Lando Norris lifts lid on luxury car collection with ultra-rare £2MILLION Lamborghini and iconic £1million Ferrari
LANDO NORRIS loves to rip around the streets of Monte Carlo, driving one of his prized cars with the sunroof open.
The McLaren driver largely keeps to himself in Monaco — even ordering in food to his apartment to avoid the beady eyes on him.

But the one thing Norris, 25, does not mind showing off is his
The jewel in the crown is his Lamborghini Miura, widely considered the first supercar ever made.
Fewer than 800 were built between 1966 and 1973 and it was Norris' biggest purchase, for around £2million.
He said: 'I bought it because I watched the Lamborghini movie. It's a car I loved and thought it was pretty cool.

'That was the first decent purchase I made for a car. It's one of the best-looking cars ever been made.
I grew up loving cars. I'm lucky I get to drive them and buy them because I have always dreamed of it.'
Norris' Ferrari F40 has a £1m-plus price tag and is the poster car of the 1980s.
But he was seething when someone he has not named borrowed it over New Year — and crashed it in Monaco.

A video of the incident went viral. And asked if the car was back to normal, he replied through gritted teeth: 'No. It was when I was away. I wasn't happy at all.'
The £360k Spider has 'LN' on the driver's seat and a stamp on it reads 'me in a car'.
It is finished in blue and yellow to match Norris' helmet with a British flag inside the door and four yellow stripes to mark his race number.
The Brit also owns a £1.1m Porsche Carrera GT in a dark green shade plus a 1972 Fiat 500 Jolly Evocation.
The latest in his collection seems to be his new £230k Lamborghini Urus, which he was spotted driving at the Place du Casino in Monaco a few months back.

He added: 'McLarens have been the ones that I've spent the most time making and doing special touches on.
'I prefer classics and older cars more than modern ones.'
Norris admits he is putting his party-boy reputation behind him — he is more likely to spend time playing golf and padel with pal
He said: 'Sometimes it's nice to let loose. It's not something I've done this year.
'I'm a guy that wants to enjoy my life but I also know the balance of what's good for me and what's not.
'Nothing takes away from the fact I've always prioritised F1 and being the best driver I can be.
'I'm a very private guy but sometimes people wait outside my apartment.
'That's probably the least amount of respect someone can have — I find that very weird and awkward.'
Norris finished second in Imola last time out and trails team-mate Oscar Piastri by 13 points. But he is currently 11 clear of four-time world champ Verstappen.
Norris said: 'I have a lot of respect for Max. He's looked out for me and we've had some fun nights together.'
And Norris might just let his hair down if he is victorious

Top 10 most reliable older cars from just £2,800… and the risky buys you MUST avoid
DRIVERS looking to buy an affordable but reliable older motor should consider one of these top 10 picks from the Which? annual car survey. The consumer group has revealed a list of cars it recommends with five-star reliability ratings between 10-15 years old, some for less than £3,000. Advertisement From nippy city cars to big family SUVs, there are options for all drivers hunting for a bargain buy that doesn't scrimp on quality. Michael Passingham, senior researcher at Which?, told He said: "Why do these cars perform so well? One reason could be that the hardest part of a car's life – starting and pulling away – are mostly handled by the small electric motor. "These motors have fewer moving parts than combustion engines and, along with sturdy main battery packs, really don't have to work all that hard. Advertisement Read more in Cars "The downside is that our data shows a much higher failure rate of the 12V battery (the small battery all cars have) on full hybrids; this component is worked hard so it pays to buy a quality one and get it replaced every five years or so." In good news for consumers, so called 'full' hybrids' have been removed from the 2030 ban on sales of new petrol and diesel cars planned by the government. Micheal warned against opting for a plug-in hybrid, saying that this type of car has "one of the least reliable engine types according to our data". Here is the full list of the 10 best buys for the most reliable older cars... Advertisement Most read in Motors 10. Toyota Auris (2012-2019) Average used price: £4,650 10 The Toyota Auris is a great option for those wanting a green car that boasts impressive reliability especially for the price Credit: Alamy Faults: 28% Breakdowns: 7% Days off the road: 5.3 The predecessor to the Toyota Corolla, the Auris served as the brands family hatchback offering for almost two decades until it was replaced in 2019. Advertisement The second generation Auris, sold between 2012-2019, boasts impressive reliability with less than three in ten owners reporting faults in the last year, and only seven per cent saying their vehicle broke down. The average price of £4,650 makes this a competitive option when looking for a family, and environment, friendly hatchback. The only caveat is that the Auris took an average of 5.3 days to get back on the road after a breakdown, which is higher than other cars on this list. Princess Andre hits back at money-shaming trolls who claim 'Peter and Katie Price bought her £10k motor as first car' 9. Suzuki Alto (2009-2014) Average used price: £2,800 Advertisement 10 The Suzuki Alto is a small city-friendly car that is simple enough to get repaired cheaply and get back on the road quickly Credit: Alamy Faults: 25% Breakdowns: 1% Days off the road: 2.6 The Suzuki Alto, released in 2009, is still living up to its promise of being a cheap, compact and reliable supermini. It was first offered for £6,000-£7,000 and now can be snapped up for less than three grand, the cheapest buy on this list. Advertisement The simplicity of the Alto makes it a particularly reliable option, with just 1 per cent reporting breakdowns in the last 12 months, and a quarter saying they had to deal with faults. If it does need a repair, the Alto's simplicity means it gets back to you in an average of only 2.6 days. 8. Toyota Yaris (2011-2020) Average used price: £3,100 10 The Toyota Yaris has a great track record of reliability, making it one of the most popular hatchbacks of the last 25 years Credit: Handout Advertisement Faults: 23% Breakdowns: 6% Days off the road: 3.1 The go-to small, dependable car for many in the last 25 years, the Yaris, is still making recommendation lists for its affordability and reliability. With less than a quarter reporting faults and only 6 per cent dealing with a breakdown in the last 12 months, the Yaris still holds up remarkably well after all this time. This is the 2011-2020 model with a hybrid drivetrain, an addition which makes it economical to drive as well as to buy, averaging just over £3,000. Advertisement 7. Suzuki Swift (2010-2016) Average used price: £3,500 10 Suzuki Swift is considered by some an overlooked gem of the supermini class Credit: Getty Faults: 27% Breakdowns: 8% Days off the road: 1.4 Suzuki appears again on this list with the 2010-2016 Swift supermini, a compact, simple vehicle at a compelling price. Advertisement Received positively upon release, the Swift was praised for being fun to drive with a competitive blend of efficiency and performance. Now on sale for only around three and a half grand, this might be a great option for those looking for a small but fiery little motor. Although it scores a little worse on breakdowns, with 8 per cent being the highest on this list, it does only spend a brief 1.4 days in the shop when things do go wrong. Couple this with a good score of 27 per cent reporting faults, and this characterful car is still a good buy in 2025. Advertisement 6. BMW X1 (2009-2015) Average used price: £5,200 10 The BMW X1 is surprisingly reliable for a big luxury SUV Credit: handout Faults: 35% Breakdowns: 7% Days off the road: 2.1 In a shock entry to this list, the BMW X1 is an outlier for luxury SUVs, which are often unreliable and costly to repair. Advertisement On the contrary, the X1 competes with other, much smaller, simpler cars with a respectable record of just 7 per cent reporting breakdowns last year and only 2.1 days taken to fix on average. Consumers may be able to take advantage of typically low SUV resale prices, generally due to reliability and repair cost concerns, to pick up this hidden gem for a very reasonable price of around £5,000. That said, the X1 does rank low on this list in terms of faults, with over a third experiencing issues in the last 12 months. 5. Skoda CitiGo (2009-2019) Average used price: £4,500 Advertisement 10 The Skoda Citigo is mechanically identical to the popular VW Up! making it a great choice for a small car on a budget that also boasts good reliability Credit: Getty Faults: 22% Breakdowns: 5% Days off the road: 2.8 Mechanically identical to the VW Up!, the Skoda CitiGo was meant for squeezing into tight parking spaces and down narrow streets while keeping your fuel costs and insurance premiums to a minimum. After being discontinued five years ago, the CitiGo now makes for a tempting prospect on the second-hand market. Advertisement It was initially praised for being surprisingly roomy for being so small, and for being the cheaper alternative to the Up! while essentially being the same car. It boasts impressive reliability, with only 22 per cent reporting faults and 5 per cent experiencing a break down. The CitiGo is fairly quick to repair as well, only spending 2.8 days at the garage before being ready for more. 4. Honda Jazz (2008-2015) Average used price: £3,800 Advertisement 10 The Honda Jazz is popular among older drivers, but this doesn't mean it's not a great option for a convenient and reliable motor Credit: handout Faults: 25% Breakdowns: 4% Days off the road: 2.7 Almost exclusively driven by those of a certain age, the Honda Jazz is popular amongst the older demographic for a reason: its convenient, reliable and easy to drive. These attributes might get Grandma excited, but they should also make the Jazz an attractive option for anyone looking for a solid vehicle at a bargain price. Advertisement One in four owners reported a fault with their cars and the average time in the garage was 2.7 days being fixed by mechanics. Your Jazz shouldn't be seeing the inside of a garage too often though, with only 4 per cent breaking down in the last year. 3. Lexus RX 450h (2009-2015) Average used price: £6,400 10 The Lexus RX 450h is a very reliable option for a big family motor, breakdowns are very rare according to Which? Credit: Handout Advertisement Faults: 16% Breakdowns: 0% Days off the road: 2 This chunky SUV was voted the most satisfying car to own in 2024 in a Which? survey. A glance at the cars record quickly confirms that one of the factors that make it so popular must be its excellent reliability. Looking at the hybrid-powered models here, only 16 per cent reported a fault in the last year and none had their RX break down on them. Advertisement For the times that the RX was sent into the garage, it only spent 2 days on average being worked on. The price is a little higher than some others on this list, but buyers are getting both space, comfort and relatively good fuel efficiency. 2. Mazda MX-5 (2005-2015) Average used price: £3,800 10 The Mazda MX5 Roadster Coupe is a British icon, and could be yours for less than £4,000 if you opt for an older model Credit: Getty Advertisement Faults: 26% Breakdowns: 0% Days off the road: 1.7 The iconic MX-5 speeds into the number two spot for good reason, bucking the trend of unreliable sports car to still deliver thrilling driving with solid build quality at a good price. Hailing originally from the late 1980's, this example of the world's best selling roadster is the third generation MX-5, it debuted in 2005 and still holds up today. The record from Which?'s data is flawless when it comes to breakdowns, and shows that this classic is quick to fix only spending 1.7 days in the shop. Advertisement Just over a quarter reported faults, but that's not a huge figure when it comes to second-hand sports cars . 1. Lexus CT 200h (2011-2020) Average used price: £7,300 10 The Lexus CT 200h is the number one car according to the Which? car survey for reliability Credit: PR handout Faults: 13% Breakdowns: 0% Days off the road: 1.2 Advertisement Topping the list as the most reliable 10 to 15 year-old car comes the Lexus CT 200h, a full hybrid hatchback which served as the brands answer to the Ford Focus and VW Golf until 2020. CT 200h owners surveyed by Which? delivered glowing reviews, reporting zero breakdowns and only 13 per cent experiencing a fault with their car. Drivers praised the vehicles comfort and, of course, reliability, only pointing to a small boot and clunky infotainment system as critiques, as reported by thisismoney. The car sells for around £7,000, the priciest offering so far, but its near spotless record should mean your investment pays off with a dependable motor that is good for years to come. Advertisement The ones to steer clear of Which? puts the diesel powered Vauxhall Zafira (2005-2014) and Nissan Qashqai (2007-20013) as two of the least reliable vehicles that consumers should steer well clear of if dependability is their aim. The Zafira has become known for catching fires in recent years due to issues with its heater blower motor and regulator. This usually happens when owners replace parts with cheaper, aftermarket components. It is hardly a wonder that drivers are turning to cut-price alternatives when the Zafira breaks down on three in ten owners, with more than half reporting faults in the last year. The car also takes a whopping 14 days on average for repairs to be made. Advertisement The first generation Nissan Qashqai also from suffers reliability issues, and needs almost a week in the garage on average before it is road-ready after a malfunction. Both these cars use diesel fuel, and Which? has found that this is by far the worst fuel type for reliability, with an average fault rate of 48 per cent, compared to 39 per cent for petrol and 23 per cent for hybrids. Least reliable older cars aged 10-15 years Vauxhall Zafira DIESEL (2005 - 2014) Nissan Qashqai DIESEL (2007 - 2013) Mercedes-Benz C-Class (2007 - 2014) Skoda Octavia Estate (2005 - 2013) Audi A4 (2008 - 2015)
