Most Famous Cars Spotted ?

Featured Replies

Driving home along the M8 eastbound last night I couldn't believe my eyes as I overtook a truck with three cars on the back -

Kitt from Knight Rider

The Delorean from Back to the Future

The A-Team Van

I've seen Jackie Stewart's old F1 car at the Museum of Transport in Glasgow, and I have a vague recollection that I might have seen James Bond's Lotus Esprit when I was a sprog.

I think they belong to "the cars the star" in Keswick!?

This was at Beaulieu Motor Museum in Hampshire for a while for the James Bond exhibition - not sure if it's still there :) They also have a selection of the land-speed record breaking Thrusts as well as some famous motor racing cars. Well worth a visit ;)

I saw the "Only Fools and Horses" Reliant van parked by the side of the road in Lundin Links in Fife, recently...... :confused:

It MAY have been a replca. There was one for sale on e bay earlier on this year..total scruffy tat, just like the real thing, and the bidding was up to

Well........

many years ago, I got an invite to Mellor Coachcraft in rochdale, who where refitting the original Adam West Batmobile.......

I used to go to Milton Keynes a bit, and one weekend, I was repeatedly overtaken or left for dead at lights by the same a grey Aston Vanquish.....in the days before it was a finalised model.

Also spent a merry half hour exploring the inside of one of TWO Maybach 62's on hot weather testing in Dubai.

OK, maybe the latter two are not truly "famous" cars, but they are symbols of stardom and wild excess respectively.......

Place to go for new models not yet released is Crawley. I don't know why, I've seen loads of pre-release cars driving around there.

One of my friends also bought a bmw 328 from crawley bmw - only when it eventually arrived it was a 330 (gutted!!) - first one in the country and had to wait a week for dvla to issue a road worthiness certificate!

been to the cars of the stars thing in Keswick... more famous cars in one building then anywhere else i reckon... chitty chitty bang bang an everything...

apparently owned by one crazy mad car nut type bloke...

Saw thrust ssc on the back of a trailer, a few days after they'd broken the land speed record.

Was on A5 near Rugby, kids liked it.

Jonno.(cant remember when it was though)

If you head over to Universal Studios Florida, you can see one of the original film DeLoreans, completely kitted out dash and all.

Round here, we used to have a replica Batmobile running around, but havent seen it in a very very long time.

I saw an "Only Fools and Horses" van in the Algarve this summer - and there's also one always parked up at a haulage yard just off the M74 near J14. I guess the "real" one must be around somewhere !

Mind you, who knows if the ones I saw last night were originals or replicas ?
