Rare cars on SA road

[PostmanPot]

Not sure if the rare car police will allow these, but I saw 2 cars I thought was rare this afternoon...

Ooh, not seen that Alfa before. Lovely.

That Brera is so hot! Dammit, I really want one. Sadly closest I every got to one was completed NFS Carbon using just a Brera. In my view it is the ultimate Alfa ever made.

I agree. I need a Brera or Spider in my life!

Brera is very rare, and I am talking more rare than an A4 with DTM and R and S and V8 badges. Saw a JTD on autotrader a week ago, now you cannot find one listed. If you look at it you can see why, how did they get to that design? Sure there are tweaked bits of 159, which is a good thing, but the Brera is more than the sum of its parts. Few cars do that.

Multiple threads, multiple pages, multiple posts... Truly pathetic.

No love for the SLS? That car is crazy cool, and pretty rare too...

If I had to choose between the Brera and the SLS, I know which one I would choose... Not the hatchback.

I have lots of love for any Mercedes. They make the best cars on the planet. But in terms of what I will be able to afford and being a true petrol head the Brera wins.

Do you watch Silicon Valley? Does it have doors that go like this?

SLS for sure, the badge has 2 S' s, amazing.
I don't agree with all the admiration for the Brera.
My favourite Alfa is the RZ/SZ (coupe). Damn ugly but that's why it had character imo, maybe cos we never got it here and I never saw one in the flesh.

Most beautiful Alfa has to be the 8C.

Seeing as money is a factor I'll have to forget about the SLS however that Silicon Valley episode did come to mind. Seriously, the new Halt & Catch Fire season, OMGWTFBBQ. .

That Ranchero is pretty sweet. Does battle with the Lumina Ute down under. They have a racing series that is just Rancheros VS Luminas.... go figure.

Good looking E-Class/5-series competition that I don't see too many of, well except for this one currently stored for family.
Volvo S60 T5


This explains the F-type coupe I posted two weeks ago. Same house, XF with dealership branding on the door.

Belongs to my old man. Bought it for about R40k and has had offers for up to R100k. WTF.

My grandpa had a '73 V8 Ranchero with 3 speed manual gearbox, he never used it much expect when they went on holiday with the caravan.

The one in your pic is based on the '95 Ford Falcon, lovely cars with V6 4l motors that have tones of toque. I had the pleasure to drive a friends XR6 and Fairmont AT on occasion. It was just some of the vehicles we used to commute to Cape Tech as students, good times. Strange that he gets offered that much for the Ranchero. The Fairmonts are pretty much worthless even in good nick.

Yah don't get it either. He's bought and sold cars as a hobby for over 30 years. Could fill this thread with some of the stuff he's owned. Must raid the photo albums some time
