Went to Wilmslow today and in the showroom was a 918. It's for sale, original owner is selling. No idea how much, I think you'd need a credit check just to find out the price!

Anyway if you want to see one of only 5 918s in the UK take a trip if you live locally. I have to warn you though, it's Brown!

Only 5? Maybe that's UK registered ones. I reckon I've seen more than twice that number 'in the metal' in the UK. Some had German plates or no plate at all (unregistered?), but at least three with UK plates. I wasn't allowed to take pictures, but they are etched in my mind.

They are truly fabulous looking machines :worship:

The owner of that car must have taken it out for a single trip to Halfords - to buy that cup holder.

Please tell me it is not a factory fitment :eek: :eek: :eek:

There are more than 5 for sure - 6 of my customers have UK registered ones.

Btw the launch control in these things is crazy.

That's what the saleswoman at Wilmslow told me. 'Five UK registered 918s.'

I don't know the numbers but she must be wrong. I've personally seen (at least) 5 UK registered cars and as they built 918 it's not as though it's that rare a car.

All 918 now built:

The guy at Wilmslow said it will most likely have an exotic name but I doubt it was 'Dog ***** Brown'! :hand:
