105 Longnose

The crazy world of Kahn Design.

This 105 Longnose is a prototype vehicle that was built specifically for the Geneva Motorshow!

The Longnose is in Volcanic Rock Satin with grey deep dish alloys

The interior on this car is one I am really proud of.
The trim used within the vehicle is 100% Lambswool from Abraham Moons,  and contains UK British hide.

The car has a 6.2 litre engine with 430bhp, and an automatic gear box.

Quilted leather roof lining & GTB sport seats with silver stitching.

This car was coach built in the UK, the interior was handmade in Bradford, designed by Kahn Design and was showcased at Geneva. The vehicle is a labour of love for our boss Afzal,  and I love it!

The car is currently for sale and is a unique buy!

London Yacht Jet & Prestige Car Show

This week we have been attending the London Yacht, Jet and Prestige Car Show.  

The event is situated at Old Billingsgate Market on the River Thames.

The event has been on since the 8th April, closing today on the 10th at 8pm.  

You do require a ticket to enter the event, however if you are walking along the embankment and fancy a nosy at a Kahn vehicle then we are positioned just outside the main entrance, so you do not require a ticket.

The view from Old Billingsgate over looks the HMS Belfast, Tower Bridge and The Shard. 

Alex & Jamie who are both based in Yorkshire are working at the event!

 If you get chance call down and see the cars, and the guys will be happy to answer any questions.

After my short lived trip to London I am pleased to be back in the office working on some new textiles for the design consultancy and some new lifestyle products!

The office has been brightened up with some spring/summer additions over Easter...

Anyone who follows me on social media may know my news but I thought I had to share it on my blog. I had a very eventful Easter weekend....

Geneva 2015

The Kahn group have just exhibited for their third time at the Geneva Motor Show, and its safe to say it has been the best year yet...

I wanted to do a blog post to show the Kahn team in Switzerland hard at work at the biggest automotive event of the year!

Geneva begins for us months ahead of the show, so here is a photo diary of my Geneva experience.

The majority of the pictures in this blog have been used on our social media pages, so for updates on all things 'Kahn' take a look and follow these accounts on instagram:

Once we were open for business, we began each morning with a team meeting.

There was a lot of press interest due to the unveiling of our new coach built 6x6, the 'Flying Huntsman'. 

Along with all the press interest, we also had a camera crew following our every move... all will be revealed soon enough!

The evenings were a time for everyone to relax and spend some down time together, we were very fortunate to have some beautiful accommodation situated by the Swiss Alps. 

The cars we exhibited were all 'Volcanic Rock'.  This has been the most desired paint finish for the brand in the past few months.

There are more images of the vehicles we exhibited on the website, the majority can also be found on all our social media outputs.

Graham our photographer took some beautiful images not just of our cars, but other vehicles being exhibited. 

For example this lovely McLaren...

Kahn Owners Rally - Guest Post

This weeks blog post is a guest post from Jessica Jones. Jessica works in our Leeds showroom, in customer relations, marketing and events.

The First Kahn Owners Rally

Last Summer to celebrate the opening of our Leeds showroom, myself and our marketing team decided to go forward with hosting some great local events, the first of which was our Kahn Owners' Rally. This gave our customers a social event to meet and compare the designs of our vehicles, with a personal touch. Our aim was to bring together like-minded enthusiasts in a relaxed environment, with the opportunity to enjoy a country drive.

In the morning the guests gathered at the showroom for tea, coffee and pastries. Many of the guests had not visited the new Leeds showroom so it was nice to catch up with some familiar faces.  After a chat and some refreshments we set off on a beautiful scenic route toward the Yorkshire Dales.

The team were delighted with the weather. This gave us some great opportunities to take some lovely shots of the cars in convoy. 

For lunch the final destination was The Devonshire Fell, a lovely little country house situated in the Yorkshire Dales. The venue is located close to Bolton Abbey in Burnsall Village. The scenery is known for being delightful in this part of the country and the views certainly didn’t disappoint.  

After lunch we stopped for photographs against the stunning backdrop of the Yorkshire Dales.
 We returned to Leeds mid afternoon for light refreshments, and the opportunity to compare vehicles.

This summer we will be looking to host the event on a even bigger scale, with the opportunity for clients to also visit the showroom prior to the start of the Rally. We hope to see you all there, if you would like to get involved email me:

Location Location

With all of the exciting new projects going on at Head Office, sometimes it's nice to get out of the office and appreciate some beautiful surroundings!

This particular location you may recognise if you follow my boss Mr. Kahn on instagram.  This is one of his beautiful properties right here in West Yorkshire.

The location is one of many we are planning to use for some lifestyle photographs we will be taking early 2015.  The lifestyle shoots will be introducing new products such as time pieces, clothing, accessories and more to the Kahn Lifestyle Brand, A. Kahn Design,

This is my favourite shot.  The beautiful autumnal weather is the perfect scene for this luxurious Range Rover RS600.  

Perforated leather interior with signature Kahn Leather Seats.
