  Honda Civic Type-S: 5-doors and 160ps 11 Oct 2002 (News)
  Added versatility is provided by the new centre console that makes the most of the dashboard mounted gearlever to offer a very large lidded storage compartment. As with all Civics, both ride and handling benefit from gas-filled dampers fitted front and rear, with the Type-S gaining a thicker rear anti-roll bar to reduce roll even further as befits the Type brand. Additionally, the ride benefits from “taller” profile (195/65R15) tyres compared with other Civics, while the combination of these tyres and a high final drive raises the car’s gearing to a relatively long-legged 21.8 mph 1,000 rpm in fifth gear.

  TVR returns in style with an all new Griffith 8 Sep 2017 (News)
  It also gets a bespoke lighter flywheel and clutch. Designed by Gordon Murray, him of McLaren F1 fame, the 2018 Griffith has a front-engined layout, a full ground-effect aerodynamic package and 50:50 weight distribution. It's also incredibly light, tipping the scales at just 1250kg thanks to carbon composite body panels. It's no slouch either, with a 0-60mph time of less than four seconds and a top speed of 200mph.

  Model T to drive around the globe 21 Mar 2016 (News)
  The single exception is larger tyres for the wooden-spoked wheels, making the ride softer for long journeys. The journey has not been without its challenges. Dirk had to weld a broken front wheel at the local blacksmith in Africa. He said, ‘I’m pretty handy, and a screwdriver, hammer, some duct tape, tie wraps, and tensioning straps go a long way.’

  Frankfurt Motor Show 2015: Rolls-Royce sees a new Dawn on the horizon 15 Sep 2015 (News)

  Four Classic Porsches in Historics March 3rd Ascot Auction 12 Jan 2018 (News)
  Sharing the Porsche limelight is this extremly exciting 1985 911 930 3.3 turbo based Rennsport RSR replica. The car was originally a dry-use only Gulf State LHD, converted into a 1973 Carrera 2.8 RSR specification, with a fully galvanized body-shell. Completed in 2017 after a full body restoration by Rennsport, C58 XLY is finished in stunning classic Ivory, with Mexico blue decals and Fuchs 15 inch alloy wheels (9 inch wide front and 10 inch wide rear). After being showcased by Rennsport to demonstrate their bespoke build and restoration talents, this example and its sister car, a 1979 930 Turbo Rennsport RSR, were offered for sale in late 2017; both cars were snapped up immediately but due to the purchaser’s circumstances changing, Historics has been given the opportunity to bring C58 XLY back to the market. The quality of the build and finish is as staggering as the ferocious performance producing an estimated 380HP and sounding every bit as good as it looks - all this in a car that weighs just circa 1,250 kg compared to a modern day Porsche 911 at 1,745 kg.
