Yep, as said, other than Aston Martin, most of the other brand in this sector shouldn't be losing money, the People who buy Cars at this price level financially aren't suffering,other than COVID which affects all, although a certain Tennis player thought he could do as he pleases, so to a certain extent , the sales of these Cars doesn't affect the overall sales of what you and I buy.

Although said Tennis player got a medical exemption from Tennis Australia because he survived Covid-19 in December 2021 and has the antibodies for at least 6 months. He was following Australian laws and the Judge said he should be released. It's just the Australia Government playing politics to punish the unvaccinated. It doesn't look good for the Country on an international stage.

Well deserved sales success. The success of the gorgeously handsome Ghost 2 is not surprising, but Cullinan outselling Ghost in the UK is hard to believe. But there you are, make any SUV and they will sell.

Good news for RR but clearly shows the world wide economic concern is only for the 99.99%!
