Did anyone see what at first I thought was just a large black Merc parked under the trees next to the driveway on the way out? It hadn't been there when we wandered in around 10am but was there at about 12:30. After taking a closer look it turned out to be a Maybach, but not just any old Maybach. It suddenly struck me that it only had two doors. Apparently it was one of only six Maybach coupes that were made by Xenatec based on the 57S with the blessing of Mercedes. I bet a lot of people just wandered passed it.

Yeah I saw that too. It had a Luxemburg plate, I believe. Rare and expensive but not particularly to my taste.

Thanks. Not heard of that one before.

We noticed it & guessed it was a maybach but didn't really know much about it

I clocked it straightaway. I was quite interested in looking around it until I saw the interior.

The roflcopter is still yet to land.

It's a bit vulgar. Who wants a 2 door limo?

I did like the Chieftan Range Rover though. Modern running gear, classic body and a big American V8.

A good morning, just a shame about the weather. Thank you very much to the two very kind Gentlemen who let myself and my son sit in their McLarens.
i could not believe the amount of traffic on the local roads as we left, obviously a very popular event.

Is it just me or does it look like some sort of Chinese Ripoff copy of a Merc from the front?.

At £550k I think they can keep it

Thanks for organising guys and getting Pistonheads its own area. Shame about the weather but thats always beyond anyone's control. No problems with getting in & no queues as we got ourselves there before 9am as requested. Usual friendly atmosphere amongst PH'ers so it was great to chat with a few others before exploring the more exotic stuff in the main displays. See you next time

[hairyaardvark]

Yep thanks for organising guys - got there early, parked in the PH paddock, strolled around, grabbed coffee, saw awesome cars, put the world to rights, then came home cross-country. Bonza

That is a seriously good looking car!

I find myself liking Caymans more than 911's these days!
