Snapped by one of our spies on the back of a General Motors transporter, the disguised V8-powered load-lugger gives a glimpse of the racy makeover that’s on the way for Holden’s practical Commodore Sportwagon. As the tailgate badge states, this model is in SS trim, so the purposeful styling will be backed up by its driving potential. Large 10-spoke alloys give the estate an aggressive look, even with its garish black and white camouflage.

Mr Khan, from Openshaw, Greater Manchester, was snapped as he drove his Toyota Land Cruiser in a 30mph zone on the A57 in the city. "I was worried when I opened the letter and saw it was from the police," he explained. "I couldn"t think what it would be for."
"It was a surprise to get a ticket, as I knew I hadn"t been speeding. But when I saw what it said, I couldn"t believe it. You would need a jet engine to go at 800mph!" Greater Manchester Police realised its mistake when Mr Khan appealed, and promptly cancelled the ticket - blaming an "inputting error".
A spokeswoman for the force said: "This was an isolated incident. The offence has now been wiped from our records, and we would like to apologise to Mr Khan for any inconvenience this has caused." Mr Khan would have to have been driving a very special car indeed to manage the speed quoted by the police. Not even Bugatti"s í‚á£830,000 Veyron can get anywhere near that - it has a maximum of 252mph.
