Saw this at The Michael Angelo hotel in Sandton yesterday. Still no plates. Mclaren 650 S Spider. Sadly I couldnt snap a pic.

^ seriously you didn't know? Nissan SA brought a fair number of them in the early 90's. That & the rare 300 ZX was the halo cars.

Yep, plenty of them here in GP.

No I didn't thought they were only imported to SA, haven't seen many in Durban maybe 2 at most this being the 3rd now. Would have liked to see what it drives like, after seeing in NFS so many times.

Close, he used the Trooper's smaller brother, the Isuzu Frontier also known as the Vauxhall/Opel Frontera

Sunny is a Sentra but that looks more Maxima

Spotted this out of the box M6 in a McD's Drive Thru



And let's add his friend; a lone E63 M6 at Paddocks last week.

Not sure if the Audi A7 can be classed as rare but they aren't really a dime a dozen down here:

Only thing holding me back is the 2.4l engine. Really want the 3.0l v6

Might be my new weekender

The alphard is the best selling toyota mpv in Japan. Im still deciding between a 3.0l estima and the alphard.

The alphard has better space and trims. Weights almost 2 tons

 

[Rouxenator]

They have plenty of ugly cars in Japan.
Even Japenese spec models of cars we have here are ugly with extra mirrors and vulgar body kits.

Edit : rather get a Subaru Traviq

Very interesting man; those Japs love those full size MPV's

Where are you based to purchase one?

The 2015 3rd Gen looks even more quirky

Swaziland.


The Il seat layout is awesome with reversible seats to create a lounge. Prefect for the kiddies. It will be a weekend car. The issue is to i get a 2004 estima 3.0l or a 2004 2.4l alphard. 2.4l is underpowered i dont know if i can live with that

The interior looks really good for a Toyota.
