Go to Lord’s for two of 2006’s most exciting supercars! The only place in the world, it is thought, where two of the world’s most exclusive supercars can be seen under one roof is Clive Sutton Premier Marques, based in St John’s Wood, London, right next to Lord’s Cricket Ground. The company has taken delivery of the UK’s first right-hand-drive Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder and the special edition Ford GT Gulf Racing Heritage Edition.

Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder

The waiting list for the highly anticipated convertible Lamborghini Gallardo is currently nearly 2 years, but Clive Sutton Premier Marques have a physical vehicle available, at a price of £179,950, for immediate delivery.

The vehicle is finished in Giallo Midas Yellow with black leather and yellow piping. In addition to the high level of standard equipment, including an electronically operated fabric roof and the Lamborghini Multimedia System, the car is equipped with reversing camera, front wheel ground clearance lifting system, heated electrically adjustable seats, satellite navigation and the Lamborghini E-Gear transmission with F1 style paddle shift gear levers.

The Gallardo Spyder, launched at last year’s Frankfurt Motor Show, features the 5.0-litre V10 powerplant, producing 520 bhp, taken from the Gallardo coupe. This results in a 0-62 mph sprint taking just 4.3 seconds and the ability to accelerate on to 195mph with the roof up, or 190mph with the roof down .

Ford GT Heritage

To commemorate 40 years of Ford’s domination of the Le Mans 24-hour endurance race which includes a four-year winning streak, Ford is producing a limited ‘Heritage’ version of its GT supercar. Clive Sutton Premier Marques has specially imported from America an unregistered example of this limited run modern classic, finished in heritage blue and epic orange livery, in honour of the Gulf Oil sponsored GT40 racers of the late 1960’s. It also features upgraded lightweight aluminium alloy wheels, black ebony leather interior and the optional McIntosh CD player and digital radio.

The mid-engined Ford GT is fitted with a supercharged 5.4-litre V8 producing 550 bhp. This equates to a 0-62 mph time of 3.8 seconds and a top speed in excess of 200 mph*.

Chief executive, Clive Sutton, commented "The Gallardo Spyder and the Ford GT Heritage have been eagerly awaited and we are delighted to have two such exciting vehicles here in our showroom. We are the only dealer in the UK to stock these two performance car together. Here at Clive Sutton Premier Marques we aim to deliver only the very best to our clients.
