...they have a Koenigsegg, a MercLaren SLR and a Spyker in the showroom. Not a selection you see every day!

Another Spyker outside, a Vantage (natch), a DB9 and about 6 Bentleys too.

I'm going to take my camera to work on Monday, see if I can't blag some proper shots.

I live in Purley on Thames (about 2mins away) and it is always a treat going past Broughtons.

The Koenigsegg looks awesome.

Just popped in and mooched around with the camera - perfectly happy to let me wander and talk about the cars, top bloke thumbup . No pics until tomorrow or Thursday though I'm afraid as I'm off up to Manchester tonight and won't get back to my card reader until tomorrow night.

Get this though:

The Koenigetc is a CCR.
Done just 3000 miles.
Lost 100k+ on depreciation
Is on Sale or Return.

Because the owner upgraded to a CCX.

That's what I call money.

You were spotted... there was a chap stood outside the dealership on a mobile, talking to me.. watching you taking photo's...

How peculiar!

The K'egg is available on monthly payments... 7k a month, plus a 100k+ deposit...

Weirdest proxy spot ever? I was wearing my "One Track Mind" PH t-shirt as well

Actually I just had to nip home to pick something up for my Manc trip, so I retrieved my lappy and cardreader. I'll sort the pics out in the hotel bar this evening

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

I can't see the appeal of the Spyker - it looks hideous!

I (obviously) prefer the Koeniggsegg.
