Vellard · £4,495 on the forecourt
Vellard Alderman
Made for councillors, and anyone with a lanyard
The Vellard Alderman: a 2015 executive saloon in Town Hall White, and one of the twelve on the forecourt at Cutshaw & Shutt, on the Radworth Ringway. Mind how you go, as the badge says.
Its advert in the showroom is aimed at councillors, and anyone with a lanyard. Ask Gary about its history and he will tell you: Ex-council. Chauffeured the mayor.
The advert’s headline is Arrive like you've got a lanyard. It runs on diesel, holds 56 litres and manages about 52 miles to the gallon in a normal week of driving, so a full tank is good for roughly 641 miles.
“Civic car, this. Very civic. Very respectable.”
“Back seat's been sat in by the mayor. Put your hand on it. Feel that? Power.”
“Big boot. Council-sized. You could lose a budget in there.”
