What rare motors have you dealt with recently?  For me, this has to be there with that sighting of bigfoot.  Got to grips with this thing

 

Lancia Beta Coupe Volumax - supercharged  No real rust trouble, and original 50,000 miles.  One of 150 made, and its believed one of about 50 still around (It is a Lancia after all....)

Helping my brother restore his 1989 Daihatsu Charade GTti. Second time he's owned the car.

Currently only 58 left, only 13 actually on the road, soon to be 14.

Imported from South Africa?

What a beauty! It's a crying shame what FCA have done with Lancia these days :(

I love looking at rare stuff like this 

 

I had several FIAT 132's in the early 1980's.  Was offered a Beta Coupe, but turned it down because I preferred my 132.  I occasionally look for them, more from a rose tinted glasses perspective than any serious intent.  Last time I looked there were allegedly half a dozen left in the UK.  So I took a peek just now and look what turned up:

It sounded pretty awesome too.  A little carb'y as it was cold but very nice

 

4dr Fabia count? Lol

 

 . . and cheaper than a new Fabia!

Fantasy green Fabia :p

 

 . . and cheaper than a new Fabia!

But where will you find a good one which hasn't been seriously abused?  If you do, it will cost you at least a Superb, never mind a Fabia!

I went to the Black Country Museum at the weekend and they had a Frisky car - never seen one before - a bit like a 1950's Smart car. (or  a pedal car with an engine!)

Is that the same as the Polo they did with different coloured doors, bonnet, roof, etc? Used to be a Polo round our way for a few years. What did the V5 say the colour was?

Wish I still had my Lupo GTi :( - only 995 sold in the UK (suppose that doesn't make them particularly rare).

Harlequin polo and colour concept golf are different.

Golf are bright colour green red blue yellow and matching full leather inside. The polo would be classed as whichever colour the shell was with what I can remember one base colour was rarer than the rest but not sure which. Some people have made harlequin golf's though

How about a Bitter SC .. seen in Smithfield Market London 

That was it, Harlequin Polo. Probably seemed like a good idea at the time. Or not!

My Classic Mini pick up is quite a rare vehicle now..... 88 showing on the how many left website....
