed some government ass)

Rolls Royce Phantom- Once again the only one in New Zealand and belongs to a guy down the road.

Modded Ferrari 360's One Spider and one Coupe, both had rims, zorsts and spoilers, it's VERY rare that a Supercar owner over here gets into modifying thier supercars.

Ferrari Enzo- Leaving Ferrari dealer, only one in NZ once again

Porsche Carrera GT- OK so it was at a show, but still....... *drool* I beleive this car belongs to New Zealand A1GP franchise holder Colin Giltrap and the car resides in London.

Ford GT- See above (Cept it belongs to a guy who converts US trucks and Stangs to RHD, not errr... Colin Giltrap and resides locally).

Purple Lamborghini Diablo SE30- I think there could be two of those over here.

Aston Martin V8 Vantage (Mid 90's)- Yum

Aston Martin Vanquish- 3 in the country and I've seen them all.

Ferrari 275GTB- This thing just stood out in peak hour Auckland traffic, in black as well. Yum.

Bentley Azure- I can't remember where I saw it, but
it had a small metal skull on top of the grille lol and red radiator fans

Mercedes Benz SL65 AMG- Black on Red. Parked outside my apartment, only one in the country once again.

Rolls Royce Silver Seraph- Very rare over here, cause Rolls Royce were not sold here during the time that the Seraph was out.

I've also seen a fair few Murcielagos, Diablos, Ferrari's (Mostly new ones like the 550 Maranello, 575M, Testarossa, 348, 360, F355, 456), Maserati's, Aston DB7's and DB9's, Bentley Continental GT's and Arnages, Rolls Royce Silver Spirits, 911 Turbo's, Skyline GTR's, NSX's, M5's (Get the picture? lol) around the place, not really a big thing to see them, Central Auckland and the North Shore tend to have a very good helping of Supercars, the only way to see more supercars would be to head to Monaco, Beverley Hills or a race track in Europe on a track day.

I suppose it's worth noting that there is only one manual Rover 75 in NZ (But 12 billion Autos) and I've seen it lol.

On the street-
Ferrari 360 Spyder (2 of em)
Ferrari F430 in Ferrari Red (they sound amazing)
Ferrari F40
Maserati Quattroporte
Porsche GT2
Lotus Elise (2 of em)
BMW Z8

I know this doesn't count, but at the Portland Auto Show last year they had by far the most impressive display of I have ever seen-

Ferrari Enzo
Ferrari F50
Ferrari F40
Ferrari 288 GTO

All in the same room, all red. They also had a 360 and a 575m. In other parts of the show they had a Carrera GT, a Ford GT, and a Viper Competition Coupe. Most impressive thing I have ever seen.

Re: whats the rarest car you've seen on the street?

Hmmm. I saw the mazda suitcase car - one of two made, and the only one in the U.S. (the other is still owned by Mazda and resides in Japan). But I saw it a parking lot at a show... it's not street legal.
However, I have seen a Subaru 360 roadster, these were specially built in the U.S. from the Subaru 360 sedan, about 12 are known to exist.
And a Borgward. Not really that rare - but I bet you've never seen one.

EDIT: I've not only seen, but ridden in the only street legal Subaru Fastrack in existense. It belongs to the founder of the Subaru 360 Driver's Club.

Yes. It turned into a road in Kensington (Longon) which has numerous embassies in it, including the Kingdom of Brunei's. I have a couple of pics of it (terrible quality, phone camera)
