As we passed through the local towns and villages on our way to the famous local Liebenstein Castle where we did our photos, the number of people who stopped and stared was incredible. This was no spectacular and loud supercar, but the effect it had on the local populace was equally amazing.

As we swept majestically across the castle’s threshold, the LWB made the other expensive cars there seem normal both in size and status.
