The M40 down from about the A43 into London.

The main commuter route for the richest part of the UK.

I don't think there has ever been a time along there when I haven't seen anything interesting.

TVRs, Porsches and Ferraris can be see regularly.
I've seen many Bentley Conti GTs, a few Phantoms, Lotus 340R, Shelby Cobra Daytona (probably a replica, it was being trailered).

I've only been to England once, so I don't count, but when I was there (for a couple of days) I saw a TVR Cerbera in downtown London which was pretty damn cool because obviously we don't get them down here. I would have liked to stay longer.

I live in Australia, but I have been to America Japan Germany and recently London and I must admit that London has the best cars driving around out of all of these countries.
I saw a Z8 that would probably be my favourite.

I saw one of those in New York City once.......wow that car is completly unmistakeable for anything else. It's just.........the z8, there is nothing else that looks like it.

I saw a Z8 taking a turn around a sharp corner going pretty fast where I live. And like CdocZ said "it is unmistakable". there is nothing like it. I also saw a porsche speeding through this short road near my local supermorket, it sounded awesome punching through the gears. These sightings were not in the UK tho they were in Canada.

jaguar XJ220 On the M25 J7 last week. silver and ragged it. we was in a ford tranist van doing about 90mph when you just heard a massive V6 coming from no where then about 5 seconds later it came past (only see it for a bout 3 seconds) he must have been doing 130mph + easy. that was closely followed by a caterham super 7 CSR and a Ford GT40 MkIV. With a Black Ferrari Enzo the following day ( j kay ), and an jaguar XJR15, Mclaren SLR (parked in whitehall)

I know but it kind of turned from "best car you've seen in the UK" to "best car you've seen anywhere". Oh well.

heres some i saw when i went to london last year

I wonder if anyone has noticed the Front Number Plate on that Hummer H2, it is an Arabic Number Plate and all the numbers are 6's very interesting. Anyhow, I have seen several Ferraris including a 250 GT California, Lamborghinis, Rolls Royces, Bentleys, TVRs, Aston Martins, and many others on Oxford Street in London.
