Ok, I don’t want you to rate it, I was just trying to come up with a catchy headline. Another expensive vehicle from the Notting Hill hood.

I’m not sure if I like it. I think it’s more a problem I have with the R8’s overall design... even in its most basic trim, I’ve never been a big fan of the bit-of-plastic (even if it might be carbon on some) on the side of the R8.

Bonus vehicle... what the hell is one of these doing here?

The Ypsilon was officially sold here. Turns out No one really wanted an uglified Fiat 500 with a Chrysler badge slapped over the top of the Lancia one.

On the Notting Hill scale, it’s trying to go 8/10 Hugh Grant, but ends up being 11/10 Rhys Ifans.

That roof scoop is silly. I would be willing to bet that he spent way too much for it too since there’s a vendor that makes for the R8 at a cool $2,000 for one made from FRP! Lol

What, the Ypsilon? They were sold in rhd markets for a short time without much success.

Oh, and it would be more Hugh Grant in “About a Boy” rather than “Notting Hill”

Horse and Hound’s cinema correspondent wouldn’t be seen dead in an Audi.

Bonus: I’ve never really understood all the Daimler-era Chrysler vehicles in the UK. It’s just eerie as an American to see a generic mid-range MPV/minivan like the Town & Country (aka Grand Voyager?) with a diesel engine driving on tiny roads.

On the other hand, you got the Chrysler 300C estate, while we only got the Dodge Magnum.

It looks stupid. I hope he gets it back to stock when he sells it.
