94k awarded to classic Bentley owner after the car turns out to be fake

A court has ordered a Bentley car dealing specialist to pay a customer £94,000 in damages after the vehicle he sold the classic car enthusiast turned out to be fake.

Mrs Brewer paid £425,000 for what she was told was a rare 1930’s Bentley Speed Six, one of only 177 vehicles to have ever been made. However when the 67-year-old American Lawyer came to sell the vehicle, she was given an estimate of just £300,000.

It transpired that the classic car had undergone a great deal of modification over the years and the only original Bentley part which remained on the car was the chassis.

The Bentley Speed Six was first introduced in the 1920’s and is revered as one of the best vehicles ever produced by the luxury car maker.

Mrs Brewer took the car dealer to court, and the judge ruled in her favour this week. The court found that due to the extent of modifications the vehicle had undergone, it could no longer be accurately described as a 1930’s Bentley Speed Six, which was the description given when Mrs Brewer purchased the car back in 2007.

However the dealer who sold the vehicle, who has been selling and racing Bentleys for 25 years, says he acted in good faith and that he plans to appeal against the ruling.

Mercedes launch their new R-Class model in India

Mercedes-Benz has this week launched their brand new R-Class model in India. The luxury car manufacturer will be hoping the introduction of the new model will enable them to reclaim the top spot in the luxury car market from BMW who stole the crown from Mercedes last year.

The Mercedes R-Class has been described by the car maker as the “perfect crossover” between a sedan and an SUV. The car manufacturer believes the new R-Class will plug a gap in the market as it offers the performance of a SUV, and yet the style of a Sedan providing customers the best of both worlds.

The 7-seater Mercedes R-Class made its debut at the New York International Auto Show in March of this year where it attracted a great deal of interest. Mercedes say the initial reaction to the new model is extremely encouraging as they’ve already achieved their sales target for the year for the R-Class model in India.

The luxury car maker gauges that the R-Class models fits somewhere between the manufacturer’s existing models of the M-Class and the GL-Class offering a “brand new segment” in the luxury car market.

Since the start of the year Mercedes have introduced 18 new models and variants. At present, India is one of the few countries where the new R-Class will be available, however if it is deemed a success, it could be introduced in other part so of the world in the future.

Complaints over FA spending on chauffeur driven limos for players

The Football Association will this week reveal its accounts after complaints have been made in regard to spending on luxurious chauffeur driven cars for players, while backroom staff and non-playing employees are being forced to make spending cuts.

FA councillors have voiced objections to the use of chauffeur driven limousines for junior England players. Football players from the under 16 squad up, and including women’s team players, are all provided with cars and drivers to transport them to and from games, according to the FA councillors.

FA staff argue that money is being wasted unnecessarily as each player is allocated a car and chauffeur each, even when players are being transported from the same area.

The main gripe of the FA backroom staff is that they’ve been forced to make cut backs across the board to save money, however the players have remained completely unaffected by the spending cuts. Although they agree the senior England Squad need to receive the highest level of care, they protest over the same use of luxury transport for junior teams.

A spokesperson for the FA has defended the use of chauffeur driven car hire for England players, explaining that the organisation has a duty of care to ensure that all footballers are returned back to their clubs as quickly and safely as possible after carrying out England duty. They added that car sharing is in practice wherever possible.

UK’s leading Hummer hire brand, HummerHummer is up for sale

It is today confirmed that the UK’s most trusted Hummer hire brand ‘HummerHummer’ is going on the market. Establishing itself as being entirely dedicated to Hummer vehicles the company quickly became synonymous for servicing the media and promotional industry from transporting VIP’s or taking to the road on awareness campaigns for major brands. It was also the birthplace of new approaches to the hire market such as fully customised Hummer limousines, in-car DJs and the ‘ScreenSurprise’TM all of which were implemented with the desire to take the limousine experience to the next level.

Richard Silvester, Managing Director of HummerHummer discusses the reasons for selling five years on…..

“Whilst being active on the HummerHummer project we have succeeded in building what we felt the industry needed… some young faces who would get innovative in order to create more of a 360 experience rather than offering just your typical limousine ride. There is always going to be a demographic of people who want to be different, appreciate the value of the special touches and are willing to indulge that little more for a special occasion… I will never forget the look on one twelve year old Birthday boys face when we drove a plastic radio controlled Hummer buggy to his front door with a little note in it saying ‘now for something bigger?’, we timed it with his parents so that a real Hummer pulled up at his front door within seconds welcoming him to jump in, that experience created real buzz and one which we strive to make part of our service each and every day.

“Now, after recently becoming qualified in digital marketing I am going into the music business where my true passion lies. I am currently representing a group called ‘FullEnglish’ (www.fullenglishmusic.com) who are going through development and who I have every confidence in hitting the mainstream over the coming 12 months. I am also focussing on ‘Digirido’, a discussion and resource website dedicated for digital music marketing professionals. After working on the HummerHummer project for five years I want to ensure it is handed over to someone who can be as passionate about it as I have been and also someone who believes they can transform it into a national player. This is something we were set to do two years ago after receiving lots of franchise interest although we had to hold off after understanding the need for serious backing. I have no doubt new licensing laws will help support a UK limousine hire brand to develop whilst the barrier to entry for smaller operations rises. I would like to thank all of the limousine companies and partners who have helped support the brand up to this point and I welcome hearing from parties who are interested in this new opportunity.

HummerHummer have instructed Blue Sky Corporate Finance to co-ordinate the sale, interested parties can contact Paul Heaven on 0845 258 3759/07799 416146 in order to discuss the opportunity in further detail, the company has everything in place at its base in London or to relocate the brand around the world.

Rolls Royce Ghost fast becoming the most sought after wedding car in the UK

The Rolls Royce Ghost was launched last year at the Frankfurt Motor Show to great fanfare, and promised to offer a luxury vehicle featuring the latest technology and cutting edge design.

A selected number of Rolls Royce Ghost models are available for wedding car hire in the UK through leading luxury transport provider Cars for Stars. According to reports from Cars for Stars, demand for the Rolls Royce Ghost for wedding day hire far outstrips supply, which is testament to the growing popularity of the latest addition to the Rolls Royce portfolio.

For the most important day of your lives, only the very best will do. As the epitome of glamour, opulence, and luxury, the Rolls Royce Ghost more than fits the bill for wedding day transport. The extra quiet engine means passengers won’t be interrupted by the sound of the car accelerating, and the soft full grain leather upholstery makes for a sumptuous ride.

The Rolls Royce Ghost also boasts rear coach doors which open to a 38 degree angle, plus the low sill height enables passengers to step into the vehicle gracefully, which is good news for brides boarding the exquisite limo in their princess wedding gowns.

The sleek uncluttered design of the Ghost means it makes the perfect addition to any wedding snaps and will ensure brides and grooms make an impressive entrance on their special day. However with Cars for Stars reporting a huge number of enquiries for wedding car hire bookings for the Rolls Royce Ghost for dates as far in advance as 2012, you’ll need to act fast to make the Ghost yours for your wedding day.

The demand for Rolls Royce Phantom wedding cars is currently the most popular in UK but the new Rolls Royce Ghost may take over soon.
