On the street? Well if I exclude dealerships and car shows it gets limited...
a Ferrari F40 once in Marble Arch London stuck in heavy traffic!
a Ferrari Daytona once
a Lambo Countach just once
thought I saw a Porsche 959 once parked very near my home but on close inspection it was a 911 with a 959-like bodykit!.....
many cars that are mentioned here are not really rare just maybe rare in the place where people have spotted them... in this sense I could mention a Chevy Camaro and a Corvette Stingray that I saw which are super-rare here in Greece but on every street corner in other parts of the world....

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

I saw an early 1970's ferrari cant say what it was but it was mothballed to hell, but it would be amazing if it was restored. friend of my dads is looking into buying it and restoring, if he does ill try to post pictures so you guyz can see how sweet this thing would b. I also saw a junked up shelby mustang gt 500 67' i believe also sweet if restored

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

where i live there arent much to look at, i live in the most boring suburb of sydney, my car is probably the only half-decent one to look at around here. But about a month and a half ago i spotted 2 mitsubishi 3000GT Vr4's behind eachother, those cars are sweet, and very very rare around here, not even many in australia.

although when im out cruisin the city, i see a few porsche's and ferrari's here and there.

And yet skylines are commonplace. How sad

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

My best friend owns a '90 5.0 Mustang GT (not too rare but slick none the less), his cousin owns a '04 SVT Focus (not too rare now but will be in the future). My uncle owns a '99 Rouche Cobra. Theres a guy who comes into my work a lot who owns a white Saleen Cobra. I know a woman whose husband has a Harley Davidson Edition F-150. Buddy of mine used to own an '89 Supra. Saw a white Boss 302 Mustang the other day. I was behind a black '04 GTO when they first came out. Someone I go to school with owns a really old (before the body style change we know of now and they obviously dont take very good care of it) Subaru Impreza. I see a lot of cars around here. Oh, I see a red Prowler parked at a business up the street from me and for awhile, I was seeing a yellow Viper around here. Haven't seen it for a long time.

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

ok this weekend i saw two cars i'd class as rare, and one thats rare at the moment. The New BMW M5 (v10)

proper rare cars...
BMW M3 CSL (i never realised they had a carbon roof!)
chrysler/mercedes mid engined thing... don't know what it was yet but COOL!

oh yeah and i saw a bently continental R (think thats the sport version right?)

saw shitloads of porsches, maseratis, a couple of other bently's. but never thought i'd see the sports monster, and it was all gold.

Yep. I saw a Monza Red one crawling towards me in the opposite direction, near where i live. I wanted to block it, get out, shake the guy's hand and congratulate him on his exceptionally good taste. But i just sat there and drooled. The interior is ALL carbonfibre

I think i might have seen that car on a separate occasion but cant be sure: again, it was coming the other way, but absolutely flying and i didnt manage to identify it 100%.

Awesome car.
