A sports car with your superyacht, Sir?

Sunseeker puts the old Mini Moke in the shade

Well-heeled types who venture out in the freezing wind and snow for this week's London Boat Show can take the perks of good living to a whole new level with the Sunseeker Predator 108.


The 32-metre tri-deck luxury megayacht has all the normal additions -- huge master suite, vast entertaining areas, room for all your best mates and ample crew -- but it also has a garage in the stern.


While this is not too unusual on superyachts, Sunseeker has recognised that flash young men don't want to drive around exotic destinations in an aging Moke, no matter how well it has been restored.


So the golden-hulled Sunseeker Predator 108 has a Caterham Seven, one of the world's fastest accelerating sports cars, parked aboard.


The Caterham Seven is the descendent of the famous Lotus 7 which was designed by British sports car genius Colin Chapman in the late 1950s. Updated with bigger, more powerful engines and improved tyres and brakes, it has been winning car races around the world ever since.


The Caterham might not have the eye-appeal of the latest Ferrari but it will beat just about anything off the lights. Unfortunately it has only two seats, so if the owner takes his girlfriend, his other six guests will have to hail a taxi.


The Predator 108 is no slouch itself. It has a top speed of 35 knots.


Sunseeker is building the yacht on a semi-custom basis, so the interior details can suit each owner. The pricing for the yacht starts at about $14 million -- but the Caterham Seven, which normally costs about $35,000, is tossed in for free.
