The Brits have Rolls, Bentley (both German owned) and Jags (Indian owned) so that's OK.

But Maserati - ahhhh, that's sheer style. I love them. Even owned one once.

I remember Amanpuri once picked me up in a Volvo. I wasn't impressed. But Amansara has that fabulous 1960s Merc.
Amanpuri and Amankila don't have particularly special cars do they? Short ride (which can be long - thanks traffic) in Manila, but I don't recall Amanpulo's ride being impressive either.

The classic Merc at Amansara was incredible.
