Jo-Anne and team who ran the Clowne and Worksop marathon

Mac, in Chesterfield Royal Hospital’s neonatal unit

Neonatal promise MUM’S MAMMOTH FUNDRAISING MISSION IN MEMORY OF BELOVED SON, MAC. mum is on a mission to raise £50,000 for Chesterfield Royal Hospital in memory of her premature baby son.

Mac Oldfield was born 15 weeks early on 18 September 2013 and lived for a precious 17 days. He was expertly and compassionately cared for by the hospital’s neonatal unit. Mum Jo-Anne Oldfield spent two days in a coma in the intensive therapy unit (ITU) where she had a full blood transfusion and three platelet transfusions.

Devastated by the loss of Mac, Jo-Anne, the managing director of The Sitwell Arms Hotel in Renishaw, suffered a period of intense grief and was nurtured by her close-knit family. In time, the determined businesswoman set her mind on helping other parents with babies in the neonatal unit by raising funds and awareness.

To date, Jo-Anne has raised £35,000 which she has donated to the hospital to invest in the unit. She also regularly shares her story with health professionals and parents to shine a light on the condition she suffered during her pregnancy, called placenta previa, and the aftermath of premature birth.

Jo-Anne said: “I fundraise for a number of reasons but primarily because I want to do what I can to give other premature babies the best possible chance of a healthy life. I really want to help other families who find themselves forced into similar circumstances to ours in the hope they will have a happier outcome.

“Sharing my story and talking about Mac helps me deal with his loss and allows me to reach out to others who have also struggled to come to terms with losing a child.”

A

Jo-Anne continues to support the neonatal unit as well as fulfilling her commitments as a wife, mother, daughter, sister, auntie, MD of The Sitwell, personal trainer and nutritionist.

On Saturday, 24 February she will host a black-tie dinner in the banqueting suite at The Sitwell Arms Hotel, independently owned and run by Jo-Anne’s family.

Forthcoming fundraising events at The Sitwell Arms Hotel Black-Tie Dinner Saturday 24 February £40 per person or £350 for a table of ten Four-course dinner, live entertainment, disco, raffle and auction Pamper & Prosecco Evening Friday 29 April £16 per person Glass of Prosecco, 20-minute treatment, live entertainment, nibbles, raffle and disco Golf Day at Renishaw Park Friday 7 September £220 for a team of four Breakfast, round of golf, presentation dinner and raffle All funds raised are donated to the neonatal unit at Chesterfield Royal Hospital in loving memory of Mac Oldfield. Call 01246 435226 or visit www.sitwellarms.com for further details and to book tickets.

Guests will enjoy a four-course dinner followed by live music and a disco. There will be an auction, raffle and presentation of prizes. Tickets cost £40 per person or £350 for a table of ten, including four complimentary bottles of house wine. This prestigious evening is kindly sponsored by Philip James Butchers, a traditional and high quality family-run butchers in Sandygate Road, Sheffield.

Jo-Anne’s campaign started in January 2014 when she organised a casino night and auction. Since then she has run up to five fundraising events each year, from half marathons to golf days and by taking part in Sober October.

She said: “What makes my challenge of raising £50,000 all the more rewarding is the support I receive from my family, friends, colleagues and customers of The Sitwell. It can overwhelm me at times. I’m a great believer in focusing on the positives that emerge from a negative situation and I can honestly say this whole experience has brought us even closer as a family.”

Jo-Anne praised the “amazing” NHS staff she had met along the way and who she said did a very challenging job. “I have gained a friend for life in my midwife who continues to support me personally and professionally and I cannot thank her enough.”

If you would like to get involved with JoAnne’s fundraising campaign or if you have ideas that Jo-Anne could help you with, email her at jo-anne@sitwellarms.com Free venue hire is available at The Sitwell Arms Hotel for anyone who is also wanting to hold a fundraising event.

Autohaus Dolby can service everything from VW campervans to modern hybrid cars

TAKING GREAT PRIDE IN THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE, NEWLY-EXTENDED AUTOHAUS DOLBY IS PERFECTLY PLACED TO SERVICE YOUR VOLKSWAGEN GROUP VEHICLE. ou may choose a car based on your lifestyle, or perhaps you trust a particular make or model. But it is just as important to find a garage that fully understands and uses the correct equipment for your vehicle.

If you drive a Volkswagen, Audi, Seat or Skoda, help is at hand. Autohaus Dolby only work on Volkswagen group cars and vans and provide the sort of brand-specific knowledge you’d expect from a franchised dealer, only at independent prices.

Established ten years ago by Matt Dolby, this independent business offers a comprehensive service for Volkswagen owners, tailored to their specific vehicle. The staff at Autohaus Dolby have specialist knowledge of the brand and pride themselves on their friendly and approachable service.

“Out of everything we do, our major service with comprehensive service checklist is the most popular and helpful thing we

Y

The newly-extended premises

offer our customers and it’s testament to what Autohaus Dolby is all about,” says Matt.

“Customer service and creating more positive and personal relationships with our customers is just as important to us. They’re not isolated from the person who works on their vehicle so they can really get a good understanding of what goes into keeping it in great shape.”

The garage, based within easy reach of Sheffield, Rotherham and Barnsley at Century Street Industrial Estate, has a cosy office where you can help yourself to a coffee and talk to a member of their team. The garage also recently had an extension and can now cater for even more vehicles.

Autohaus Dolby uses Volkswagen’s own service schedule, original equipment parts and specialised equipment to deal with any VW group model. Working alongside Aran Haigh and Al Crookes, whose knowledge of such vehicles is second to none, Matt and the team

Enjoy the use of a free courtesy car

aim to provide a service to exceed all expectations.

“We’re a small, friendly business and we make every effort to be easy to deal with. We do a proper job, offer a more personal service than the dealer and we are considerably cheaper,” adds Matt. “Even the tools we use are specially designed for Volkswagen group vehicles. All modern cars need modern equipment and we are always up to date in that department.”

Matt and his team are happy to repair or service everything from old split screen VW campervans, to the latest car models, but they are also moving with the trends of tomorrow too. The team are now taking on turbo-diesel and hybrid vehicles. A fast charging service is available for all Autohaus customers.

A minor service starts from £99 and a major service is from £169 including VAT, parts and labour and timing belt and water pump changes, with all genuine Volkswagen parts at £346 for the vast majority of vehicles.

Another thing that makes Autohaus stand out from the crowd, is the option to drive away in a free Volkswagen courtesy car, so that you can continue your day as normal.

Make it an occasion to remember FROM BRIGHT COLOURS TO BRICK WALLS, THESE WEDDING VENUE IDEAS WILL HELP YOU TIE THE KNOT IN STYLE. BY EMILY SMITH AND RACHEL MARTIN. rom decor to dresses, current flairs are a must-watch for all brides and grooms-to-be, and with wedding trends coming and going faster than you can say “I do,” knowing what to watch out for in the nuptial-sphere is a must in order to tie the knot in style.

Because the most important day of your life deserves to live up to its name, customise your venue with these ideas in mind and make it an occasion to remember.

PANTONE’S COLOUR OF THE YEAR Pantone’s Colour of the Year brings a dramatic shade of ultraviolet to the stage, focusing on an unconventional royally rich hue.

It’s a versatile option for any venue and this bright and mysterious tone boasts possibilities from blueberry cake décor, to bouquets of lavender roses.

Strip back to basics and tone down the intensity of ultraviolet when opting for more a more natural wedding. Lilac cocktails, mauve bridesmaid dresses, muted purple placemats and amethyst florals can all add a touch of regality without being theatrical.

Alternatively, bold violets, rich wine and plum hues can complement the stark white of a bridal gown.

Lilac cocktails can be a real show-stopper

WEDDINGS

Lace detailing adds a boho touch

WAREHOUSE Last year charted the rise of the warehouse wedding and it remains full steam ahead.

Stark brick walls and industrial architecture offer a blank canvas and rooms can be decorated without limitations, with strings of fairy lights, candles and Nordic décor to contrast the rustic and raw backdrop.

BOHO Bohemian adornments are a trend to watch, fittingly pairing with the warehouse trend. Elegant and intricate boho motifs such as lace detailing, ornate beading and neutral florals introduce this simple accent to your day, while copper lanterns and vintage mason jars are a sure way to inject individuality and personal style.

FOLIAGE Pastel green and white foliage is stealing the spotlight, adding an elegant touch to table centrepieces and bouquets, while white roses and hibiscus can be dotted amidst vines of moss-topped undergrowth.

For hanging floral installations, Eucalyptus and cactus’ go hand in hand, and wreaths and garlands can be suspended over entrances for a grander facade.

FINISHING TOUCHES

Add some fun with a photo booth

If you’re looking for ways to entertain your wedding guests, consider a photo booth. Your guests will love posing for fun snaps and can take the pictures home as favours.

Dessert tables are the hottest new wedding trend and they’re a great idea if you’re looking for a creative way to display your wedding cake. Invite guests to bring a cake or pudding to the reception venue, where they are displayed buffet style for everyone to enjoy after the main course.

There are those couples that ban mobile phones on their wedding day, and those that fully embrace the digital age by creating a wedding hashtag for guests to upload their happy snaps to Twitter and Instagram for the rest of the party to enjoy.

Pop a hashtag on placemats, invitations or centrepieces to create something really personal.

WEDDINGS

When romance comes alive...

IT’S THE MOST MAGICAL TIME – AND PERFECT FOR CELEBRATING YOUR BIG DAY. HANNAH SANDERS LOOKS AT HOW YOU CAN MAKE YOUR WINTER WEDDING ONE TO REMEMBER. lthough many couples choose to say ‘I do’ in the spring and summer months, there is something utterly magical about a winter wedding.

Often described as the most romantic season, winter weddings are becoming increasingly popular, with shimmering snowflakes (if you’re lucky!), champagne-hues and twinkling lights adorning the mantles, not to mention a beautiful backdrop for memorable photography.

So, if you’ve always wanted to have a winter wonderland fairytale wedding, here are some ideas to help you embrace the cold and create the perfect day.

A

WEDDINGS

Colour schemes Avoid the classic red and greens and opt for a silver, white and baby blue theme.

Why not decorate in rich, warm tones of berry red, burgundy or gold or add extra wintery romance with lots of natural greenery. Textures are also important in the colder months, so consider using velvets or satins.

CAKE Winter wedding cakes are not only about style and sophistication, but there needs to be an element of warmth and comfort, and of course it goes without saying that it should be a showstopper.

If you want to add a rustic touch, choose the popular ‘naked cakes’ and decorate with berries, pine cones and greenery. You could even tie some cinnamon around the bottom layer to give it that festive scent. Add a boho element with a natural colour palette and charming deer decorations – don’t forget to add that bit of sparkle with a dusting of gold glitter. If you are wanting to go for simplicity, opt for a three-tier cake decorated in ivy icing, add a Mr & Mrs topper to the top in your colour scheme and create a waterfall of seasonal blooms down the side.

Bride & Groom wear There’s a lot to consider when planning any wedding, but winter weddings come with their own unique challenges and considerations – especially the temperature.

Staying warm is essential as nobody likes to see red noses or blue hands so picking the right accessories to keep you cosy is key.

For the bride, the most obvious option to add some extra warmth to your outfit is sleeves. Full length, three-quarter or short sleeves add that bit of coverage to keep the chills away. Alternatively, pair your dress with faux fur throws, shawls or brightly glittering cardigans to add some sparkle to your day.

When it comes to the groom’s attire, it is still important for him to look elegant while of course keeping warm. Plaid shirts paired with bow ties are stylish and simple, and for those outside photographs add a woollen jumper. If you want to opt for something a little smarter, have a tweed or velvet suit.

Don’t forget footwear either. Boots for both parties can be a tasteful (and practical) shoe option for winter weddings.

Venue The venue is one of the most important aspects of your big day, so it’s key to take your time and choose the place that is right for you both.

Unless you want to provide your guests with parkas and furry mittens, getting married in the winter months means an indoor wedding. If you are settled on a true winter wonderland, visit castles and stately homes, which will be an ideal setting for an unforgettable wedding.

If you want something more traditional, choose your local church for the ceremony followed by a reception at a favourite hotel or, if you are set on an outdoor wedding perhaps in a barn, make sure it is well insulated and be prepared to have lots of heaters.

If you’re opting for a registry office make sure you know where you are going for photographs, and if this is outside then supply your guests with brollies, scarves, hats, gloves and even blankets.

Bridesmaids & Groomsmen Don’t forget to keep your wedding party warm too, with cover-ups for the bridesmaids and scarves for the groomsmen.

For the dresses, go for a charcoal grey, burgundy red or if you are feeling festive opt for sequin or glitter dresses. Keep it simple with the groomsmen by choosing a white shirt and pairing it with a coloured tie.

WINTER WEDDING TIPS: • If possible have just one venue • Allow extra travel time • Have a coat check at the reception • Keep guests warm by supplying blankets and hand-warmers

• Bring umbrellas in case of rain • Have wellies on standby • Make sure you adjust your photography schedule as it gets darker earlier in winter

Favours Give out small packages of chocolatecovered cranberries, roasted chestnuts or salted caramel toffee. You could even create mini hot chocolate mixes, soy candles or bake gingerbread cookies.

Décor Decorations set the tone for the entire day, so you need to be sure that you love the décor at both the ceremony and reception.

Make use of pine cones by turning them into a placecard holder, garland or add some gold spray and use them as part of a table centrepiece or try spray-painted wine bottles paired with pillar candles to create a cosy, inexpensive wedding look.

Another great way to add some colour to your venue is through chair decorations. Use brightly coloured ribbon to add bows to the chairs, create dainty wreaths or even glitter cut outs of simple stars to add a touch of elegance.

Keep your guests toasty with a hot beverage bar, where they can help themselves to hot chocolate, mulled wine or hot apple cider. Decorate your drink station with DIY signs and simple foliage.

Put your plan into action THINKING ABOUT EQUITY RELEASE? WE SPEAK TO SIMON CHALK, OF LATERLIVING NOW!, ABOUT THE BEST WAY FORWARD.

aterliving now! is the leading local specialist equity release adviser, helping you to release the money tied up in your home so you can enjoy it now.

Equity release is becoming increasingly popular as people are living longer and tend to store up vast sums of housing wealth.

Simon Chalk, director of Laterliving now! has specialised in equity release as a Laterliving Planner for over 15 years. His job is to help clients decide if this service is right for them, before putting a plan in action that is as simple and straightforward as possible.

Here, he answers some of his clients most frequently asked questions.

It’s your money so you can pretty much use it as you wish. Most people want to do simple things like repaying mortgages and debts, improving homes and lifestyle, or gifting to family, which are all acceptable reasons to lenders.

It’s very important to me, as your adviser, that I consider your reasons for releasing equity to be safe. If I’m unhappy or uncomfortable with your plans I will tell you and may suggest that you do not proceed with your application.

My success is built on professional reputation and integrity. I will always have your best interests at heart.

How much money can I release?

How long does it take to receive my money?

This is determined by the age of the youngest borrower. Unlike normal mortgages, the older you are, the more you can have.

For example, a 55-year-old borrower may currently raise up to 25 per cent of their property’s value, whereas someone in their 80s may be able to raise up to 54 per cent.

Some providers offer larger sums to those with certain medical conditions, past health issues and lifestyle factors such as smoking.

You don’t have to undergo any medical examination and they will meet any cost of obtaining medical records with your consent.

From application to completion, it typically takes around four weeks for a straightforward case, with applications under a power of attorney taking up to six to eight weeks.

That depends on what you compare it with!

There isn’t another form of borrowing that offers no monthly repayments and that only needs to be repaid after you’ve died. At present, clients are enjoying record low fixedfor-life interest rates, so it is a good time to consider releasing equity.

Can I lose my home if I take out equity release?

Have other questions? Then you are most welcome to call or visit our website to make an enquiry.

L

Can I do what I like with the equity release money?

No. I only recommend plans from providers that are members of the Equity Release Council (ERC) and adopt the ERC’s rules and guidance. The ERC’s rules state that a provider must allow you to remain in your own home until the last borrower dies or moves into long-term care.

Again, a very definite NO! When your home is eventually sold, the loan plus any accrued interest will be repaid from the sale proceeds with the remaining funds belonging to you – or your estate in the event of the death of the last borrower.

In the extremely unlikely event of the property selling for less than the outstanding loan balance, then the lender writes-off the excess under the ‘no-negative equity guarantee’ offered under the Equity Release Council’s rules.

Is equity release expensive?

HEROES

YOUNGSTERS CHAY AND FALLON RAISE THOUSANDS TO HELP LUNG DISEASE SUFFERERS LIKE THEIR GRANDAD, GORDON. In the swim: Fallon, Gordon and Chay

LITTLE SUPERSTARS he young grandchildren of a lung disease patient were so touched by the story of his care, that they raised thousands of pounds for the Sheffield Hospitals Charity backed group which has supported him.

Gordon Harrison, aged 60, from Dronfield, was diagnosed with chronic and progressive lung disease: Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) five years ago, leaving him breathless and relying on a home oxygen supply.

His grandchildren, Chay (nine) and Fallon (six) raised £2,000 for Sheffield Hospitals Charity to help fund the Sheffield Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) Support Group, which has supported Gordon and his wife Lynn throughout his diagnosis and care.

Gordon said: “At the start of my diagnosis my symptoms were easily manageable, but over time I have become more and more breathless, and I’m now on a waiting list for a lung transplant.

“The seriousness of the illness, its progressive nature and my long term prognosis has required lots of soul searching and management. I could not have done any of these things without the support of my wife Lynn, our family, our network of friends and the Sheffield Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) Support Group.

“The group was formed so that patients can meet up together outside the hospital environment and share experiences of coping and living with the disease. It is focussed on mutual support, learning and research. It ensures that everyone remains

positive and can maintain the best quality of life - and it works.

“I could not be more proud of Chay and Fallon. The idea of doing something to help me and the support group was exclusively theirs. The last length of their epic swim marked a seminal moment for our family and one which we will never forget.”

Chay and Fallon’s mum, Cheryl, said: “The Sheffield ILD Support Group has been a great help to Gordon and my mum. It’s really important to have the opportunity to chat with other people who are, or have been, in a similar situation to yourself and who can provide practical advice and answer those difficult questions that only people who’ve been there can do.

“The kids decided to do a sponsored swim to try and raise money for their Grandad as they wanted to help him get better. They are both extremely close to Gordon and look up to him a great deal. We all share days out and holidays together.

“Chay swam 2km and Fallon swam 1.6km – the equivalent of 144 lengths. Neither of them had done anywhere near this distance before, we were amazed. They are little superstars and we’re so very proud of them.”

As well as Chay and Fallon’s fundraising, Jonathan Hardwick at Ryehill Wealth Management, who is Gordon’s financial advisor, donated a further £2,000, and an extra £1,000 from other sources brought the total to £5,000.

WE’RE ON THE HUNT FOR HEROES Never mind Superman or Wonder Woman...

Image is on the look-out for some real life local heroes.

We know there are lots of people out there who dedicate a huge part of their lives to making the world a better place for others.

We’re taking about people like John Burkhill (far right), our very own prampushing, wig-wearing, fund-raising legend.

He’s the Man with the Pram, who has dedicated his life to raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Quite rightly, John has become an instantly recognisable and widely praised local personality because of his tireless efforts to improve the lives of others. But we know there are many more inspirational characters out there whose stories deserve to be shared.

That’s why Image is searching for the heroes and heroines who are really making a difference in our community.

Do you know someone who is going that extra mile to raise funds for a good cause or make a difference in their community?

Has a friend or relative overcome adversity and channelled their energies into helping others?

Please let us know... so we can share the good news in Image every month.

Gabby Craft has been accepted to read veterinary medicine at Girton College, Cambridge, Frankie Grech has been offered a place at St Hilda’s College, Oxford, to study French and linguistics and Aleena Waseem has been accepted to read History at St Catherine’s College, Oxford.

OCHRE DIKE CLEAN UP CAMPAIGN The project to clear up and maintain a historic Sheffield waterway begins again in February with the first in a series of special volunteer days.

Ochre Dike is a small stream that rises in the Gleadless Townend area and meanders past Crystal Peaks before joining the River Rother in nearby Beighton.

Crystal Peaks shopping mall has a long running project with the Riverside Stewardship Company to restore the neglected waterway as part of its campaign to support the environment and volunteers are welcome to join the scheme when its 2018 sessions begin on 16 February.

Further dates for the first half of the year will include 16 March, 21 April, 25 May 25, 23 June and 19 July.

The River Stewardship Company (RSC) was established by a group of public and third sector partners including Sheffield City Council, Groundwork Sheffield, Sheffield Wildlife Trust, Environment Agency, South Yorkshire Forest, Five Weirs Walk Trust and Upper Don Walk Trust.

It undertakes riverside management work and community projects involving local communities and volunteers.

To find out more about getting involved call 0114 354 0012 or email info@thersc.co.uk

Award for Concept Interiors Sheffield interior design company, Concept Interiors, has won a Best of Houzz award for their design and customer service.

Houzz, the leading platform for home renovation and design, named Concept Interiors the winners of the Best of Design and Customer Service award. More than 40 million users from the Houzz community voted for the Sheffield company.

Managing director of Houzz, Marcus Hartwall, said: “We’re so pleased to award Best of Houzz 2018 to this incredible group of talented and customer-focused professionals, including Concept Interiors Ltd. “Each of these businesses was singled out for recognition by our community of homeowners and design enthusiasts for helping to turn their home improvement dreams into reality.”

Great cup run comes to an end Westbourne school’s under 13 cricket team proudly finished runners up in the Sheffield Schools cricket tournament.

The team played a fine tournament, beating King Ecgbert’s and Parkwood in their league matches before reaching the final.

Only a very strong Ecclesfield side stopped them, but Westbourne held its head high after coming up against much larger schools.

On the Westbourne website Mr Motley said: “Cristina and Rosie were awesome as wicket keepers through the tournament, whilst Evie, Lulu and Trixie scored over 25 runs and therefore had to retire when they batted.

“Erin, Grace, Jessica and Esme all bowled and fielded well as well as scoring runs when they batted. The girls were quick to learn the intricacies of the indoor rules and amended their play accordingly. It was truly a fabulous team effort, expertly captained by Lulu.”

Still time to join the SWFC Charity Cup There’s still time to sign up for the Sheffield Wednesday Charity Cup… and support St Luke’s Hospice.

The Charity Cup is the unique sporting challenge that raises money for Sheffield’s only hospice and the Sheffield Wednesday Community Programme.

Kicking off on Saturday 14 April, two Sheffield Wednesday teams – both home and away sides – will battle it out to win the prestigious Charity Cup. And to take part and play for Wednesday – alongside some special sporting guest stars – all you have to do is raise a minimum of £500 per person.

In return, players get full use of the SWFC player’s facilities and changing rooms, receive a SWFC kit, and a meal after the game for themselves and a guest in the 1867 suite as well as a souvenir team photograph and player’s medal.

To find out more, receive a registration form and secure a shirt number players need to simply email football@hospicesheffield.co.uk Image | www.imagemagazine.co.uk 49

THERE’S PLENTY TO WHET THE APPETITE IN 2018, WRITES JORDAN CUTFORTH.

Red rag to a bull

Z CARS The highly delightful and exceptionally enjoyable Mazda MX-5 has a new addition to its line-up – It’s called the Z-Sport.

Limited to just 300 cars, the Z-Sport stands out from the rest of the range by introducing a cherry-coloured roof, BBS alloy wheels and sand leather seats.

Like the standard MX-5 the Z-Sport will be powered by a 157hp 2.0-litre petrol motor with the power being sent to the rear wheels via a delicious six-speed snappy manual gearbox. No 1.5-litre engine available here.

The Z-Sport represents the first chance to buy a currentgeneration MX-5 convertible with an alternatively coloured fabric roof. No other model has this feature therefore it is Prices start from £25,595 when the car goes on sale from 1 March 2018.

The Focus RS is, to put it bluntly, a road-going heat-seeking missile. It is one of the fastest cars on typical British B-roads and yet it’s just a Ford with a Ford pricetag.

Available only from February until March, Ford has released what they call the RS Red Edition. This ‘pack’ allows the Focus RS to be ordered with a Race Red exterior body colour accompanied by black-cast alloy wheels and some grey-finished brake callipers.

It features contrasting black roof, door mirrors and rear spoiler, plus partial leather Recaro seats and carbon fibre trim. Other features include rear parking sensors, Active City Stop, cruise control and privacy glass.

Just 300 units will be built with a pricetag starting from £36,295.

Living up to its name Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you the fastest and most extreme McLaren road car ever made – the McLaren Senna.

With a name bearing the most famous F1 drivers’ name of them all, Ayrton Senna, this car must live up to its promise and live up to it it does indeed. For starters, this car is a race-car legalised for the road. How cool is that?

It’s the lightest McLaren road car since the iconic McLaren F1 and – being powered by a 789hp 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 – the most powerful internal combustion McLaren engine to date – it will be able to bend the laws of physics (almost).

Like all modern McLaren products, it has a mid-engine reardrive chassis.

Priced at £750,000.
