A very rare Bentley Mulsanne Grand Limousine, which is thought to have cost a seven-figure sum when new in 2016. Produced by Bentley’s Mulliner division, the design was originally developed as a one-off commission but was later offered to a handful of hand-picked customers. With a 1000mm wheelbase extension and a 79mm taller roofline, the Grand Limousine features six individual seats (each with its own climate zone) and a rear cabin trimmed in Twine hide with Burr Walnut veneers.

What happens when a car tries to mix sports car looks with executive saloon practicality?
The Rover SD1, introduced in 1976, was a bold leap forward for Rover. Designed as a modern, forward-looking executive car, it borrowed heavily from European trends, most notably in its sleek, fastback styling inspired by exotic marques like Ferrari.

Under the bonnet, it featured Rover’s venerable 3.5-litre V8 engine in its most famous versions, delivering strong performance. The car also came in 2.3 and 2.6-litre straight-sixes, aiming to offer choices across different market segments.

Its interior was minimalist and functional, with a focus on driver engagement. The hatchback design offered practicality, and for a luxury car, that was fairly rare in its class. The SD1 was spacious, with a commanding presence on the road.

While its design and ambition were ahead of their time, the SD1 was hampered by quality control issues in its early years. Still, it remains a cult classic for Rover enthusiasts and a symbol of a British carmaker reaching for modernity.
