Ministerial Vehicles!

Some of you may be aware that we also represent Jaguar at Park Royal.

There is an interesting Poll which you may want to pass your vote on. It asks if our government should ditch their british Jaguars in favor of Toyota Prius's!

http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/poll/poll-25...rs/poll.do

Happy voting!

Sorry I voted YES,look forward to seeing them all scrunched up in the back seat.
I could never understand why Ministers never got hit (like me) for the Benefit in Kind for their limos and drivers.

I feel that Ministers need to have big cars - the bigger the better and I think they should all drive Bentleys! 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

In any other country they would HAVE to be driven in a car made locally if there was one - Priuses only keep Japanese car makers employed. Ministers should all be driving round in Nissan Micras............................ the pink version so we can all see that it is somebody who thinks they are important inside it. I bet that there wouldn't be so many ministerial miles clocked up if they did!

The local council here replaced their entire fleet of cars for employee use with SMART cars................. amazing how few you see being taken home at night now compared with a few years ago! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

Steve,
Not sure of the exact spec its for my partner,only know its a diesel,black with black leather and about £36K,lease works out about the same as my RRS as he does about 10k miles/annum more than me.
I'll post some piccies up when it arrives.
Saw the review on 5th gear(I think) the other night it looks awesome inside and although by the sounds of it not as sporting as the 535 Beemer much better for wafting about in comfort so should eat the miles up.
I've only had mine about 2 weeks and I've done about 2 1/2 k miles already. MY2011 HSE Santorini/Ivory/Piano Black/Privacy Glass/TV .Sadly gone.
