Signature Car Hire staff were invited to take a look at the new Signature offices last night for the first time. Development of the new offices and showroom; which is over 10,000 square feet in size, has been kept a closely guarded secret until now, so the big reveal to the staff was a long awaited surprise. Owner Dee treated staff to a champagne celebration to mark the event.
The Mercedes S-Class S350 Bluetec has continued the fine tradition of S-Class excellence, picking up the prestigeous title of ‘luxury car of the year’ in the 2011 What Car? Car of the Year awards. Adding yet another victory to the line’s impressive seven previous luxury car of the year awards from the UK based magazine.
Praise was heaped upon the S-Class’ luxurious interiors, upholstered in stylish leather with “plenty of space to sprawl” and a generous 560-litre boot for those travelling with a lot of luggage. The extrerior retains the classic, elegant S-Class look, so you can travel in the utmost style.
The S350 is also highly specked with the latest Mercedes technology to improve your driving experience. It boasts integrated satellite navigation, reversing camera, cruise and climate control as well as Bi-xenon adaptive headlights for improved night vision. Road and wind noise is impressively muted, letting you get the full enjoyment from the high-end audio system. Air suspension gives you a consistently smooth ride without sacrificing the car’s handling ability, as it adjusts itself on the fly as you drive.
Efficiency measures – such as “lightening” the chassis – have been taken to lower the S-Class’ carbon footprint down to just 177g/Km of CO2 and fuel consumption at 41.5 miles per gallon. But these efficiency measures have not been taken at the expense of performance as the S350′s 3.0-litre V6 engine with 235BHP will happily do 0-60 in just 7.1 seconds, with a torque of 620 Nm.
Signature Car Hire is proud to offer such an excellent vehicle to our customers, the S-Class S350 is truly the centerpiece of our range of premium performance cars and comes with the additional AMG Sports package. With their Sonderklasse, Mercedes remain in a class of their own, leaving no doubt as to why we have added it to our fleet.

Jaguar Land Rover has just announced they plan to create 2000 jobs in the UK with a £400 million expansion programme.

Building for the new plant is planned for completion in approximately 2 years and has been secured with £10 million support from the Government who believes the motor industry is crucial to our economy.
This gold Lamborghini LP560-2 spotted recently in China surely had a few heads turning! We really think this is perhaps a little too much bling, but what do you think? We would love to hear your views.
You can still hire a Lamborghini that has not been ‘pimped’. However, remember our cars are still top of the range when it comes to quality and specifications. All our cars are bought new, and we add in all the extras to ensure your ride is one to remember….for all the right reasons!
We are immensely proud of our fleet and our impeccable chauffeur service. To showcase some of our most popular luxury hire cars we took our cars to the famous London landmark of the Albert Hall. Our photo shoot featured the Rolls Royce Ghost, our new Bentley Flying Spur Speed and one of our Range Rovers. All cars are suitable for self drive hire or with one of our experience chauffeurs or security drivers.
Since the launch of the Aventador LP-700-4 in early March at this year’s Geneva Motor Show, the Top Gear team appear to be absolutely taken with this new car.
At the launch, they said simply ‘you want one’. Never ones to mince their words, we agree. You too will soon be able to get your hands on one, with our desirable hire car.
Obviously, we weren’t the only ones to listen to them after such launch news. The very next week they reported the phenomenal news that the Lamborghini chief confirmed that the Aventador’s entire 12-month production run was sold out, just one week later.
It would seem that the guys at Top Gear really can’t get enough of the Aventador. They continued to follow the ‘thoroughly-delectable’ Aventador as they reported some weeks later about it successfully landing the role of Batman’s new wheels in the next installment of this epic comic on the silver screen, The Dark Knight Rises.
At last, the team got their hands on the car, as James May drove three of them in June. Recounting his experience of ‘6.5 litres of V12 pumping Italian piston power shrouded in a body built from carbon fibre and aluminium, and then artfully arranged on double-wishbone and pushrod racecar suspension’ he, quite simply, became seduced by the overall shape, and we think you will be too.
He also loved the sound, noting that ‘it’s definitely a V12 sound, but quite old-fashioned and mechanical, definitely created by things going up and down and round and round rather than by any creative tampering with the exhaust’, which is something we know you will love as well.
He felt that the ‘initial pull-away can be difficult to achieve smoothly, and sometimes, just as you lift off at a crawl, the clutch decides to engage fully, meaning the function of the accelerator seems to have been reversed’. Maybe you can do better?
He also found it too wide for the narrow Italian roads, so we recommend you hire it with somewhere else in mind, somewhere closer to home that will allow you to truly see, hear and feel it.
Given the volume of cars that Clarkson, May and Hammond have at their disposal, (and when it comes to Top Gear we intend the pun, disposal’s the word!) you would’ve thought that they might have been a bit blasé about finally getting their hands on the Lamborghini Aventador. We guess it’s just a case of ‘the best things come to those who wait’!
Finally, the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 was shown on the Top Gear program at the end of July. For those of you who were able to wait the entire weekend to see the supercar revealed at 8pm on the night of Sunday 31st July, imagine the agony of the Top Gear team, waiting to see it revealed eventually on their show after so many months. The LP700-4 Aventador was reviewed and completed the ‘Power Lap’ around the legendary Top Gear Test Track at Dunsfold.
The editor even had something to add about the day they drove the Lamborghini Aventador. “Someone punch me in the face – life isn’t going to get better than this.”
Luckily, you won’t have to wait so long to get to drive this modern interpretation of the Lamborghini statement style, it’s been selected for the Signature Car Hire fleet.
One of 2011’s hottest new models appears to be the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4, and if the snaps of an internet forum are to be believed, next year it will be bursting across the big screen wearing one of the hottest number plates of 2012 – Gotham 649 8227. We should certainly believe it too as Top Gear reported this scoop recently.
Gotham City’s newest number plate appears to be registered to a certain Mr. Wayne, Bruce Wayne. As Top Gear relay, ‘the thoroughly delectable Lamborghini Aventador is making its big screen debut in next year’s hugely mouth-watering Batman flick, The Dark Knight Rises’.
For those of us who are less than aficionados of the Batman genre over the last few episodes, Top Gear kindly précis the career of the Lamborghini throughout the last few years. If you can remember, driving a Murcielago Spyder in 2005′s ‘Batman Begins’ was the first date of Bruce Wayne with the Italian legend. He then moved on to a Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 in The Dark Knight. Given that the Murcielago has been superseded, it is no surprise that Batman has graduated to the Aventador. Top Gear endorses this as ‘the correct decision, because the V12-engined Lamborghini is rather smashing’.
You can make up your own mind if the Aventador LP700-4 is a worthy successor to this tradition. Hire the Batmobile to drive from Signature Car Hire.
Matching the mystique of this silver screen legend, the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 is absolutely a showman, a musician and a hypnotist all in one.
Starring Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne as Batman, Anne Hathaway as Catwoman, and the Lamborghini Aventador as the Batmobile, the film promises to expose its stars in all their glory. Pictures are given a sneak-peek on Top Gear’s blog. Sensuality is revealed on Top Gear’s other blog posts detailing the Aventador as ‘surprising’, ‘fascinating’ yet ‘relaxing’.
Christopher Nolan directs this award-winning cast featuring the divine Christian Bale, and ravishing Anne Hathaway amongst stars such as Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine. It is just as well they picked a car that is stunningly beautiful as the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 to shine just as brightly.
As you can see from our pictures, we had a very busy second day at the Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEi), seeing an increase in enquiries from foreign customers compared to enquiries from government and military enquiries we saw on the very first day. Comments from customers all agreed that the Range Rover is indeed the ideal security vehicle for protection.
Did you see the launch video for the Range Rover Evoque on TV this week? Set in Las Vegas, the 30 second advert exploded onto the screen with an exciting and vibrant advert which reflects the dynamic and sleek nature of this new shape 4 x 4 from Range Rover. If you have not seen it, then look at our Evoque and watch the clip on-line!
