Smaller then I expected, they look way more imposing in pictures.

Lancia Delta Integrale, now there's one I have never seen here. It would probably disintegrate in moisture.
Another one sadly we will never see is the Renault Megane RS, unless it is in a video game.

Not only did I see Jay Kay's car, I also saw the Fulvia that will make an appearance in the new PS GT game, it has been digitised including the engine noise..

very rare indeed!

bad obsession motorsports has one of the kits that they're eventually planning on building up, details were buried in one of their videos. but considering that their current build is 75% done after nearly 7 years, it'll be a while before they get to it!

Nope. Rally car driver is all I guessed. ...googles...

Ah. Nice, so it's a hobby for him. He needs to go scratch it up.

He's a bit of a car guy.. I remember reading about his Enzo.. Ferrari had offered him an opportunity to buy one but he had only seen red ones, didn't like'em much.. He then saw a black one and bingo!! He had to get one..

Sunday count:

Started with the Alfa (photo), then a stroll to the local gas station to buy the Sunday paper, happen upon the following, sadly no photos, they were moving and I'm too slow with my camera...

Lamborghini - no idea which one, too many in my neighborhood to care..

Lotus Evora

Datsun 1500 pick-up (circa late 70s or early 80s, stock photo attached)

Sunbeam Alpine (white)

Various hot hatches - of note a Hyundai i30N and a Yaris GR

I laughed so hard when you posted this since I had one in my hand at that very moment.

The picture you showed (in North America at least) would be a 73 to 76. The 77 and up had the rubber bumperettes added to the front bumper for "safety".
