Apparently only 8 of the Fiat's were ever built before being used by Jaguars ( I thought they looked similar).

There was a classic car rally in Topcliffe about two weeks ago at which were three or four of them. They'd all been driven hard off road that day. Good to see them being used properly.Not the greatest photo, but I spotted this old volvo in the street the other day:

Having just watched the Wheeler Dealers episode, a bit of French car porn:
Renault Alpine A310. A handsome beast, although not quite as pretty as its predecessor, the A110:
I love fast Renaults of all stripes but I am particularly smitten by the RS01.

Not a million miles from the photo from Idris, Here is Guy Martin's blinged Volvo

It's definitely not even close. It couldn't live with a P1, LF or 918. Guy Martin is full of shit.

It's not the fastest, but if it really can do 0-60 in 3 seconds and 205mph it's pretty much up there and you'd look a lot less of a cunt driving that than a P1 etc.

I saw one of these parked in a town nearby today:

Really strange to see such a vehicle in a small provincial French town.

It runs a 67mm turbo that takes a long time to spool up and has no TC so it's very difficult to launch on street tyres. There's loads of videos of it on YT where it munches 458s, etc. but always in a roll-on, never from a standing start.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that considering he knows a thing or two about fast vehicles, he was engaging in a wee bit of poetic license there.
And it is significantly cooler than any of the vehicles you mention.

Renault seem to really like Audi's R8.I love fast Renaults of all stripes but I am particularly smitten by the RS01.

Speaking of Audi R8s......
Is that woman trying to break in?

Yeah, but at least with all the Renault logos all over it, fewer people would come up to you and go, 'oh, an Audi TT, nice'.

True, if you going to spend north of £100K on a motor the least you need is an exotic badge!

You need 400k+ for the Renault and you can't drive it on the street!

And you'd be driving a French engineered rip-off of a German design, by the looks of it. I mean come on, obviously aerodynamics make many cars look similar, but that's taking the piss.

1957 Tojeiro Climax. It's hard to believe that the chassis of this delicate 1100cc jewel would end up in the vulgar Cobra via the Ace.

Clams on the half shell, and roller skates.
That 1957 Tojeiro Climax sure is pretty, but my goodness, surely the Cobra is one of the greatest, most desirable cars ever made. Admittedly that's not necessarily contrary to being vulgar.

I think it's cachet has been diluted by a million Rover/small block Chev V8 engined kit car replicas.

That could be the lovely car I saw in town a few years back and was trying to ID
What vintage super car did I see?

A relative of mine has(had) one. He also has an ex-Luftwaffe Starfighter, Saab Viglen and a Lightning. He collects things rather than uses them, which, in the case of the car, is a shame.Car porn; a ford escort? Remember these, totally bonkers. This one is for sale with an equally bonkers price!

That's an RS200. No wonder the prices are bonkers: as the name suggests they only made 200, and a fair few of those went straight to rally teams. In a similar - Group B lunacy - vein, the Peugeot 205 T16:
