  2nd Classic Auction Same Day: H&H Buxton 12th November 2014 10 Nov 2014 (News)
  With 4 years in production v/s 1 year for the Model B V8, Model A Fords are ten to a dollar in the USA. But this 1930 roadster looks nicely original and could make its £14,000 - £16,000 estimate. There’s also a 1930 Model A Fordor sedan, estimated at £10,000 - £12,000 and a 1930 Model A Tudor (main photo), estimated at £9,000 - £11,000.

  The future classic cars killed by the scrappage scheme 30 Sep 2014 (News)
  What we can now reveal, however, are some of the figures relating to the classic cars also involved in the scheme. No fewer than 45 examples of the Jaguar XJ-S, for example, were traded in and scrapped, as were 14 Porsche 944s, 18 BMW 6-Series, 88 Citroen 2CVs, 29 Peugeot 205 GTis and 22 Reliant Scimitars of various types. And if you’re wondering why there aren’t as many large saloons of the ’80s and ’90s on the roads as there used to be, it’s partly because the scrappage scheme saw the loss of 273 Saab 9000s, more than 700 Volvo 740s, 100-plus Ford Granadas and – amazingly – over a thousand Rover 600s.

  Curios: Triumph Lynx 9 May 2014 (News)
  .  In engineering terms, the Lynx was straightforward - combining much thinking from the SD1 and the TR7, and also offering an intriguing insight to what lay beneath the planned Dolomite-replacing Triumph SD2. It was based on the TR7's platform, but had its wheelbase extended by a full 12-inches, while longer passenger doors were incorporated in order to balance the side view of the car and give good access to the rear seats. Development of the Lynx was stepped up, following commencement of TR7 production in September 1974 and the Lynx was beginning to look like an appealing addition to the range, to fight cars such as the Ford Capri.

  Goodwood Festival of Speed: Jaguar Project 7 takes a bow 10 Jul 2013 (News)
  Powering it is a tweaked version of Jaguar’s vocal 5.0-litre supercharged V8 engine in 550PS/680Nm form. That should give the Project 7 a useful boost over the V8 S it's based upon. One thing we do know is that it's going to sound good – Project 7 features a free-flow exhaust system with a ceramic finish. We'll have to wait and see how well it drives, but JLR's feted chassis guru Mike Cross is confident: 'It’s visceral in every sense – its response, its sound and its sheer performance.

  Renault has gone straight to the heart of the target market for its new Captur crossover with 'Captur Life', the biggest ever car event in Westfield Shopping Mall .

  Hyundai takes 5,400 Orders Under Scrappage 22 May 2009 (News)
  It’s no surprise that customers have been flocking to showrooms wanting a new Hyundai under the government-sponsored scheme, but some of the cars they are trading in have come as a bit of a shock. One dealer was amazed to see a Jaguar XJ-S being sent to the scrapper in exchange for a new i10, while another crushed an XJ6 to make way for an i20. BMWs, Audis and Mercedes cars and vans were relatively common sights on their way to the automotive knacker’s yard (34, 22 and 32 respectively) as were Mazda MX-5s (six in total), MGFs (seven) and several Saabs.
