Simon Cowell eyes up Obama’s limousine May 27, 2011 X Factor boss Simon Cowell was so impressed by President Barack Obama’s armoured limo during his recent visit to the UK and Ireland that the music mogul has reportedly asked to have his own bomb proof Cadillac especially made. Simon Cowell’s spokesperson, the well known celebrity publicist Max Clifford, spoke out this week to confirm that the multi millionaire has enquired into the possibility of commissioning his own armoured limousine, just like the President of America. Obama’s limo, known as The Beast, was shipped over to the UK from the States ahead of the President’s recent visit to the British Isles. The limo was made especially for the President and features a whole raft of high tech safety details including an armoured fuel tank, puncture resistant tyres, bullet proof glass, and much of the vehicle is covered in military grade armour. If Simon Cowell has already placed hire order for his very own Beast limo, he’ll have quite a while to wait as the limousine will take months, maybe even up to a year, to complete. Despite offering a level safety unrivalled by other limos, the Beast did get into a spot of bother during the President’s trip to Ireland when the Cadillac got stuck on a speed bump. Luckily, Obama’s blushes were spared as he wasn’t actually travelling onboard at the time. Source; http://news.limobroker.co.uk/simon-cowe ... ine-50860/ |

As far as I am aware, unless you have a very good reason to need a car to be armoured, you can't have one. You can have an armoured personnel carrier or even a tank but not a car. The government sites that sell these cars stipulate that they are for export only. Take a look at Witham specialist vehicles, they often have them. |
