Default Pangbourne's turning into Supercar Town

Broughtons are now not only an Aston and Bentley reseller, they're also authorised for Koenigsegg, Spyker and McLaren So I had a mooch around with the camera today. Top blokes in there too - more than happy for a petrolhead with no chance of owning any of them to dribble over the bodywork

All obviously grab shots with no ability to change the lighting or get further away (thanks to the showroom windows)

Brilliant isn't it I really like the Spykers. Fantastically daft.

I reckon the designer got his inspiration from the 1960 film The Time Machine.
It's like a futuristic vision of a steam driven automobile designed in the Victorian age.

The Spyker and the Zonda show that some people still want to make something approaching what a supercar should be - fast but also different and head turning.

I'd sell a kidney if it meant I could own either.

motors and pics Graham!

I'd go with MarkB's other suggestion, the Zonda. Looks berserk but yet at the same time very sexy. Spyker is nice but a bit contrived, I think... and it still

I mentioned i'd seen a couple of zondas there in the past and the chap hinted that they were angling for being a Pagani reseller too just as i'm leaving...typical
