Ever heard of a chap called Giorgetto Giugiaro? Well he is reckoned to be the most successful car designer of all time. Take a short stroll down any street in the country and you are likely to find an example of his automotive handywork.

The talented chap will probably want to be remembered for his finer pieces of work which happens to include the original (and best) Golf, the Alfasud (not the rusty bits), the 156, the sharp-looking Lotus Esprit (as driven by Bond underwater), the Ford Mustang (1965) plus odd jobs for Fiat, Ferrari, Audi, Toyota, Ducati, Bugatti, BMW, Lancia, Lamborghini, SAAB, Renault, the list goes on and on. Oh and in between his car doodling he managed to squeeze in a number of camera bodies for Nikon and a keyboard for Bontempi.

The bits he would rather everybody forget include the FSO Polonez, Yugo Zastava, Hyundai Pony and Daewoo Matiz. Well at least he got paid for those pups!

Near the top of his finer creations comes the Maserati Coupe introduced in 2002. Such a dramatic looking car with classic Grand Tourer lines that take you back to the sixties and those films with glamorous film stars driving along those twisty roads around Monaco.

What a lovely sound this car makes too. It is the sound of a proper V8 that snarls and growls like the MGM lion. With 390 bhp the Italian stallion will sprint to 60mph in less than 5 seconds and if you make a quick detour to Germany you will max out at around 180 on the autbahns.

If you fancy a well-cared for example to make the trip we have been asked by the owner a 2005 Nero Carbonio (Carbon Black) manual Coupe to find a good home for his pride and joy. The car has been fully serviced and comes with a full leather interior and SatNav.

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.

2002 Bentley Arnage Mulliner LWB

For sale: office with Internet, phone (two of them), fax facility, drinks cabinet, TV (two screens), air conditioning, plush leather furnishings, lashings of burr oak veneer, oh and a 400 bhp V8 engine. 

Yes this  is a special-bodied Sapphire Black Mulliner Bentley Arnage which makes most apartments seem sparsely equipped by comparison. You could park this car outside the Grosvenor and the world would think Simon Cowell was in town. This is indeed a special car and the current owner has asked us to find a suitably-qualified new owner for this grand lady.

We thought the Screaming Yellow Mustang topped the attention-seeking charts but this Bentley has it licked. You can see people bowing and scraping out of the corner of your eye as you waft very conspicuously along Her Majesty’s highways and even the net curtains at Buck House would twitch at the arrival of this beauty at the front door.

The specification of this long wheelbase conversion of the Arnage is mind-boggling. There just simply enough space in this post to tell you about the details. The car reputedely cost over £200k when new and quite frankly it is easy to see where the money was spent.

We saw a Maybach the other day which costs over £350k brand new. Save your hard-earned pennies and invest in a set of non-dating plates and £45k for this Bentley. It makes the MB look like a Chinese import. An ugly one to boot.

2002 Ferrari 360 Spider F1

If there was one car manufacturer whose image was inextricably linked to one colour it has to be Ferrari. However, it would be vaguely interesting to see what proportion of Ferraris produced were actually not painted in Rosso Corsa.

The significance of the choice of red by Enzo apparently lies with the emergence of  ‘country colours’ in the early days of motor racing. Green for Britain, blue for France, yellow for Belgium, silver for Germany and of course red for Italy.  But yellow is the colour for Modena and hence the background colour of the Scuderia shield and don’t Ferraris look nice painted in Giallo?

Anyway with enough money and kudos you can have the factory paint your new car in any colour you wish (within reason and as long as Enzo did not consider it tasteless). Eric Clapton is one of those people that is well known in Modena. Not so much for his guitar-playing skills but he just loves Ferraris and he doesn’t always order one in Rosso Corsa.

Take the 360 Spider that we are selling on behalf of the current owner. The shade of metallic grey (grigio) on this car is unusual because it wasn’t a standard colour for the 360. Eric decided he liked the colour so much from a previous Ferrari he had owned that he asked for his new 360 Spider F1 purchased in 2002 to be painted with the same colour and the factory duly obliged.  The following year he bought an Enzo painted in yellow, so there!

Today the same car is up for sale and has now done just over 30k miles. The interior is finished in Beige leather and the service history is impeccable. Lancaster’s have just carried out the 31k service and the cambelts have been changed at the same time. Give us a call on ++44 1474 854490 or click here for more details.
