Default ABT Widebody Audi TT + a Noble GTO (some version)

I'm not sure if I got the name right, but it is a wide body Audi TT by ABT, Its very very rare in the UK, and I saw it parked in the carpark today as I was leaving Goodwood Festival of Speed (I might post my event pictures from there too tonight).



and now I am home, I have spotted an M5 in the pic too, but I didnt see it then

And just as I was driving out, this beauty drove in, so I stopped and stuck the camera out the window , its had a tough life, and it bottomed out here, you can see the dip he just came down!

That Audi is interesting, but I don't think its a car I'd buy, but looks like a high quality job at least. Too bad about the M5, I noticed it too, and was wondering why you didn't have pics of it...then read your post, haha oh well.

How common are the Noble's in England?

It's a Noble M400...you can tell it's one of the more recent 3.0L models by the faired-in headlights (the 3.0 was launched originally with the M12 GTO -- 2.5L -- front clamshell and open headlights)...and you can tell that it's the M400 because of the flared side-scoops...the M12 GTO-3 and 3R don't have that characteristic.

There were a lot of nice cars in the car park, however, once I had started driving, there was no-where for me to stop easily to take pictures, and most of the cars I saw from a distance (BIG car park!!) and wasnt close enough, but here are a couple of others I did see:

i'm still inside the M25, but only just, I live near a town called Esher, the big landmark area for car enthusiasts for me really is Brooklands and McLaren (Woking), also, I live in the village where AC Cars first designed and made the AC Cobra, but that building no longer exists

so no, I dont live in Brighton but kinda close, its easy to get to
