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!

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:

HQ

  Today I wanted to take the time to show everyone the beautiful cars that we get to work with! All the press attention of late has been on the new fabulous showroom on Kings Road in Chelsea, but I wanted to give everyone in an insight into some of my favourite cars that are in our showroom at the HQ in Bradford.

  Starting with my favourite car a Mercedes Benz SLR Mclaren, just to make my life easy there was not just one but TWO to choose from!   The kind of excitement that comes with these cars I normally get with shoes and handbags, but WOW! I'd give my right arm for on of these babies!

 I love the smart subtle interior on the SLR's and if I had to pick a favourite it would have to be the black, I live in black! These 2 cars are 2 of a collection of only 9 similar ones that are registered here in the UK.

The next car that caught my eye in the show room is this classic Ferrari Maranello.  How could this not catch your eye!  The detail on this car is amazing and I love the cream interior, take a look...

One of my favourite cars is an Audi Q7, so I loved the look of this Audi Q5 done in Kahn Design custom black interior and a gorgeous Pearl paint finish in white.

I have spent time today looking at these beautiful cars and the intricacy that goes into these hand finished interiors.  The guys in the trim shop are so talented and when I saw this video on Kahn TV I had to put it on my blog!

To finish up I had to put in these pics!...

 We have been getting clothing and accessory samples in for a few weeks now.  This is for a new exciting project that I cant wait to be able to share! But in the mean time here's a sneaky peek in to mine and Suzannes day trying on sunglasses!  Sultan one of the interns clearly loves them too #BritainsNextTopModel

  Yes we do love our job ! 

Have a great Bank Holiday weekend! I will be!
