< Previous60 LINCOLNSHIRE TODAY COUNTY MOTORING Continental GT Speed A comprehensive exterior and interior redesign with clean modern detailing follow the new design DNA established by the coachbuilt Bentley Bacalar and Batur. Outstanding performance is brought by an all-new Ultra Performance Hybrid powertrain with 782 PS and 1,000 Nm, from a 4.0-litre V8 working in tandem with a 190 PS electric motor. 0- 60 mph in 3.1 seconds is the result, with the benefit of 50 miles (81 km) of usable electric-only range (on the EU drive cycle) and a total range of 534 miles (859 km) – creating an everyday supercar. World-leading Bentley interior cabin design, materials, quality, and craftsmanship continue with the introduction of further wellness seat technology, new air ionisation, three- dimensional leather textures, new modern quilting, and technical finishes such as new dark chrome. Maserati GT2 Stradale Maserati GT2 Stradale is an ode to the most extraordinary and exclusive sportiness, the result of a technical and stylistic partnership between the Maserati GT2, a masterpiece of performance created for the brand’s return to GT competitions, and Maserati MC20, an iconic Trident car imbued with an unmistakable style. The Maserati GT2 Stradale combines in-depth technology transfer of the purest performance, typical of a racing car, combined with the intrinsic qualities of the MC20. The new super sports car thus evokes style and racing performance, while ensuring an ideal feeling and comfort in all conditions of use, without sacrificing the best driving experience on the road, typical of Maserati’s offering. With a top speed of over 320 km/h, maximum output increased to 640 hp (10 hp more than the MC20), a weight decreased by 60 kg and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.8 seconds, Maserati GT2 Stradale promises unparalleled sensations and superior performance, partly thanks to its sophisticated aerodynamics and attractive design inherited from its racing sibling.

Gino Santa Maria68 LINCOLNSHIRE TODAY Aries Mar 21 - Apr 20 A reoccurring domestic situation is proving to be tiresome and showing signs of becoming unresolved unless honesty and transparency is displayed. Love and romance can sometimes become very complicated and you may find yourself dealing with a very delicate situation when a close friend reveals that they have developed strong feelings for you. Taurus Apr 21 - May 21 You enjoy a little bit of excitement, drama and intrigue and like nothing more than to meet interesting new people of good character and interesting conversation. Romance could develop, which is all very well and good, but it’s in your work and business area where you need to focus your attention, especially if you are concerned about the state of your finances. Gemini May 22 - June 21 An admirer may have taken an obvious liking for you and your attraction towards them could be equally as strong, but it’s also possible that things are not moving quickly enough for you because you want to know where you stand in their list of priorities. Keep a careful eye on expenditure. Cancer Jun 22 - Jul 23 Many things will change and some beyond your control. Personal relationships will be under scrutiny and if you are not careful, you could become carried away by someone who you make an instantaneous connection with. Past mistakes may make you fearful of committing to anything long term until you feel more sure about your feelings. Leo Jul 24 - Aug 23 If someone provokes you beyond all endurance, then by all means give them something to think about but make sure you have the right target and are in full possession of the facts. You must make your own decisions and realise that there will be some far-reaching consequences to deal with at a later date. Virgo Aug 24 - Sep 23 Whatever you do over the coming weeks, someone will claim that you are doing things wrong or failing to tick all their boxes. Regardless of what is going on, another drama is beginning to develop behind the scenes that will affect your personal life. Challenging conversations and confrontations look possible, but nothing you cannot deal with. Libra Sep 24 - Oct 23 Business and financial matters will prove difficult and as in all important negotiations, compromises must be reached if any kind of progress or headway is to take place. Perhaps you are trying too hard to live up to others’ ideals in order to make yourself popular, but you will be shown far more respect if you display inner self confidence. Scorpio Oct 24 - Nov 22 Information comes your way that makes you realise just how right you were all along about numerous things. As a truth seeker and someone who likes to deal with the facts rather than give others the benefit of the doubt, you will uncover just what has been going on behind closed doors away from prying eyes.

If you want to improve your prospects, you will have to stray away from a well-trodden path but remain focused on the star prize whilst you are navigating your way through troubled waters. Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 20 You are living in some very exciting times and what awaits you is truly phenomenal, but you will find yourself challenged by people who really don’t have a clue as to what they are talking about. Romantic, clandestine meetings with someone you find charismatic and interesting will result in you opening your eyes to all kinds of new possibilities. Aquarius Jan 21 - Feb 19 You want to get things done, including tying up a few loose ends before embarking on the next leg of your journey. Overseas travel looks like an attractive possibility and if single and looking for companionship, you can expect some very good, exciting news coming your way soon. Pisces Feb 20 - Mar 20 Sometimes even the best plans have to be suddenly changed at the last minute and without much warning you may have to make some emergency contingency plans if you are to save money and avoid a disaster. A romantic dinner date could turn out to be one of the most enjoyable occasions you have experienced. 263914875 874365192 915728643 751689324 692431587 438572916 529843761 186257439 347196258 961583274 352497168 478261953 126734589 843956712 795812346 534128697 689375421 217649835classified To advertise your services call Angela Cooper at Lincolnshire Today on 01472 310310 British Classics Heritage Motors Parts 1948 to date Retail Trade Export Special Projects Restorations Manufacturing Modifications Country Workshops Risegate, Nr Spalding, Lincs, PE11 4EZ Classic Landrovers Tel/Fax 01775 750223 www.british4x4centre.co.uk Motors Stuart Wilde Photography Ltd The best photography is about much more than taking a picture.
