Spotted: rare German coupes

Car spotting is a noble profession that involves standing under the sun and in dust, on overbridges or on the side of the road, waiting to take a photo of a rare car that belongs to someone else. It takes paitence and skill, and our Rooftop Sniper, Shadman, has loads of it.

Classic Mercedes Benz SL with not-so-classic wheels. The cleanliness and presence make up for it in droves.

Some call it ugly, others say it was the resurgence of the big BMW Grand Tourer: Chris Bangle’s 6 series.

Ignore the scrape on the side, this Audi TT still looks fresh enough to eat off. Definitely a future classic.
