  • Kahn Land Rover Defender 2.2 TDCI XS 10 Chelsea Wide Track Edition

    Kahn-Land-Rover-Defender-Chelsea-THUMBKahn Land Rover Defender 2.2 TDCI XS 10 Chelsea Wide Track Edition has a very to long name but it is definitely a nice project. The engineering and the design of every element has been done with intent. In other words, this vehicle is blend of refinement, and its all-terrain capability makes it distinctive and unique. The exterior color here has been decided in the unusual Nara Bronze, which in my opinion looks very good. The paint scheme is complimented by wide range of additions.

    At the front, we can see that the tuners at A. Kahn Design have included a new front bumper with bumper lighting, front bumper sump guard, front wide wheel arches in matt black, and LED diamond bright headlights as well as bonnet vents with mesh. At the back we can see a rear wheel wide wheel arch and wings in matt black, exhaust shields and Kahn crosshair exhaust system.

    Other added design elements that make this Land Rover truly one-of-a-kind are the privacy glass, painted brake calipers, hardwearing mud flaps, and of course the Kahn 9 x 20″ Mondial wheels in volcanic black as well as the Chelsea truck company spare wheel cover.

    Going inside, the car’s exquisite interior features front sports GTB, middle bench and rear folding seats in quilted and perforated leather with Harris Tweed detailing. The other enhancements are a centre glove box, rev counter facia in red, centre dashboard surround, Kahn single spoke leather steering wheel, rev counter facia, dashboard and instrument binnacle, hard wearing front and rear cabin floor mats, Kahn fire extinguisher, Churchill time clock facia insert and vented foot pedals in machined aluminium.

  • Afzal Kahn is Selling “F1” License Plate – £10 million

    Yes, there is no mistake in the heading. The owner of Kahn Design – Afzal Kahn is asking exactly £10,009,995 for the “F1” license plate… and we thought that £3,200 is expensive for a license plate consisting six identical digits.Actually, the saga began back in 2007, when Afzal Kahn has purchased the “F1” license plate for just £440,000. He used it to drive some of his cars including a black McLaren SLR, a Bugatti Veyron and some other interesting sport vehicles. Still, neither of them is even close to the price tag of the incredible license plate.It is very interesting that a stranger offered Mr. Kahn a whopping £6 million for the license plate, last year. Unfortunately, the owner turned down his offer, because he believed that the license plate is worth even more than that. We wonder – how much?The most desirable license plate in the world will probably change its owner, but it is an investment, which will increase its value over the years. We will be very happy to see Rowan Atkinson driving his incredible McLaren F1 with an “F1” license plate. Probably that won’t happen, because he seems a lot reasonable man, who won’t invest a sensational amount of money in such thing.
