Caterham Seven Lambretta Special Edition

Few icons are as quintessentially British as the Union Jack and the Caterham Seven. Originally engineered by Lotus, the 7 is still built by British sportscar-maker Caterham, and has now been outfitted for a special edition by British fashion house Lambretta.

The special Seven features a Union Jack motif, complemented inside by a red, white and blue color scheme. Power comes from a modest 1.6-liter Ford inline-four with 125 horsepower driving through a five-speed manual transmission. Which may not sound like much, but given the Caterham's low curb weight, it's still enough to drive it to 60 in six seconds flat.

The Caterham Seven Lambretta Special Edition sells in the UK for £26,995, equivalent to about $42k.

Sunseeker Predator 108 + Caterham 7 = Awesome by Land and Sea

If you've laid out the £7.1 million ($11.4M U.S.) necessary to take ownership of a Sunseeker Predator 108 Special Edition, you might want to give serious thought to whether you need a tender. After all, there are docks, water taxis, and the smaller yachts of lesser mortals to get you from ship-to-shore.

What you might actually want is something as magnificent on land as the Predator is on the water in that case, Sunseeker would like to recommend you install a Caterham 7 in the hold. As a kickstart to inspiration for for visitors to the London Boat Show the yacht maker did just that. Fair warning though: the Predator sleeps eight but the Caterham only seats, so you'll probably need to be nice to the captain to get a ride. And if you really can't do without a tender – Caterhams are known to have a hard time floating in Aegean inlets – allow us to introduce you to the word "inflatable."

The London Boat Show runs until January 17.
