The car
About this car in Nice
Port Vauban at Antibes is the largest marina in the Mediterranean, and the traffic it generates on land is groups of six or eight moving between a quay, a villa in the hills and the airport, usually with more luggage than the passenger count suggests.
The Defender 130 is the highest-capacity vehicle in this fleet that is not a van: eight seats, 389 litres behind the third row and 2,291 with everything folded, so the group and its bags stay in one vehicle.
The D250 mild-hybrid diesel carries the load without strain, and Santorini Black over X-Dynamic SE keeps a very long vehicle looking intentional. We agree the handover point and the timing with you in advance.
