Car spotters observing and photographing a Bugatti Veyron outside Harrods in Knightsbridge, London, England

A car spotter is a person who is typically strongly interested, in an amateur capacity, in car spotting, which is observing or photographing interesting, vintage, rare, modified, sport cars and exotic supercars.

Car spotting can be done almost anywhere, but car shows and rallies attract large numbers of carspotters. Spotters may post their shots on social media or dedicated carspotting websites.
