Mr Bean’s Defender
A limited edition 2015 Land Rover Defender 90 Heritage belonging to Blackadder and Mr Bean star Rowan Atkinson will go under the hammer at the Silverstone Classic festival on July 29-30.
The special Heritage edition model is one of only 400 examples made as part of the Land Rover Defender Celebration Line, released to mark the end of UK production of the Defender.
It features Grasmere Green metallic paintwork, an Alaska White roof, heritage style grille, headlamp surrounds, silver front bumpers, heavy-duty steel wheels and HUE 166 graphics in tribute to the first ever pre-production Series I Land Rover from 1947.
Inside there is an aluminium clock, perforated leather on the steering wheel, gear stick and handbrake, as well as cloth seats with vinyl sides and backs. A padded cubby box and Heritage logo rubber mats.
The Land Rover has covered just 2,260 miles and is expected to fetch £38,000-£45,000.
Audi’s Q5 is the German company’s most popular SUV even although it is up against some premium quality opposition.
Since it first arrived back in 2008 more than 1.6million of them have been sold globally and in late spring the second generation model was launched to keep the momentum going.
The Q5 is the right size for a family SUV - big enough to carry five people and a sizeable amount of luggage - but small enough to be relatively easy to park and navigate city streets.
It may not look hugely different from the model it replace but the new Q5 is allnew and although it is slightly larger - it is considerably lighter - tipping the scales at 90kg less.
This means it is both more fuel efficient and nimble and it is also crammed with all the latest technology you would expect in a premium product.
The newcomer looks great in the test car’s Navarra Blue and in 2.0-litre TDI quattro form with 190PS on tap and featuring S line trim and an S tronic gearbox it costs £39,405 with £645 to be added on for the paintwork.
It looks sharper and more stylish than the previous Q5 and its smooth diesel engine can take you to 135mph and
