Probably the only person with a CSK and a In Vogue on here although certainly not the only person with a Range Rover Classic; Couple of old Daimlers in the family too, 1949 DB18 Drophead and a V8250.

What's wrong with wanting a bit of exclusivity though? Surely that's the reason most of us modify our cars. There's lots of threads on here about cars that have been modified to personalise them to our tastes and make them exclusive, I'm fact there's a whole section dedicated to it- it's called "Readers Rides"... I thought the idea of a thread for cars that are unique on here simply because of what they are, as opposed to what has been done to them, was quite interesting- as with anything on here, if one isn't interested, one can peruse the forum until they find something more to one's tastes Admittedly, it would be better if people stuck to the spirit of the thread more. E.g. the Range Rovers are both very nice and very unusual, but they are also 2 door Range Rover classics, of which there are many. A picnic hamper and an extra badge does not a Chesney make

Was waiting for Bickle to come in and win the thread I know there are other Sunny B310 coupes on here, and engine swaps/modifications being unique is basically what makes this forum what it is.. so my engine swap doesn't count

A picnic hamper and an extra badge does not a Chesney make How about a badge/certificate for a limited run many years after 2 door Range Rovers left the showroom in the UK? I agree, lots of 2 door Range Rovers, not so many numbered limited editions incorporating slightly more than "a badge and a hamper" (200 to be exact and about 60 left that are known of). I would guess it's how you perceive these things. So, in the true spirit of this; 1949 DB18 Drophead "Charlesworth" body, one of 3 known and only 2 left on the road last I heard, although there are other cars made by Daimler on here so not sure if this counts either...

Here's how I work it out: 1 I have a [make] [model] (ie: Ford Escort not Ford Escort Popular/Bonus/1600) 2 I do not know of any others 3 Post in thread. 4 Win bonus points for modifications 5 Do not take seriously, enjoy thread content.
That Talbot Alpine - which is the first modified Talbot Alpine I've EVER seen in the history of everything - is pretty much a poster child for CHS.

I used to own a LHD Mitsubishi Tredia. I only knew of one other RHD one in the UK. God I loved that car. High/low range box, glorious mouse fur interior and boxy enough to make a Volvo 240 look like an E type. Great car.

You missed my Lada Niva off the list I'm not going back through it all again! Anyway, I think there's another Niva on here anyway, unless I'm confusing forums... I'm pretty sure there's a white one.

I can definately play along with this. Ok, so technically, it's not actually mine but my Dad's, but either way I'll probably be the one doing the restoration work on and maybe even inherit it Morris Commercial LC05T 2Ton payload, twin wheel, factory diesel. The ONLY truck of this type known to the Morris Owners register We were going to do an engine conversion to Gardner power, but after learning of it's uniqueness we couldn't bring ourselves to do it! I know KevBarlas has a camper but I think we have the only pickup on here, and certainly the only 5-speed Turbo Diesel one
