    They weigh something ridiculous, I think its approx 3500kg!

    With the really thick glass, it is literally like driving around in a fishbowl. It distorts everything!

    Withams usually have a selection of armoured cars inc Mondeos and Range Rovers, they are fussy about who they sell them to though!

    Withams have the contract for the disposal of all MOD vehicles from motorbikes to tanks.

    There's been a 750il Security on eBay for a while. Ridiculous price though, GBP£30k.

    BMW did an E39 540i Protection which I think only weighed 100 ish kilos more than a standard car. From memory it was 'only' armoured to B4, though.
