It's for sale, and you still have time as it'll be at Gooding and Co in Pebble Beach in Aug. Apparently still on delivery miles (300 km on the clock). One off colour named after Brown who was a co-owner of McLaren International with Ron.

It's not as brown as I'd hoped in natural light, but I love the interior colour scheme.

fantastic

though that interior definitely looks better in a dimly lit garage

I remember having a look round it in the basement car park of the new flats opposite Lords cricket ground in about 2010/11, covered in dust. Looked well finished and very ugly.

At first glance I thought it was a modified Nissan 350. Some people really do have too much money.

Rather splendid and immaculate Aston Lagonda in Bath the other day. It turned significantly more heads than the new Aston DBS a few yards away.

One of my all time favourite cars and I'm lucky to have driven one, albeit briefly.

One of the biggest cars on uk roads with what must be one of the smallest and neatest front grilles, BMW take note!

I used to really want one of these, can't be many left now.

Alfa Romeo GTV 6 2.5 with a BO55 R8 V8 and a Bentley GTC hiding up the road.

They must be doing something right - they are everywhere here in East London/Essex and the Cotswolds last week.

Saw one at the weekend, surprised how small it was.

Quite.

The interior quality leaves a lot to be desired in the new Defender cheap scratchy plastic everywhere, utilitarian my arse.

Definitely price-gouging those fools that think "Defender" is a premium badge...

If they charge a premium price and people pay it, then it is a premium badge. Much like Cristal champagne.
