Seen a '60's Aston Martin DB5 (the one James Bond ejected people out the roof type) in Luxembourg last year, a beautifully sculpted car, silver and chromed spoked wheels glistening in the sun, beautiful!

The best looking car i've driven so far the E31 840Ci



I saw a turquoise one in Ranelagh!

It's one of those cars from those small independent car makers, it looks like a Spyker but it isn't.

Did a numberplate check and it came up without a make/model but it does say it has a 3947cc engine and was registered in 1990.

It's obviously a kit car then.

Exotic....as in rare - saw a Renault Fuego the other day, does that count 

Did you know that the biggest engine from the fuego range was shared with the De Lorean!!

F50 is a good spot, I think the rarest I have ever seen was a Maybach in the city centre, D Reg!!


I've seen that Black Maybach a few times on Dawson St. It belongs to some developer but I can't, for the life of me, remember what his name is. Can't say it looks anything much for a quarter of a million quid car.

Saw an F355 in the Pavillions in Swords yesterday. The middle 5 was missing from the badge and the car just looked too scruffy to be true. Think it may have been an MR2 in F355 get up. Didn't see the interior so can't be sure.

There was something about the Maybach 62 in the Irish Times Motors supplement recently (here...).  They are the bigger and more expensive version but yoou can have one for €693,000. The 57 is UK£267K so after converting to Euro, accounting for more VAT and throwing 33%VRT on the retail price, it weighs in at a lot more than a quarter of a million.
I see them frequently when at work (in Stillorgan). I see absolutely nothing inspiring in them!

Me either. But then I think they are a very passenger focussed car. What did
Simon Cowel say on Top Gear? "You'll never get bored in a Maybach" or
something.

When I was going down to Ballyvaughan (see the other thread for what I did!) on Friday. I saw near Daingean Co. Offaly what looked like a Bently estate

I did not think such a car existed. It looked to be a current model.
