Might not be super obscure. But I also enjoy high performance vehicles, and you don't see many Brabus models of any Merc on the road:

1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA. Only 501 were made.

When people hear the words Alfa Romeo, they do not think of a jeep. But this is a 1952 Alfa Romeo 1900M AR51. Italian jeep with a twin-cam engine with aluminum heads.

This video always makes me laugh The Reliant Robin is not as reliant as the name suggests.

Never thought id be less claustrophobic about the peel 50 after seeing it do a wheelie in north london

I thought the Tucker 48 was ahead of its time, but it's got nothing on this thing I found out about from a video I watched today. This is the Tatra 77a, a Czech car made between 1935 and 1938. I have never seen a car from the 30s that looks like this thing before, as it easily looks like something that would come out 30 years later.

1975 Holden Kingswood SL Vacationer. It's from Australia. I'm not sure how unusual they are, but in Norway they are rarer than hens' teeth.

This 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR was recently sold for 142 million dollars. Mercedes had two in their car museum, so they sold one.

142. Million. US Dollars. That's five kinds of crazy.
