Forgot to mention my pal is also getting one.

His one looks like a London taxi on steroids and costs as much as a 4 bed house

You would be way off.

Here is a clue.

Out of the 250 that were made, there are only 9 in the UK.
Three out of the nine are sorn, so there are only 6 others on the road.

Autotrader has only two for sale.

Good guess, you are spot on.


The other car that my friend has rented which I described as a very expensive London Taxi on Steroids is a Rolls Royce Cullinan.
Terrible car that Rolls. I would have a Ghost or a Dawn or a Wraith any day over it.

I followed one of those Cullinans up the M1, made a Q7 look like a city car

Saw two 69 plate Cullinans parked within meters of each other on the same street in Hampstead last weekend, almost looked common!

Agree, I quite like the Wraith, Dawn & Ghosts too. As you said, the Cullinan looks a hell of a lot like the new London Taxi!

There are a few high end places in London using them as chauffeur vehicles for wealthy customers. To the middle east and asian markets badges matter, A Rolls not a Bentley, a Merc not a BMW.

Noticed Sunseeker in Poole had a fleet of Bentleys outside the sales centre last week - but I guess if you buy a sunseeker you probably like the attention a Bentayga or GT Conv gets you....

Saw this and three Phantom VII's in West Swindon on Tuesday, that's what you call being sent off in style

Cars have gone back.

Im back to slumming it in the M5 and 911:

This was not my first rodeo in a Lambo or Rolls and God willing certainly won't be my last.

If anyone wants a proper review of either car I will do one.

Three short points to leave you with before the pics.......

1. If I was a billionaire and then on top of that I won the lottery, the pools and who wants to be a millionaire, I would never consider buying the Cullinan.
That car was made only for Arabs and willy wavers.

2. There is no substitute for the noise a naturally aspirated V10 makes flying through the revs. I will be devastated when emissions laws kill off these engines and will do my utter best to own one before they start going up in price.

3. I had forgotten what total and utter vagina magnets Lambo's are. When you are in a Huracan there is no woman out of your league


Sorry for the crap phone pics........

The Roller does nothing for me.

That Lambo though...I'm ashamed to admit I didn't even know that version existed, but it's probably the nicest iteration I've seen. That sort of satin effect? paintwork is excellent.

I daren't ask how much that was to rent for a couple of days! Worth it though I'm sure.
