Bentley Continental Flying Spur Speed, The chauffer driven choice

The Bentley Continental Flying Spur Speed's name highlights that it's been designed to whisk you across continents in the utmost comfort, style and speed. If you're too busy to do the driving to and from the slopes, or your legs are a bit tired, then the Bentley is the perfect car for you. Sit in the back in opulent leather and wood-lined luxury and let your chauffer worry about the road conditions. With four-wheel drive the Continental Flying Spur Speed should cope very well indeed - so long as you've had your driver sort out a set of snow tyres before setting off.

The boot is massive too, so all your gear should fit in with ease, but ask Bentley's people to fashion you a roof box for your skis or board. While you're at it ask them whether they have any Bentley skis, as one of the traditional British luxury car maker's suppliers is a ski manufacturer - the strengthening cross-members underneath the Spur's Azure open-topped relative being the same material as used to make racing skis.
