  MR2 Just £7,400 at Auction 25 Feb 2004 (News)
  This 2000W MR2 was a bit up in the miles at 76,775, and had been through three owners but it sported a hard-hat, and was sold with no faults so someone definitely enjoyed the drive home for £7,400. A 1990 Mercedes 300SL was snapped up sensibly too, for £8,950, which seemed very fair to me despite at least 104k miles due to a declared speedo swap at 42k, leaving just 62k on the face of it.

  Honest John’s Motoring Agony Column 18-4-2015 18 Apr 2015 (News)
  No problem getting the TT as a quattro and the Golf R is 4WD. I'd be looking at a BMW M135i or an M235i coupe if I were you, but these are not X-Drive. BMW has just introduced a 220d with X-Drive.   This is a wind up I would like your thoughts on the Dacia range of cars, specifically the Dacia Sandero 1.2 16v. I am disabled and wheelchair bound. I currently drive a VW Polo automatic with hand controls fitted, but it is now 15 years old and my mechanic who I've used for years tells me it might not pass the MOT test, due to bodywork.

  The 1990s modern classics that are fast disappearing from Britain's roads 22 Dec 2017 (News)
  Keith Moody added: ‘Petrolheads in their 30s and 40s grew up with these 1990s cars. They learnt to drive in them. They went on family holidays in them. They are the next-generation of classic cars – and they’re being bought by enthusiasts who want to be reminded of their connection to times, people, and places who might no longer be with them.’ Twenty-five years ago, the Mk5 Ford Escort was Britain’s best-selling car.

  Opinion: Keep your friends close and your mechanics closer 16 Aug 2016 (News)
  I passed my driving test in 1994, which was an interesting time for the car industry. It was, very much, the dawn of the electronic era, as cars moved away from being simple and easy to maintain towards being ever more electronically controlled and ECU-reliant.
