No one expects to have an accident but the more pessimistic rich could do worse than equip themselves with a Flying Spur. Two front airbags, four side airbags protecting both front and rear passengers and curtain airbags are all included as standard. So are seatbelt pretensioners and an electronic stability system. But there is no official data available relating to crash worthiness because the flying Spur hasn’t been put through Euro NCAP’s testing procedure.

As well as scoring more passenger room over its siblings, the Flying Spur gets a much bigger boot although it’s still significantly smaller than a Mondeo’s. Front seat occupants can store things in the door pockets or armrest cubby, while rear occupants in cars with the individual rear seats get a centre console of their own with space for a wallet or phone.

The Spur’s 5.3 metre length means it can be difficult to park and sometimes it’s just difficult finding a space in which it will fit. Luckily parking sensors are standard equipment.
