  Curios: Triumph Lynx 9 May 2014 (News)
  It was conceived long before the TR7 was launched - and was devised as an up-scale derivative of that car, offering four-seats, and a lift-up hatchback. Because it was obvious that the torquey Rover V8 engine would suit the TR7 range perfectly, it was this engine that would power the Lynx, although eight- and 16-valve versions of the slant-four Dolomite engine were also earmarked for the new sports cars.

  Honest John's Motoring Agony Column 4 Apr 2015 (News)
    Van mail Just a quick note to say thank you very much for your advice. A van hit my car while stationary. An independent witness saw the incident and gave me the van's licence plate. The van's telematics show that it was on the street on which my car was parked at the time of the incident.

  I found the car to be in basically good condition. The underside appeared sound with no bodge welding I could see and the engine ran very sweetly. The crossmember and door bottoms struck me as being excellent. One front wing showed some corrosion but these are bolt on.

Everyone also gets in on the driving experience due to the large centrally mounted instrument binnacle. This wasn't just installed so that back seat drivers can keep a watch on the car's speed.

  A Grand Monday: Fiat Punto Cabriolet 27 Feb 2017 (News)
  The 16-valve multi-point injection was, at the time of launch, the most powerful 1.2-litre engine ever made and gave even the cabrio, which weighed more than the Punto hatch, a 0-60 time of 12.5 seconds and a top speed of 106mph. In reality, the brio with which the car delivered that power made it feel even more lively. The exterior may be a bit dumpy, but from behind the wheel the Punto has a hint of sports car about it. But then, most Italian superminis do. It’s a Latin thing… This Fiat Punto cabrio for sale appears to be a very well cared for example of the range-topping Punto ELX Cabriolet, with nearly 12 months’ MoT and a shade over 65,000 miles on the clock.

  Frankfurt Motor Show 2015: MINI shows off new Clubman 15 Sep 2015 (News)
  . However its additional length over the hatchback doesn’t go to waste – the Clubman has some very spacious rear seats. Fitting a couple of adults in is very easy indeed, even with taller occupants up front and a sunroof installed. Access is good too, thanks to full-sized, wide-opening rear doors. Typically MINI models have more or less the same dashboard layout from car to car, but the Clubman is different.

  Report: H&H classic car auction, Duxford, 16 October 23 Oct 2013 (News)
  Last word should go to the Mercedes-Benz-based Excalbur (below), which amazingly found a buyer for £30,510.

The 24-inch front and 30-inch rear custom spinner wheels are supported by custom hydraulic suspension, while eight-piston Brembo brake callipers bring the car to a stop.

  Bargains and Premiums at Auction Today 17 Oct 2003 (News)

On Monday 20th there will be a big BMW Group auction at Blackbushe, starting 13.00, with the main attraction a 51 reg X5 3.0d Sport auto with leather.

  A Grand Monday: Sinclair C5 16 Jul 2018 (News)
  You simply lower yourself into the cockpit, get to grips with the contortionist-friendly hands-under-your-bum ‘driving’ position and off you go… This example isn’t immaculate – the vendor is quite upfront about that – but it’s also only £350 and comes with a complete spare bodyshell, should the crack in the front bodywork bother you. If you’ve never piloted a C5 before, though, we’d recommend you stick with the scruffy body for now until you get to grips with it. Quirky, classic inexpensive fun.
