Default Whats the rarest car you know about?

I think we all know about a rare model of car that few people have heard of. Here is my unknown star performer.

It is called the DAX Kamala it is a kit car made by DAX. The gearstick is on the right of the driver as this is where the gearbox is located although the car is a left hand drive.

With a Cosworth engine you can get to 60mph in just 3.5 seconds and the kit cost is about £13,000 plus an old cosworth donor car.

Thats getting into the Al Gore "known knowns and unknown knowns speech!"

I'm sure there is a V8 Turbo mini that I don't know about.

Default Re: Whats the rarest car you know about?

i know of a few cars not rare that you dont ever see them but rare in the fact that you dont see them everyday and they are all immaculate condition and low mileage

1, a rolls royce silver shadow in white
2, a 1986 sierra rs cosworth in white
3, a 1991 renault 5 gtt in white 2 owners from new 30,000 on the clock and totally standard apart from a side exit exhaust
4, a vw country in like a graphite grey
5, a 1982 mk1 jetta in mars red
6, an escort rs cosworth in greeny/blue horrible colour but a nice car
7, a rover p6 i think thats what they're called

the cars i havent put years on im not sure as they all have private plates

i would have to say the Gumpert Apollo race car made by the competitions chief of audi when they were making the quattro for rally

http://www.arikah.net/commons/en/c/c...ollo_Dubai.jpg

The Apollo is a 1100 kg, street-legal race car with up to 650 hp and 627 lb·ft of torque. sporting a 4.2L audi V8 with a six-speed sequential gearbox. The estimated top speed is 224 mph with 0–62 mph reached in 3.0 seconds, making it the 9th best accelerating production car in the world.

I saw that car on www.cartuningtips.com Steve09 - its interesting to hace the background on it. Wow if only all Audi's looked like that!

Not seen a Tickford Capri in ages - they still look sharp even today! Thanks for the pics Herb.

Well, mine is the only supercharged marea weekend in the world (unless you can tell me different) so that's prety rare.
