Spotted for sale #9

This weeks spotted for sale car of the week is a limited edition Lamborghini Murcielago, it's called the Prindiville and as you can see it has many different features than the standard Murcielago. First of all you will probably notice the body-kit, mostly the rear diffuser as it does stick out a bit. There are only 5 of these Murcielago Prindiville's in the world and this is the only one in Europe. This Murcielago also has a different style exhaust which not only looks different but also increases performance.
I do not own these images.
 The interior of the car is also a bit different aside from the red/black colours the bespoke interior re-trim with high-grade precision milled aluminium jewelry around it. This car has 360-degree external camera coverage along side a 1000 watt entertainment system with TV, DVD, satnav, security tracking and rear parking sensors; making it a truly unique car. Check out a video of this car in the Video section of this blog!


This car has only covered 5000 miles since it was new in 2005, so it's barely been used. This car is being sold by Prindiville but is advertised on the Auto Trader UK website, view the advert here.
Price: £230,000.

Wrecked #8


This weeks wrecked post consits of a Ferrari 458 Italia that was crashed in China, as you can see from the pictures it is a very, very bad crash and the car is completely written off. The Ferrari had 3 people in when it crashed, the young driver was the son of a prominent Chinese government official, with him in the car were 2 female passengers both sat in the passenger seat, none of them were wearing seatbelts. Unfortunatly the driver of the car was killed on impact and the 2 girls
were sent to hospital with serious injuries, what theire fete is, I don't know, but may the driver Rest In Peace. China has censored this crash and even removed all search engine results for the term 'Ferrari'. You can view this post here and also check out Wrecked Exotics for more images/stories of wrecked cars. Thank you for reading, more posts coming soon! :-)

Spotted for sale #8


This week I have found an incredibly rare car for sale, it's a 1958 Ferrari 250 GT Series Cabriolet. There are only 40 of these cars in the world, and how many of them have actually lasted this long, I do not know. I'm not really a huge fan of classic cars however I have to admit, this one is beautiful, everything about it is just perfect. I also love the way that classic Ferrari's are engineered by men in workshops rather than scientists in research labs, it gives the cars so much more passion and flare.
I do not own these images.
This particular 250 GT Cabriolet has only had one owner over the last 30 years, the mileage is not specified but I would imagine it's incredibly low, as you can see form the images, this car is in almost perfect condition. The Ferrari 250 GT Cabriolet has a tiny 3.0l V12 engine, this one has has been restored in 1991 by KTR Engineering. This Ferrari 250 GT Series Cabriolet is for sale on James List.
Price: £2,264,779.

Wrecked #7

This weeks wrecked post is another slightly unusual one. There's no point in writing a lot about it, the picture explains it all. A Chevrolet Corvette crashed through a shop window, as you can see the 'Vette is well lodged into this post office in Florida. According to the description under the photo it was a 72 year old woman driving the insanely powerful, rear-wheel drive V8 monster when the crash took place. I'm not being ageist but a 72 year old lady shouldn't be driving such a car, when she clearly can't handle it properly. The Corvette isn't the sort of car that you can just expect to be able to drive, it has a V8 engine, rear-wheel drive and the engine is at the front, so the rear wheels don't have much traction. Thank you for reading this post and as usual, the images aren't mine, they are from Wrecked Exotics. View this article and more here.

Spotted for sale #7

This weeks I have spotted a Rolls-Royce Ghost for sale, but not just any Ghost, this one is modified by Fenice Milano, it's called the Diva, so I think you can probably tell how this is going to look. Let me just give you a bit of information on Rolls-Royce before I tell you more about this car. Rolls-Royce was founded by Charles Rolls and Henry Royce in Manchester, in 1906. Rolls-Royce has always produced luxury British, hand-built cars (although now the company is


owned by BMW) and this 'Diva' model has nothing British about it, it's all 24kt cold and very 'in your face', just look at it! Personally I think it's hideous, although others may disagree, of course. In my opinion Rolls-Royce should be painted dark Grey, Black, Silver or dark Green as it just keeps the look a bit more classy. Anyway, more on this particular car; it's essentially a modified Rolls-Royce Ghost, it has Pearl White

paint with 24kt gold bonnet, grill and small body-kit. The interior of the car is also covered in Gold with White/Cartier leather covering the seats and dashboard. The rims are 22" and are finished in Pearl White paint with 24kt Gold lips for high performance tires. For more information visit the advert on James List.
Price: £911,295.

I do not own any of these images.

Wrecked #6

I do not own this image.
This weeks wrecked post is an unusual one, this Porsche 911 got stuck in cement after the driver got too impatient an went to take a shortcut around some traffic cones! This happened in San Francisco, not sure where exactly, I'm just going on the information provided with the photo. As you can see the workmen are trying to push the Porsche out as quickly as possible so it doesn't get stuck and need cutting out! Unfortunately the cement will have to be re-done, however on the plus side, no one was injured, apart from the car ;-). Check out the Wrecked Exotics Home Page for more wrecked cars! The link to this specific article is here.

Spotted for sale #6



This weeks spotted for sale car of the week is a very special one, a Mercedes-Benz AMG CLK GTR. Number 17 of only 25 made; so it is an extremely rare car. This is one of the last of the Le-Mans style hardcore track-yet-road-legal hyper cars from the 1990's, and you have to say, it looks fabulous. I love the way it has such a hardcore track going look, it looks absolutely evil.



The chances of seeing one of these cars is incredibly small, mostly because there are only 25 in the world but also because it is so exclusive and difficult to drive on regular roads, most of these amazing cars will be locked away and only see the light of day when their owners unleash them at concourse events. This car costs as-near-as makes no difference 1 million pounds, and only has 1492 miles on the clock since it was made in 2000, so it is in immaculate condition.


Check out James List to see the advert for this incredible car! Thanks for reading :-)
Price: £953,128
