Do Overfinch make a Defender now?

Anyway, a quite new silver grey Defender with Overfinch spare wheel cover and chunky black wheels set off from a junction where Bamber Bridge joins the M6 this morning, Ive never seen a Defender move that fast!
Yep, I think they must do. I saw a white one yesterday, looked even more menacing (if that's possible).
indeed they do, my neighbour took delivery of one last week….tank

Followed (briefly!) a silver SLR Mclaren yesterday morning near Holmes Chapel with "SLR**" plate on it. Would have got a pic only my humble Audi diesel couldn't keep up!

Possibly SLR 1V, seen a few times around Alderley Edge.

Nope. Haven't seen one in the flesh for a while but it was even worse than I remember it. I honestly can't think of one angle it looks good from. Maybe exactly side on isn't too bad, but it's still not great, plus if you move slightly to the side it ruins it. I'll take an MP4-12C instead smile

spent a bit of time in mclaren when i was down there picking up my rangey from guy salmon.a nice machine no doubt but next to the 458 the lines and visual drama just don't cut the mustard for me.there is a black 458 in and around knutsford and "out in the wild" looks every bit as good as static in a showroom to me.

A bloke in the village where I live has a black one. Doesn't look nice at all close up imo. The back is far too high and looks bloated. The exhausts on top of each other look terrible.

It's the best looking car in Ferrari's current line up, but that's like saying chlamydia is the best STD.

If we were all the same and thought the same things, the world would be a very dull place. I can think of better cars to buy at the same price bracket, but still think it's a winner. :-)

i'm sure the chaps at maranello are all huddled round a laptop as we speak wailing in anguish at your disdain for their products.

I'm sure they are. Shame they can't make a beautiful, desirable car again whilst they're doing that though instead of styling everything by using a wind tunnel rolleyes

Well as unlikely as it may seem I just hope they'll cope without your valued custom.
