5 Most Rare & Unknown Sports Cars Ever Made!

5 Most Rare & Unknown Cars Ever Made!
Today, we're taking a ride through the world of rare sports cars that most people have never heard of. These aren't your everyday speed machines - they're the underdogs, the hidden gems of the automotive world.
First up, we've got the Swallow Doretti. This British beauty was only made for about a year in the 1950s. It may have had a short life, but it left a big mark. With its sleek Italian-inspired design and innovative tubular steel frame, the Doretti was a head-turner that could really move.
Next, let's zoom over to the Clan Crusader. This little powerhouse from the 1970s proves that good things come in small packages. Made almost entirely of fiberglass, the Crusader was super light and nimble. It may have looked tiny, but it could run circles around bigger cars on twisty roads.
Now, shrink down even more with the Berkeley SE328. This miniature marvel hit the streets in 1957. It was so small you could practically park it in your living room! But don't let its size fool you - with its lightweight design and clever engineering, the SE328 could zip around town and sip fuel like nobody's business.
Shifting gears, we've got the OSCA MT4. This Italian speed demon was born from racing royalty - it was created by the Maserati brothers after they left their famous company. The MT4 might have had a small engine, but it was so light it could outrun cars with twice the power. It even won major races against much bigger competitors!
Last but not least, there's the Cisitalia 202. This car was so beautiful it ended up in an art museum! But it wasn't just a pretty face - the 202 was also a performance powerhouse. Its smooth, flowing design was revolutionary for its time and influenced car styling for decades.
These rare rides might not be household names, but they each made their mark on automotive history. They show that sometimes the most interesting stories come from the underdogs - the small companies and passionate designers who dared to do something different.

7:57 that's the wrong Lotus Elan, surely you can find a picture of the proper year model on google?

Specially as it's so much more common and recognisable...

In profile, the Swallow Doretti looks almost exactly like the Austin Healey 100 (and later 3000), introduced in 1953. As an aside, William Lyons (founder of the original Swallow Sidecars and later Jaguar companies) later killed off the prototype Rover P6BS (a V8 mid-engined sportscar) because he feared it would take sales away from his Jaguar E-Type. The Lotus Elan M100 pictured is from 1989. The Elan from the 60's and early 70's was much smaller, sleeker, lighter and far better looking.
