Behold: the Ginetta supercar – which is to say, a supercar, built by Leeds-based sportscar manufacturer Ginetta: a front engined, 6.0l, 600bhp V8 with a radically finned and scooped carbon fibre body producing the massive downforce required for a top speed of 320km/h.

Yours for about €470,000.

Behold: the 1988 Lamborghini LM002 – long before any luxury brand had even considered such a thing, long before the Lamborghini Urus, this – from 1986 to 1993 – was the fastest (if not the prettiest) SUV you could buy.

Capable of accelerating from 0-100km/h in 7.7 seconds (considerably faster than most road cars of the time), it was popular with militaries and wealthy private clients.

Only 328 were made and this one – fully restored inside and out – can be yours for a mere €330,000.

Behold: the Citroën Ami – an all-electric concept vehicle designed for short term city rental (with or without a driver).

Envisaged for rental use from 5 minutes to five hours, the Ami has a tiny footprint,  fairly accommodating cargo space for its small size and a smartphone dock via which you tell it where to go, what music to play on the way there and so forth.
