After catching up on Harry’s garage and seeing his want for a beach buggy,I think it would make for an exceptional series if he did a build with his son Charlie,buying a wrecked beetle amd a buggy kit,build a hot engine for it funky paint etc.
That would be awesome...but with a special Tuthill air cooled flat 6.

If this sits in your one parking space in London, said space will probably be empty after not too long. hehe

(Yes I know it's more the previous gen RR that's thief bait)
Current one is proving safe in terms of theft.

I'd certainly watch that.

Or Harry could just borrow James May's beach buggy for a review!

I reckon it'll be the black Wildcat Defender 110 with the 600bhp V8 featured on Tyrrell's Classic Workshop the other week.

And if it is, I'll be very jealous!

If I remember correctly, Harry is not a fan of classic Defenders.

A trusted source is dropping hints it’s a 2018 Passat.

Surprised he bought a McLaren, but it is a nice example.

It's a stunning car though, especially in that colour.

Absolutely incredible car and for ‘only’ £50k to change, it’s another several levels of car above the Emira.

Seems an utter bargain considering it was a special edition originally.

Assuming however that the car ended up being bought at maybe £110k? That means the Emira was only sold for £60k which seems really low? Have they fallen that far already? I remember not that long ago they were selling for overs.

Apart from that madly priced £240k one, there are no other 650S Spiders (or hard tops) on Auto Trader for more than £95k. So Harry has attributed quite a lot of value to the spec of this one.
