Ferrari limo spotted on Christmas shopping trip outside Harrods

The one-of-a-kind Ferrari limo, available for hire exclusively through Limo Broker, caused quite a stir when it rocked up in London’s swanky Knightsbridge yesterday to drop its passengers off for a spot of last minute Christmas shopping at Harrods. The luxury shopping trip to Harrods in the Ferrari limo was arranged by the UK’s leading limo hire operator, Limo Broker.

The stretch limo had a little bit of trouble finding a parking spot because of its extended length and so the chauffeur ended up pulling the attention grabbing limousine up right outside the doors to Harrods so his passengers could easily hop inside the luxury department store for their last minute Christmas shopping spree.

With room onboard for as a many as eight passengers, all comfortably seated in luxurious leather trim bucket seats, the Ferrari limousine is the ultimate vehicle to arrive onboard for a special shopping trip. Plus, thanks to its stretched shape which means the Ferrari measures a whopping 20 feet in length, there’s more than enough room onboard for all of your shopping bags.

The Ferrari limo is the only one of its kind in existence and was created by taking a regular Ferrari 360 sports car, cutting it in half and adding a limo style interior complete with eight seats to the middle of the vehicle. Due to its unique status, the Ferrari limo has attracted attention from around the world and has featured in a number of TV programmes including the BBC motoring show, Top Gear.

Not surprisingly, the Ferrari limo is in huge demand in all parts of the UK and is regularly hired for school proms, weddings, hen and stag parties, corporate events and of course, Christmas shopping trips.

John Lennon’s Ferrari to go under the hammer

January 12, 2011 By Carl Wheeler

John Lennon’s Ferrari, the first car he ever owned, is to go under the hammer at Bonhams auction house early next month.

The bright blue 1965 Ferrari GT 2 & 2 Coupe was the first car he bought after passing his test. Lennon purchased the sports car in the same year the Beatles released their hit singles Ticket to Ride and Help.

According to reports from the 60’s, a number of luxury car manufacturers descended on the Beatles member with offers of cars when the news got out that he’d passed his test. Despite the generous offers from several top name car brands, Lennon opted for the sleek Ferrari in an unusual shade of blue costing £2,000 in 1965.

Although the legendary singer owned the Ferrari for less than a year, the sports car is expected to fetch between £120,000 and £170,000.

The most famous car owned by John Lennon was the Rolls Royce Phantom V Limo decorated in psychedelic colours. The bright yellow limousine was painted by a friend of Lennon’s with flower and leaf patterns. Lennon bought the Phantom in 1965, the same year as the he passed his test and purchased the Ferrari. The Rolls Royce is currently on display at the Royal BC Museum in Victoria, Canada.

The 1965 Ferrari is due to be sold at auction on February 4th at Bonhams, Paris.

The Ferrari Limo, Covini’s 6-wheel sports car and other top cars of 2010

December 22, 2010 By Carl Wheeler
Covini-C6W

Ferrari 350 F1 Limo2010 has seen some exciting additions to the world of motoring including the 6-wheel sports from Covini Engineering which has taken 32 years to create.

The only Ferrari limo in existence underwent a makeover this year with a complete colour re-spray turning it from black, to an eye-catching red, the shade most associated with the luxury car brand. The one-of-a-kind limousine is available to hire for a wide range of occasions across the UK exclusively through Limo Broker.

The Covini CV6 6-wheeled sports car is not available to hire yet, as the innovative vehicle only made its debut last month at the Racing Professional Motor Show in Bologna. Although the concept of a sports car with 6 wheels may seem revolutionary, the model was inspired by the 1976 Tyrell P34 Formula One racing car. Covini have been developing the concept for the last 32 years, and now the finished product is finally ready.

With a starting price reported to be £250,000, the CV6 certainly doesn’t come cheap. However you do get plenty for your money as the unusual sports car features sleek scissor doors, and boasts 440bhp with a 4.2 litre engine with a top speed of 180mph and the ability to go from 0-62mph in less than 5 seconds.

The 6-wheeled C6 is due to go on sale next year, while the Ferrari limousine is available to hire from Limo Broker right now.

A vintage Ferrari 250 GTO has set Chris Evans back by £12 million

Chris Evans is celebrating securing the largest ever audience for a UK radio show by splashing out £12 million on a vintage Ferrari 250 GTO.

The Radio 2 breakfast host took over the reigns from long running presenter Terry Wogan who stepped down from the role last December. Listener figures which were revealed this week showed that Chris had pulled in an average of 9.5 million listeners a week, 1.5 million more than the hugely popular Sir Terry.

The breakfast show presenter obviously decided he deserved a treat for his hard work and is now one of only 36 people in the world to own the 1963 model which cost £6,000 when is came out originally 47 years ago.

As well as being billed as the most beautiful car in the world, the GTO Ferrari also boasts a successful career as racing car having secured a number of world championship titles.

The 44-year-old breakfast host has made no secret of his love of fast cars and has built up quite a collection over the years. However he did trade-in 3 other Ferraris before buying the super expensive supercar, although it won’t have made much of a dent in his expanding collection which consists of a £5 million California, and a £1 Enzo amongst others.

Chris, whose fortune is said to stand at £45 million, had reportedly tried to buy the same Ferrari model 15 years ago. An automobile expert said securing a GTO Ferrari is a big deal as they rarely come on the market.
