Yeah, I think all cars should be used regardless of their exclusivity. Such a waste something like this sitting around!

I saw an Aston Martin One-77 driving along today, the owner said on the news he would use it daily, and sure enough there he was going down the motorway. Awesome.

That is rare!! I know a guy in WA with one of the four race versions of one of those, Matter cage and all, very cool cars and basically a racecar in road trim, built and designed for racing and nothing else.

Rarer still is the E36 M3 GTR road car, just two of those in existence.

Lot of stuf on that car that shouldn't be:

In late 1994, BMW Australia ordered 15 special road-going E36 M3-R models to compete in the Australian Super Production series (GT Production class). Originally built as standard M3 models on the normal German production line, these cars were converted to M3-R specification by Frank Gardiner Racing in Australia and were all completed in March and April of 1995. All 15 coupes are painted Alpine White III (300) with an Anthracite M cloth/Amaretta suede interior, plus the following unique features:

-A retuned version of the 2,990-cc S50 B30 powerplant developed in conjunction with BMW M GmbH and Schnitzer Motorsport GmbH featuring different camshafts, revised intake and exhaust ports, a lightened flywheel and a dual-pickup oil sump (as used in the later S50 B32 motor) . With these changes, the engine was re-rated at 324 hp (DIN) at 7,200 rpm and 258 lb/ft of torque at 4,400 rpm.

-Stronger drivershaft from the E31 850Ci

-Shorter 3.23 final drive

-Reinforced AP Racing clutch

-Top speed limiter removed

-Stiffer BMW Group N springs and shocks

-Larger AP Racing front brake rotors with four-piston calipers, stock rear rotors with AP Racing calipers

-Adjustable front and rear GT spoilers with additional rear rubber lip extensions

-M cross-spoke alloy wheels, sized 7.5x17-inch (front) and 8.5x17-inch (rear)

-Fog lights delete

-Rear "M3" badge delete

-Air conditioning delete

-Radio delete

-Central locking delete

-Check Control system delete

-Non-functional rear seat

-Individually-numbered silver plaque under the parking brake handle
