If you like your off-roaders to be fast, mean and moody then the RR Sport fitted with Jaguar’s 390 BHP AJ V8 Supercharged 4.2 fits the bill very nicely. With its swooping roof-line and low, purposeful stance the Sport version of Land Rover’s multi-purpose land-crab grabs attention wherever it goes.

Did you know that the RR Sport actually shares its platform with the Series 3 Discovery rather than the Range Rover itself? There must be some technical reason for choosing the layout of the Disco but from the outside you would never guess they were related so closely.

OK enough of the techno-babble and on to the tasty Java Black RR Sport we have just placed on our books. This example has one hell of a specification and it is highly unlikely that you will find one option that has been missed from the LR shopping list.

SatNav, DVD, TV, Rear Screens, 22″ Overfinch Alloys, Overfinch Tailpipes, Heated Rear Seats are just a small part of this car’s massive spec. Best of all the mileage on this HST Sport is ultra-low at only 20000 miles and the car still has the balance of the manufacturer’s warranty.

Aston Martin DBS Volante for sale

Henrik Fisker is a very talented car designer. Why? Well because he is credited with putting the finishing touches to the DB9 after Ian Callum started the original pencil sketches. If Henrik designed no other car in his lifetime then he would indeed go down as one of the all-time greats because of his efforts with the DB9.

However, he now has his own car company and already he is busy creating more pant-wettingly gorgeous designs. There are several more masterpieces on the way from Henrik we suspect especially if the pretty Fisker Karma is anything to go by.

Back to the DB9. It is beautiful. If aliens landed and wanted to take back a souvenir from Earth to remind them of some of the nicer encounters during their visit they would pick a DB9. And why not? Is it not universally acclaimed as one of the prettiest cars ever produced?

Yes, the E-Type did end up in a few art galleries but try and find one now. And yes, there have been some blinders from Ferrari and Lambo but the Aston just exudes style, poise and class at every level. But then we are biased of course because we come from Blighty.

Can you do better then a DB9? Well how about a DBS then? Looking a little more aggressive cosmetically (without hurting the orginal stunning looks of the DB9) and offering an additional 40 BHP over the 470 on offer in the DB9’s V12. Extensive use of aluminium, carbon fibre and magnesium alloy means the car is light on its feet and 0-60 mph is seen off in a little over 4 seconds. Top speed is a whisker under 200 mph. Say no more.

If you want to feel the wind in your hair while savouring the extra performance of the DBS then you can have the Volante with its convertible roof and equally stunning good looks.

And better still, if you want a brand-new one now we can get you a DBS Volante with the following spec:-

Morning Frost White (special order from Aston Martin), Obsidian Black leather interior with Silver stitching, Black Hood, Piano Black fascia trim and 10-spoke Diamond Graphite alloy wheels.

Interested? Then give us a call on ++44 (0)1474 854490 to find out a lot more about this gorgeous car.

How about a cool-looking Black Series SL65 in er…black? Well Obsidian Metallic to be precise. Would it be possible for Merc to produce a more mental car? 670 bhp, 0-60 mph in 3.8 seconds and top speed sensibly limited to 198 mph. Well getting caught going twice over the legal limit would be something but three times might be pushing it. Even the police ‘copters would have trouble keeping up with this SL.

If you have 255 Large Ones languishing in your bank account then consider the following:-

One of only 8 right-hand-drive cars produced for the UK and built in September 2009 this SL65 is unregistered and looking for a new owner. The car has a Labrador leather anthracite interior, DVD Comand, Media Interface, Adaptive Bi-xenons, Interior Motion Sensor, Keyless Go, Parktronic, Carbon interior pack, Climate etc etc and most of all is very, very fast.

Quote from Wikipedia on the car…”The new SL65 AMG Black Series coupe features a carbon-fibre fixed roof, front fenders, hood, trunk lid, and front and rear aprons. With the absence of retractable roof hardware, the car is more than 550 pounds lighter than the standard SL. AMG placed a modified version of the 6.0-liter AMG V12 engine that now delivers 670 bhp (500 kW) and 738 lb·ft (1,001 N·m) of torque. This is the same 6.0L engine as used in the previous SL65 model with remapped timing and fuel curves to produce 66 bhp more. Torque remains the same, as the previous model, due to transmission limitations. This engine has been labeled as the engine with the largest output that will be made by AMG. Its twin turbochargers are 12 percent larger, passages for intake air and the turbo wastegates have been modified, and the intake air intercooler is 30 percent more efficient….”

 So there you have it, a very special car indeed.

If you have a serious interest in purchasing this car please give us a call on 0845 643 2047 anytime and we will gladly arrange the necessary viewings and test drives.

2008 Mercedes Benz C63 AMG

We have a neighbour who changes his cars like some people change their underwear and we like him very much. We won’t mention any names for fear of embarassing the chap but we help him find a lovely set of wheels and then six months later he is asking us to find him his next dream car. If only all car buyers were like him and the recession would be a long distant memory.

Anyway our latest task is to dispose of his tasty C63 AMG and replace it with an equally scrummy Audi R8. So what is the C63 like? Well, it sounds like a violent thunderstorm and it goes faster than anyone in a sane frame of mind would dream of doing so on a public road. So we love it.

We went to Mercedes World at Brooklands the other day and tried the E63 and C63 AMG’s round the track there. If you have any doubt about how well these cars perform then treat yourself to a visit and leave with a mile-wide smile. 

Our neighbour’s C63 is painted in Metallic Steel Grey with Black nappa leather interior so it looks all mean and moody. The car has only done 12k miles and he loves his cars more than his lovely missus (only joking L!) so it is in mint condition.

It is also very rare. Just take a look at the classifieds and this is one car that has not sold in big numbers during the recession so residuals are likely to remain firm for some time yet. 

For further details on the sale of this stunning C63 AMG call us on ++44 1474 854490 or click here to view the car on our website. For slideshow of over 30 images take a look here. 

2007 Rolls Royce Phantom

FAB1 – that’s what the latest Phantom looks like! Anyone who remembers the Thunderbirds TV series from the 60’s will definitely recall the very pink Rolls Royce owned by Lady Penelope and driven by the very drole Parker. The towering grille, squinty headlamps and massive road presence give this Roller the same esprit de corps. There is something that RR seem to pull off that nobody has yet managed to emulate. Price isn’t everything, witness the Maybach. This car says I am here and you had better move aside just because you know you should. The Phantom should really be de rigeur for gangsters but instead it tends to waft the highest levels of royalty and the seriously monied from their splendid front doors to somewhere else equally splendid. Us Brits don’t really want a revolution because who would be left to buy a Roller? We know it’s not right but the car is just so damn impressive even if you couldn’t bring yourself to drive one. A bit like FAB1 in Thunderbirds really. If there are any of the recession-proof minority reading this post then reach for your cheque book because we know of a low-mileage (900 miles) example looking for a new owner for less than 180k GBP which is a massive saving over list!

Come on , don’t be shy now and give us a call on ++44 1474 854490 to arrange a very private viewing or click here for more details or here for a slideshow of images.
