Yeah, I just remember KE70s with questionable styling being all over northern Finland once upon a time, hence the joke, haha.

Im amazed by the fact you’ve never seen one before ESPECIALLY being in SoCal…im in San Diego. I see them every once in a while. Theres actually one that resides on the next block over from me broken down in a driveway. I think whats even more rare than the Allante is the Buick Riatta. You definitely spotted a nice example of one though.

Is it cheating when your workmate owns a rather rare automobile? Lol.

Qvale Mangusta, an early 2000’s Italian sports car powered by a Ford 4.6l V8. Pretty rare car, less than 300 were built.

Wow!!! Less than 300??? I am very lucky to have seen that indeed.

Me and a helper were doing a job at a building in that parking lot and initially when we pulled up that spot was empty. I came out to the van to get something some time later and seen this beautiful black convertible sitting next to the van. I didnt know what it was but I vaguely remember seeimg it in a magazine but i wasnt sure. To my suprise it turned out to be the owner of the business we were working for that day, it was HIS car!! One of his toys apparently, must be NICE :laughing:

The Mangusta’s platform was used as the basis for the MG XPower SV, a short-lived flagship sports car that died out when MG Rover collapsed in 2005. It would not be the first (or last) time an unsuccessful car re-entered production, though.

As for the XPower SV, it didn’t have the build quality, looks, or cachet of its rivals, but at least it had the pace and dynamics to be competitive:

I excuse the picture quality with the fact that I took them around 2000…

I just found this Guards Red 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 while on vacation in Seoul:

With the next Boxster/Cayman migrating to a pure electric platform, I’m expecting the six-cylinder 718 variants (especially the GT4 and Spyder, RS or not) to hold their value much better for years to come.

Certainly not the most exotic car that has been posted here, yet you simply never see the Alfa 155 anymore…

Americans may laugh at me for posting something common as dirt, but in Sweden this generation of Dodge is getting thin on the ground, and I really can’t remember the last time I saw a crew cab.
