TRISTAR Cars has taken delivery of the first of a fleet of Honda Legends - the largest yet order in the UK for the executive car. Tristar plans to run around 30 Legend models to meet the growing aspirations of its 'One Level' executive chauffeur fleet. The company provides luxury road travel for passengers of major airlines and blue chip corporate accounts centred principally around major UK airports and in the London area.

It is the first time the Legend has appeared on the company's fleet with the vehicles understood to be replacing Saabs and some Land Rovers. The Legend, the third to bear the name, was launched in August last year. Since its launch in the UK sales have been running around 500 units a year - an increase of about 50% compared to those achieved by the previous model.
