  Used Van Buying Guide: Astravan 2006-2013 20 Jan 2016 (News)
  Check the alternator is working properly, a replacement can cost as much as £300. Check the operation of the windscreen wipers as the linkage is a known weak point thanks to excessive wear. If they judder or knock the linkages will need replacing.    The Astravan sells on its good looks and its desirable, car-like driving character over any pretence of huge load carrying capacity.

  1937 La Salle Made £17,100 at Auction Yesterday 22 Feb 2005 (News)
  But to my mind bargain of the day among the mass market metal was a 66k mile 2001Y Mondeo 2.5V6 Ghia X which sold for £5,250. An awful lot of car for the money. Big sales tomorrow and Friday. And Top Car again on Monday 28th. As always the best way to look for a specific car coming up at auction or to pre-check a day’s sale is to visit

  Veterans turn back the clock for London to Brighton run 2 Nov 2017 (News)
  A bumper entry of more than 450 horseless carriages will leave Hyde Park as dawn breaks on Sunday to tackle the 60-mile drive from capital to coast. The London to Brighton Veteran Car Run, which dates back to 1927, was founded to commemorate the Emancipation Run of 1896. This celebrated the repeal of the Red Flag Act, which raised the speed limit to 14mph and ended the requirement for a man waving a red flag to walk in front of the vehicle.

  Friday concept: Audi Quattro Spyder 7 Jun 2013 (News)
  When it was introduced - as a concept - to the public at the 1991 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Quattro Spyder received rave reviews from the press, with many journalists assuming that this was a preview for an upcoming production car. Buyers were smitten, too, with many attempting to place deposits at their local dealers. We had a close look at the Quattro Spyder at Essen in 2011, on the car's 20th birthday, and came away with the lingering impression that it really did have the appeal to win sales in the mid-1990s sports car sector.

  61-plate: The background info 22 Aug 2011 (News)
  In 1973 number plate design was standardised – plates had to be reflective, with a standardised black font on yellow at the rear and white at the front. The suffix form of number plate ran until 1983, when it was simply rotated to a prefix form: ‘A123 ABC.’ New registration years came every August, so from August 1983 until August 1984 cars were ‘A reg,’ followed by ‘B reg’ from August 1984 until August 1985.

  Lively Auction For Late December Today 18 Dec 2002 (News)
  Spectacularly low provisional bids of the day included £7,300 for 12k mile 02 new-shape Primera 1.8S; £6,000 for the almost unsaleable 7,500 mile 2002/51 reg Lupo 1.4 TDI Sport in Fantasie Green (right car; wrong colour); and £5,300 for a 5k mile 2001Y Rover 25 1.8L Steptronic. But £10,250 provisional wasn’t as low as it seems for a 900 mile 02 Peugeot 206 2.0 litre Coupe Cabrio because it needed a lot of new panels at the front.

  New Year Auction Fever Mounts 4 Jan 2002 (News)
  Wednesday may have been quiet at BCA Blackbushe, but today certainly wasn't. And a good piece of news for auctiongoers is that BCA has opened up extra car parking previously used for stock, so no more hassles on that front. The sales started fairly slowly with a mixture of repossessions, part-exchanges and previously unsold fleet cars. A 27,000 mile 98S Daewoo Lanos 1.6SX 5-door automatic, unsold on Wednesday, went for £3,500 and a much tattier 37,000 mile 98R 1.6SX 3-door auto for £2,475.

  Comment: Could the new MG be China's Datsun 240Z? 21 Apr 2017 (News)
  The first was that the concept car is fully electric. The second is that, if you nailed a Jaguar badge to the front, it would easily pass for a new F-TYPE. Cast aside any preconceptions or prejudices you may have and cast your eyes awhile on the pictures.
