FRESH from setting a world record for circumnavigating the globe single-handedly in a boat, Dame Ellen MacArthur has turned her attention to car design.

To commemorate her achievement of sailing around the world in just 71 days, MacArthur and Renault teamed up to design a special edition of the Espace people carrier.

Called the Espace Globe Ellen MacArthur, the model features £3,300-worth of extra equipment for a £545 premium on the Expression model on which it is based.

It features extras such as a panoramic glass roof, satellite navigation and an upgraded hi-fi. Prices start at £21,995 for the 2.0-litre petrol. Two diesels versions are also available.
