Ferrari luxury sports cars have always had a special affinity with the association of not only the racing world and upper echelons of the Formula One Grand Prix, but also a popular choice for the rich and famous.

A Ferrari parked outside an expensive boutique or a café in Monaco wouldn’t ever “look out of place”, would it? This is probably due to the fact that Ferrari sports cars have always had a reassuringly rather large price tag to go with their image of wealth for its owner.

With this in mind, the cars that belong to celebrities, Hollywood actors and famous people have always attracted even more attention than their less famously owned counter parts. So when some of these famously owned cars end up at a classic car auction or are announced that they will be sold, a media frenzy starts and so does a bidding war for the top price.

In a recent classic car auction at the Silverstone, a rare 2003 “Ferrari 575 Maranello” with only 10,000 miles on the odometer was eventually sold for £66,000 and was purchased by an unknown private buyer. What was unique about this car was its special provenance from its famous previous owners.

The fact this Ferrari was not just rare, but its previous owners included; the legendary guitar hero “Eric Clapton” and the BBC Radio and TV presenter Chris Evans, who are both huge Ferrari fans in their own right.

Chris Evans has been in and out of the motoring world press for the last few years, with his growing collection of Ferrari’s, which now includes seven in the line-up. But his latest acquisition is the one that’s got everyone talking. It’s a very rare 1960 Ferrari 250 California Spyder, that cost over £5 million at auction. What makes this classic car even more special is that its only number 13 of only 56 cars ever produced of this model, but it was formally owned by the late (great) film actor James Coburn, who was a massive Ferrari fan.

James Coburn got his love of cars from his father and was reputed to have turned the automotive-fanatic actor Steve McQueen onto Ferrari sports cars back in the early sixties.

Other celebrities and star’s who share a love for Ferrari sports cars are most notably Jay Kay from the band Jamiroquai who has had a number of Ferrari’s including; a Ferrari F40, a 360 Spider, Ferrari Enzo, Ferrari 456GT. Veteran rock singer Rod Stewart also owns a Ferrari F40, a 360 Spider and now new Murcielago.

Star of film and TV, Joanna Lumley has a classic Ferrari 328 GTS Targa, where as lead guitarist of the Who rock band also has a passion for Ferrari’s, as Pete Townshend currently owns a Ferrari 550 Maranello.

The Nissan Navara is the epitome of pickup meets 4×4 meets motorised beast on steroids and is an absolute pleasure to drive. It even at times feels like a sports car, just bulkier and more practical when it comes to everyday driving…

What does the Nissan Navara Offer?

For a vehicle weighing in at just over 2 tons the Navara handles surprisingly well when on the road. But in parking areas, even the responsive power steering cannot take away the fact that its size is a bit of a problem, especially when trying to park in an underground or limited space environment. It is very long vehicle, but this is not necessarily a bad thing because it is a bonus when actually using the loading tray at the back for carrying items. In fact, the Nissan Navara can handle significantly bigger than most double cabs found around the world today.

A Beast of an Engine

The 2.5 diesel engine that the Navara uses is powerful enough to handle almost any job that is required of it, so you can imagine the power that is generated by the even bigger 4.0 litre petrol engine that is also available. It is possible in fact that the slightest touch of the pedal will give you the feeling that you are in a sports car and not a double-cab pickup.

Beauty in the Beast

The spacious and luxurious interior of the Nissan Navara comes with all of the comfort elements one would expect from a top-quality SUV never mind a pickup vehicle. In fact it is often easy to forget that one is actually in a 4×4 pickup and not a SUV. The creature comforts found in the Navara include electric windows, climate control, CD/audio system, cruise control and a host of other features.

Fine Rugged Features

With its straight lines and rigid body, this is the pickup to beat all pickup when it comes to looks. It can also be called one of the best Nissan 4×4 by far thanks to its ruggedness. Either way, it is a pleasure to behold and a great vehicle to drive both on and off-road.

Safety First

Safety equipment on the Nissan Navara includes is top-notch and includes power steering, ABS anti-lock braking and Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD) as standard. On some of the more expensive models Nissan Brake Assist further enhances safety by increasing braking to reduce stopping distance if an emergency is encountered.
