...#3, the big one! Ford GT40, what an insane machine. It has the iconic gulf livery as well, I was extremely excited once that popped up. I've previously seen a 2005 GT here, now I just need to spot my favourite generation, the 2017 GT. Happy Halloween everyone, hope you enjoy these spots/pictures.

Absolutely mental to see a car like this on public roads! Fantastic spot man!
ST22HTV - 2024-10-31 at 17:39
@sanderwubs no, but the owner also has loads of cars like a Pagani Utopia.
Hyenaboy - 2024-10-31 at 18:34
Btw, I believe this is a Superformance GT40 (which is more of a continuation model).

Mind blowing spot mate! I’ve been lucky enough to spot one of these too, but one would say that in Monaco it’s too easy… on the other hand, seeing one in Alderley Edge is just crazy! I have to come there sooner or later
ST22HTV - 2024-10-31 at 19:07
@Dalzzz thanks a lot. That's insane you've seen one but still, in Monaco they must be 'more common'
JJMad - 2024-10-31 at 19:09
Insane spot! Probably is a continuation like @Hyenaboy says as the date of its first registration is in 2000. Unreal find all the same!
ST22HTV - 2024-10-31 at 20:38
@JJMad thanks, you're probably correct but still, it will be expensive
ST22HTV - 2024-10-31 at 20:40
@Hyenaboy finger's crossed... Thanks for voting by the way, much appreciated

Thats absolutely unbelievable! Congratulations! Is this real or replica? I have seen one in summer too (on oneliferally), it was a green GT40, which was a rebuilt road legal version of a REAL burned GT40. So that car is 50% replica and 50% real. Again congratulations on this spot!
BrickShark - 2024-10-31 at 21:07
This is probably replica, since real GT40 cost like $10 million and almost never driven.
ST22HTV - 2024-10-31 at 22:19
@BrickShark thank you very much. Still, a replica can cost lots of money too!
ST22HTV - 2024-10-31 at 22:24
@BrickShark amazing that you saw a 50% real GT40. I believe this one is a rebuild but can still cost over 200k

Congrats on SOTD mate deserved to the T! You know it's been over 3 months since your last, so glad you got it well overdue! 🏆
BrickShark - 2024-10-31 at 22:38
Still nice! Did it sound awesome, btw? Because the one I saw sounded absolutely mind-blowing @ST22HTV
ST22HTV - 2024-11-01 at 01:21
@Rostyslav thanks. In fact, I won exactly one year ago (last Halloween) as well with my Onyx Aventador SX
Exotics of Lithuania - 2024-11-01 at 02:00
These GT40s are such racing legends. Can't forget how they dominated LeMans in the 60s. This example looks especially stunning in this gulf paint scheme.
ST22HTV - 2024-11-01 at 10:40
@Rostyslav I hope so, you've probably won the most SOTD in the UK this year
ST22HTV - 2024-11-01 at 10:40
[@Exotics of Lithuania] thank you very much. You are absolutely correct!
Horse-Power - 2024-11-01 at 12:22
Epic Halloween post, buddy. Once again a huge congrats on achieving 1200 spots here on AG.. Bravo. Have yourself a great up and coming weekend, Linus.
joos straetmans - 2024-11-01 at 17:34
Nice spot. Strange that OMN18 does not give a hit on vehicle enquiry.
ST22HTV - 2024-11-01 at 19:25
@Hyenaboy just a tip for your pictures, don't zoom into the cars because that makes the quality of the pictures lower. That's why I guess the F40 was deleted. I know it's annoying
ST22HTV - 2024-11-01 at 19:26
[@joos straetmans] thank you. Yes, the registration doesn't appear on any reg check website. Odd
AndeleBFotografie - 2024-11-01 at 19:47
Wow, truly a stunning car and spot!! I know you like modern cars better in general, I'd choose this over the 2017
Hyenaboy - 2024-11-01 at 20:42
@ST22HTV Neither does MDB 888 (formerly on a silver Urus, currently on an orange Aventador Roadster).
Hyenaboy - 2024-11-01 at 23:06
@ST22HTV Apparently, my Urraco spot didn’t have a rear view, even though it literally did.
Also, in regards to MDB 888, I was referring to how the plate doesn’t show up on any plate-check sites.
Hyenaboy - 2024-11-01 at 23:09
Also, I just had a look at the newsletter: this spot is the overall top spot from yesterday (as in, it got the most votes of any SOTD spot).
spots.by.renzo - 2024-11-02 at 00:12
Incredible find! Saw one at the track a long time ago, amazing car!
Hyenaboy - 2024-11-02 at 13:36
The Urraco was spotted in Alderley Edge yesterday. (Not by me, unfortunately).
Hyenaboy - 2024-11-02 at 14:10
@ST22HTV True. And I can imagine you can guess who did see it yesterday?
ST22HTV - 2024-11-02 at 20:13
@Hyenaboy ah, ok. I hope that I (my family) can have a nice sports car at some point.
Hyenaboy - 2024-11-02 at 23:35
@ST22HTV Speaking if MDB888: I think the Aventador is probably the rarest Lamborghini I have up currently.
ST22HTV - 2024-11-02 at 23:56
@Hyenaboy I'd say so, the STO is more common. My rarest Lamborghini is the Aventador onyx SX 1/15
ST22HTV - 2024-11-03 at 07:11
@Hyenaboy your rarest is actually the Mansory Venatus coming to think of it. My rarest spot in general is the Onyx 8XX (1/5)
Nemanja 8.32 - 2024-11-03 at 09:49
it is legendary find, incredible color, and huge luck to catch this monster 👌
ST22HTV - 2024-11-03 at 11:01
[@Nemanja 8.32] thank you very much. Definitely a spotting high for me!
ST22HTV - 2024-11-03 at 15:32
@tk97 bedankt, de Gulf-kleurstelling is zo iconisch. Het is ook gek om te zien hoe laag het in het echt is!
CC36 - 2025-04-20 at 21:49
@ST22HTV @Hyenaboy I think this looks more like the MkII than the MkI. Do you agree?
PatrickC - 2025-09-10 at 12:54
Your comment section is like a forum of it's own, lol. Nice spot mate! 🍺
