I like the look of the car behind the Lambo.

It's one of those big boxy Japanese cars that doesn't make it to the UK, like the Nissan Cedric / Gloria or Toyota Century (I'd guess at the latter).

Correct, Toyota Century: preferred choice of company presidents, executive limousine rentals and mobsters.

And BrabusMog, should I ever end up in Japan

Horrible photo, but spotted this beauty at the services today. The owner was on his phone at the back and moved himself and his coffee from the rear wing for me to take a photo

Love that limo. Very 70's era Eastern European/African dictator chic.

No problem at all pal, thanks for letting me take the shot and congrats on the car - it looked rapid just creeping around the dreary car park

Just seen this Mercedes Maybach on Embankment....

[shielsy]

I can't recall seeing one around London before... Maybe I've seen a hundred and just thought they were all S Classes

[Iva Barchetta]

A colleague saw a Maybach in town today,probably this ^^^^ one,they didn't know what it was,describing it as a big Mercedes and a MM badge.

Sounds like a proper one, these are three pointed star / Mercedes badged.

The one I saw did have a Maybach badge on the C pillar (you can just about see it in the picture). If it hadn't have been for that and the V12 badge I probably wouldn't have given it a second look.

Saw a 1960s metallic grey Ferrari 250 SWB going through Henley the other day.

Had SWB number plate, guessing may have been one of George Harrison's fleet that are still at the house?

Maybach is just a trim level nowadays

True, but it's a hell of a trim level!

Looks ok, but only two seats in the back, so not very practical.

And surely it only needs one in the front? Not good value for money. They could have saved a few quid or added a table football table instead.
