No fair! There's a woody version available and it even holds wine bottles in the trunk! Why can't we get this in this country? The car companies sometimes think Americans don't know about cooler cars than what they currently sell. If I had my way, I'd drive a rhd Ford Cosworth, if I had the money.

You can get one of these in the USA if you are one of the 12 people that special ordered this car from Aznom Italy.

They are a custom design house for the very rich

Here is a link to the page for this car on their site

Aznom is a custom shop in Italy. A large number of custom shops in the US would do the same for you. Get out your checkbook.

I like to think of it as being f*gly, if the whole thing was painted hot chocolate it would have been better.

There's one thing on that Clubman I wish I had.

I like the wood grain on those oval trim pieces in the door. Would have really preferred that (over the piano black) on mine to go with the english oak.

Vanity plates should read 'IBPIMPN'...and it's obviously in need of curb feelers!
