Monkey Boy 1 Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 I was having a think today while driving my Gen 6 over to pick one of my lads up from work, (yes... me thinking is a dangerous thing), but are there any cars in CCUK land which are "Special" in the automotive world.? I know the Celicas are special to all of us, but was thinking more of do any owners have a Celica which is famous for someting. Ex rally car, race car, been in a film, had a famous owner in the past etc., you know what sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briano Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 was on here too dude for I think £4995 in the end still a fair price for a very original car but it did need a new radiator. I would have paid that for a GT4 if i was looking rather than one thats been modded to the hills for £3500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juicygoolies Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Do features in car magazines count? There's a few I know of that have been in mags and probably a lot more I don't know about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planc Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 My Rav4.1 was first owned by Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, it still has the private plate he registered it with. He was a Leeds utd but had to sell it shortly after purchase due to a transfer to Atlético de Madrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
