As some of you probably know I manage a car recovery firm at the weekends.

Decided to take some pictures of the prestige stuff we've had in for your enjoyment.

What do you mean by recovery?

Stolen? Or repo?

Stolen/dealer transportation and breakdowns.

We don't do any repo stuff yet.

Heck yeah.. that Quattroporte is a stunning car..!! Love it!! I'd have to pick it over the 7er, S, A8, LS, etc. coz it's so appealing and has a certain 'flare' to ir rather than the clinical approach of the German's.

But that Ferrari interior... WOW... that is such a marvellous interior combination and design. Love It..!!!

Great pictures, how often to you see cars as nice as these!

Is it quite often?

What would you say was the most common car to break down?

Considering how many Quattroportes have been sold in the UK and how many are in the West Mids they are generally very unreliable - we've had around 15 in 3 months. The main issue being electrical problems. The Ferraris are also unreliable but generally not so bad.

In terms of volumes there is usually one or two Ferraris to move in a week - quite a few of which are 360 Spiders. We've also moved to 612s as well.

As far as other prestige marques go - I am not sure how unreliable other makes are as we do not work for them. We're going to expand in the near future and hopefully have another prestige client in the near future.

This may sound really weird, but that Maserati Quattroporte looks absolutely stunning on that tow truck. It's the ANGLE the way the car is positioned. A 3/4 rear view with the front raised up...beautiful. Yes, I realize how weird this sounds.
