The most expensive cars in the world grace Salon Privé - British Motor Show 2010

1951 Jaguar XK120 Fixed Head Coupe: About £100,000. The XK120 was the world's fastest production car when it was launched first.

2010 Aston Martin Rapide: £144,950. One of the newest cars featured is also one of the cheapest. Relatively of course.

2010 Lexus LFA: £336,000. Some critics reckon this is a lot to pay for a 'posh Toyota', but the LFA is a proper supercar - and it's sold out.

2010 Maybach 62: £300,170. Reckon size doesn't matter? Maybach's model naming is based around the number of inches in the wheelbase.

2010 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport. About £1 million. For a car that's still ostensibly on sale, it's very difficult to put a precise price on it.

1991 - 1995 Bugatti EB110: About £200,000. This is the Veyron's predecessor

1930 Bugatti Type 50: About £150,000. Old Bugattis continue to be sought after by collectors, but the provenance and history of the car mean as much as condition.

1930 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750: About £700,000. Stunning early Alfa in more than one way.

1935 Alfa Romeo 6C Aerodinamica Spider: Priceless? We believe that this beauty is a one-off following a thorough restoration.

1932 Alfa Romeo Monza: Up to £3 million. From an age where it was difficult to differentiate between sports cars for the road and full-on racers.

1937 Bugatti Type 57C: Up to £6 million. Values for this much-loved Bugatti vary hugely, but most people are in agreement about its gorgeous looks.

1959 Ferrari 196 S: About £2 million. Form and function combine in this late Fifties racing Ferrari.

1997 Ferrari F50: About £350,000. For some reason enthusiasts seem to forget about the F50; it succeeded the F40 and preceded the Enzo and it's a very real supercar.

1960 Maserati 250F: About £450,000. You may have guess from the lack of lighting that this is an early race car; in fact it competed in Formula One.

1956 Maserati A6G-54GT Zagato: About £200,000. The Maserati A6 was built in many different formats and featured bodies designed by several coach-building companies.

2010 Veritas RSIII V10: About £330,000. This open-topped supercar packs a BMW V10 engine and a 216mph top speed - only 30 are to be made.

2010 Rolls-Royce Phantom: £275,990. For the ultimate new luxury car, look no further.

1935 Alfa Romeo 6C Aerodinamica Spider is certainly a one off and built by the Jankowitz brothers in Flume now in Croatia. According to Luigi Fussi of the ALFA Romeo Museum it is no more or less than a special with no history of ever having been an ALFA Romeo project at all, no matter what the current owner would have you believe.

Wheels and Rims welcome note

There are many people today who are intrigued and excited about pimped cars. Of course much of the hype has come from great movies, like the "Fast and Furious" movies and other great movies that focus on pimped out cars. But there are some of us where the passion goes beyond just a beautiful body work. We can mention the make, year, and the type of engine and its capacity. (i can sometimes tell you how many seconds it takes from 0-60miles per/hr). But most of the time, we see cars pimped but never up to expectation; poorly done with bad finishing and thus spoiling the essence of the beauty and statement. We see a beautifully pimped car and everything stands still. when we touch them, its like they speak to our very soul.; i know they call you a "freak"...trust me; you are not alone.

Our aim is to help you modify your car and its engine to improve engine performance and handling by providing you with tips, informations and advice you need to select the correct high performance auto parts for your car and to install them correctly.
