Vellard · £2,795 on the forecourt
Vellard Chancer
Made for the lad with a Saturday job and a freshly laminated licence
The Vellard Chancer: a 2013 three-door hatch in Drizzle Grey, 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 the lad with a Saturday job and a freshly laminated licence. Ask Gary about its history and he will tell you: Sporty. A proper head-turner.
The advert’s headline is Nought to sixty in “a bit”. It runs on petrol, holds 56 litres and manages about 42 miles to the gallon in a normal week of driving, so a full tank is good for roughly 517 miles.
“Sporty! Look at the lines. Look at that line there. And that one.”
“Head-turner. People will look. Oh, they'll look.”
“Two cars' worth of car, for the price of one. Metaphorically.”
