The other day I was trying to come up with a list of new/nearly new cars that are a bit different and possibly fun to own but I really struggled. There was a time when Saabs, Volvos, and Citroens were a bit different but not anymore, well, maybe the DS5? Or am I wrong? Any suggestions? I don't care about performance or handling, just something different.
Quirky, characterful, rare

A 3 wheeler will test your resolve like you wouldn't believe!

Won't be testing my resolve unless it comes with someone to warm the spoons and apply the butter to get me in and out of it.:fail

How about a Vauxhall VXR8? That could be fun' different and useful, especially the ute version.
^^this^^
Just need to turbo charge it to make a decent amount of torque where it counts..
Honestly seen Pagani Zonda, even a damn Bugatti but never an NSX!

Nissan cube looks quirky. No idea what it's really like. But I imagine a bland drive.
One ute on autotrader for £50k. Also, one NSX for half that.

Saw one about 12 years ago. There was a Honda dealer, just of Chiswick rbt. and they had one in.
Then, I saw another one on A5 near Shewsbury last year, on the way to Wales.
Havent seen Veyron in the flesh yet

I think they are on par with the Testarossa for sheer road rarity.

That are quirky, characterful & rare? The only one that springs to mind is the Citroen C6. Now, if we were talking the 70's or 80's...

You probably mistook it for a Prelude...
