London Car Diary
September 3rd, 2006 by Dave
I spent the weekend in London, and was amazed by the number of high-end cars I saw driving around. Here’s a diary of some of the things I’ve seen, very notably the Bugatti Veyron and Ferrari F40. There are many cars I saw that I wasn’t able to get pictures of like a Mercedes SLR, Aston Martin Vantage/Vanquish, and many others…but I think these pictures will be good enough! It was not unordinary to see 20+ Bentley’s, 10+ Ferrari’s, and a few Lamborghini’s in a day. There were more Mercedes and BMW’s driving around then any other car make. It was like a rolling car show. Now without further delay, the pics:
Bentley Longbase.
Bentley Interior.
Older V12 Jag.
Ferrari F430 Sighted!
Maserati.
Civic - Euro Style
Aston Martin DB7
Maserati
BMW M5
Interesting modified Benz
Smart Car - Brabus Edition
SL55 AMG - I saw a few SL65 AMG’s, but I wasn’t able to get a picture.
Porsche Turbo
Can’t remember who makes this, but it’s an electric car smaller than a smart car.
Vauxhall Astra - what I believe the Saturn Sky is based on in terms of front-end looks?
Another Ferrari spotted.
MG TF.
Defender.
Best picture I got of a Porsche Cayman
New Ford Focus SVT
Awesome Porsche. I believe the rear badge said RF? Post a comment if you know what kind this is.
Rolls Royce dealership with a couple of Phantom’s. Bentley was right next door.
1 of around 70 Bugatti Veyron’s ($1.1M) parked next to a Rolls Royce Phantom ($320k base price).

A night shot of a Ferrari F40 driving around Oxford Street!
I believe this is the TVR Sagaris - I was only able to get this picture. I saw a few other TVR’s throughout the weekend, but didn’t have the camera out in time.
Acura NSX - aka Honda NSX
Nissan 350Z - JDM Style
Lime Green Lamborghini Gallardio At Harrod’s
Bentley Continental GT - This was by far the car of choice in London, this was the high-end car most seen.
Continental Flying Spur Longbase
Ferrari Superamerica

One of the many Ferrari F430’s seen during the weekend. This seemed to be the Ferrari of choice in London.
