An eight-year-old girl learnt aboutlocalheritage while tak­ ing part in a fun treasure hunt. A total of 130 children en­


tered Clitheroe Castle Muse­ um’s January treasure hunt with Ingrid finding all 26 “dis­ co ducks” to claim victory. Rachel Jackson, Lanca­


shire County Council’s mu­ seum manager at Clitheroe,


said: “Families with children love searching for the ‘hidden’ toys within the museum and it’s a great way to introduce the children to local heritage.” Tickets for the museum


cost £4 for adults and £3 for concessions while accompa­ nied children gain admission free of charge. For more information,


email clitheroecastle@lanca- shire.gov.uk or phone 01200 424568. Alternately, go to www.lan-


cashire.gov.uk and search un­ der museums. Clitheroe Castle Museum


is managed by Lancashire County Council’s museum service on behalf of Ribble Val­ ley Borough Council.

slides, from the 1960s to present day, of the flowers he has grown and worked with over the years. One of the tips was that every couple ofyears


or so, cut around a plant,- but leave some roots in the soil, then re-plant into clean, fresh compost as they plants do not like to be returned to their original place. A vote of thanks was giv­

I The Maybach name is back, andthistimeitmeans business. . ’


| The old standalone Maybach was flawed from the very be- jginning, built as it was on a platform old enough to have been shared with the Ark. But what you see here isn’t a Maybach: it’s a Mercedes- Maybach. It’s the new flagship Mer­


cedes S-Class, built under a double-barrelled name that could, i f consumer demand is there, mirror the Mercedes- AMG badge,with multiple models atop various ranges. AMG cars are built for high- end luxury and.giggles, but the Mercedes-Maybach is all about comfort and exception­ al indulgence. It’s a long old thing, add­


ing another 20cm between the wheels compared to the long-wheelbase S-Class. So no,


m


’ it’s not short of legroom. The ’ roof line is higher and stays that way for longer, the rear doors are, a different length, and there are small ‘double- • M’badges on the C-pillars. The Force is strong with


the finest S-Class, and always has been.'Apparently custom-'


' ers wanted more exclusivity and even more of the s tu f f ; that makes the S-Class such a stalwart at the top of its class, so Mercedes has com­ bined the famous badge with another one to form the new standard-bearer. Where the old Maybach had image prob­ lems, its spiritual successor has big-time pedigree - albeit in a less showy way. Nit-pickers will note that


part of the boot is taken up by the fridge unit, but being able to keep your champagne chilled is clearly far more im­ portant. To drink it there are' two silver-plated champagne flutes in a fold-down tray be­ tween the two rear seats - but only if you specify the £7,200 First Class rear seat setup.


There’s enough legroom to _


allowyour St Bernards to curl up at your feet, and they’ll be comforted by the standard luxury lamb's wool floor mats that replicate an expensive liv­ ing room feel. You're actually m eant to take your shoes off to appreciate it (and it’s totally worthit).


To be frank, few owners


will actually drive it them­ selves, but i f they did they’d be astonished at how relent­ lessly fast it is thanks to a 530-horsepower V12 engine. Refinement and comfort in any seat is amazing, with the softest leathers and seats that, in the rear, can giveyou six dif­


ferent types of back or shoul­ der massage. Six! And don’t forget seven colours of ambi-


• ent lighting, of course. Heating, cooling and up to


43.5 degrees ofbackrest tilt are also rather nice, but it’s the leg rest that steals the show. Hold a button down and the frontpas- senger seat moves forwards,


S


the leg rest rises and you find yourselfascomfy as ifyou were in your own reclining arm­ chair at home. Probably com- fier. All the toys you’d expect on the King Among S-Classes are standard. Go forth and meddle. When you look at what


you get, £167,000 is a steal. Bear with me on this. The big double-M is built as well as a Bentley but has more technol­ ogy andisargiiablyevenbetter to drive. The only thingit lacks is the statement-making looks of a Rolls-Royce, but not e^very- one wants those. ' .


' - Media moguls, Mafia


kingpins, ultra-exclusive chauffeurs and more will all want to get their hands on a Mercedes-Maybach, although only 100 or so will sell in the UK every year. Any S-Class is a brilliant luxury car, but the new maestro is a bit special. Below-the-radar on the out­ side but above all but the lofti­ est of expectations, this is the sober thinker’s Rolls-Royce Ghost.
