Hi all I'm an evil dictator for some obscure foreign coutry and I'm looking for a set of wheel.my criteria:
1.nothing 'modern'
2.must instill fear in my followers wherever I go
3.big enough to smash through a roadblock
4.awful mpg as petrol has no worth to me due to my oil wells.
5. Bodywork could take a bullet and not pass through.
6. Must be stylish (no riot wagons)

(seriously not a dictator but looking at big old mercs etc so just trying to see other options)

You took over an entire country but can't manage a thread title? I'm guessing it's a small country?

Bentley Turbo. Big, dreadful on fuel and great for wafting past the poverty stricken populous. Weighs the same as a small planet so more than capable of smashing through roadblocks.

Isn't it a given that tin pot dictators are generally carted about in LWB armoured S-Classes? Perhaps a more modern tyrant might rock up in a suitably large luxury armoured 4x4?

Got to agree, plus for export you can get around VAT

"Direct exports to overseas military and similar installations may be zero-rated provided you comply with the conditions set out in this notice. See paragraphs 4.10 and 10.7 for further information."

Go for the Range Rover though, this is no longer about style. i saw a nice one on Witham that had a bolted hatch in the rear but still had boot space.
