Rugby World Cup: Arrive in style

Rugby World Cup: Arrive in style - News image

06 September 2007

You’ve got the tickets, donned that team shirt and practiced the crowd chants; now all that’s left is to travel to this year’s Rugby World Cup - in style.

We pick the top six stylish cars to travel to the great game in.

Mini
If only a few of you are going to a game, then any one of the Mini series would be a sensible choice. And what better way to fly the flag than with a Union Jack roof on an original model?

Chrysler Voyager
The big daddy of people carriers, Chrysler’s Voyager provides enough room for a budding group of Rugby fans to arrive not only in style, but in comfort.

Volvo C70 T5
This machine has a 30-second convertible hard top, so passengers can happily wave their scarves in the air to show support. Even if it starts to rain, it’s not a problem. Add that to the notion of this car being both safe and sleek, and we have a winner.

Peugeot 207
One of the more sporty yet affordable vehicles out there, the 207 is an ideal choice for small families or friends who want to turn up in style, the easy way. For the more adventurous out there, the GTi model is sure to turn a few heads.

Ferrari F430Ferrari F430
If you’ve got around £138,000 to spare, why not turn up in France with the purely stylish F430? If speed and panache are your thing, the acceleration of 0-60 in less than four seconds will ensure you arrive in style.

Dodge Viper
As far as iconic imagery goes, the Viper’s twin stripes are up there with the best. Driving a red model with white stripes will convey your appreciation of England – and if the two-seater super car is out of reach, why not add a similar paint job to a more accessible car such as the Volkswagen Golf?
