Welcome…and what a week!
The news for us does not get any bigger than ŠKODA being selected as the new Police Prime 1 Patrol car. We are all super pumped, and of course, very proud as we feel it's a privilege to supply vehicles to the Police. We were always quietly confident that we would win, as we believed that our car would shine in the (rigorous) unbiased selection process. ŠKODA delivers impressive performance, quality, and practicality; strengths that ŠKODA encompasses in its motto: "Simply Clever." - Photo / Driven NZ
Sir Colin Giltrap, our chairman, described it as one of the company's most significant deals and one that he's most proud of in his career. We also want to take this opportunity to publicly acknowledge and thank the ŠKODA team and the broader Giltrap Group, as it was a genuine team effort.
Along with the ŠKODA news, it has been a busy week. We are preparing for our biggest Café 66 event yet (this Sunday at Catalina Bay), and we have also been welcoming some stunning new cars to our dealerships.
We also welcomed Sixt to New Zealand, the first true mobility service of its kind; which I like to describe as a new kind of car ownership with a range of new machinery that is really impressive.
The launch of the new Bentley Bentayga had a touch of 2019 to it, with a couple of hundred people coming to Bentley Auckland to toast the new arrival. More importantly, this standard-setting vehicle has just raised the bar even higher. The more sporting - and dare I say - more elegant exterior, is easy to spot; so too is the updated interior. But the real change is below the surface with a raft of new technology and subtle chassis changes which total over 1000 new parts.
Shaun caught up with Derek Bennett from Bentley Auckland to go over the new Bentayga with a fine-tooth comb.
This week we also took a closer look at the freshly-landed McLaren 620R. This final hurrah to the Sports Series is as close to a race car you can legally use on the road.
Of course, we have plenty of other great road machines lined up in this week's Cool Cars and Great Deals. Remember this email is all you need to enjoy free barista coffee at Ripe Deli every Saturday from 9am - 11am at 119 Great North Road.
Hope to see you at Catalina Bay on Sunday morning.
