With Christmas Just Around The Corner,

here is the Christmas present for someone who wants a Mercedes McLaren SLR to give to a friend,

entrepreneur Ueli Anliker, who spent more than £3.5million transforming the £300k supercar into the 'Anliker McLaren SLR 999 Red Gold Dream' has decided it should give motoring pleasure to some one else, the Swiss businessman employed a team of 35 who spent 30,000 man hours painting the car with 25 layers of red paint mixed with gold dust, each of the car's wheels are covered in 24 carat gold as are the headlights and door sills, and it is decorated with more than 600 rubies,

inside, the gold-trimmed interior has jewel-encrusted indicators, a golden steering wheel and a ruby-covered gear stick, the best part of the car is that the car's supercharged 5.4-litre engine has had power boosted from 640bhp to 999bhp, giving it a top speed of more than 210mph, a snip, with price tag of £7million it has become the world's most expensive vehicle for sale on the open market, then just as I was reaching, for my cheque book, I noticed the one thing that put me off the deal, it was not right hand drive!
