   quote) and it soldiered on for another three years, by which time it wasn't just woefully, but this time painfully out of date. By the time it was put out to pasture, the 100's key rivals included the second generation Renault Clio, the fourth generation Fiesta and the brand new Peugeot 206. No matter how you tried to look at the 100, it was a product of a different era... As a result, it was never greatly loved.

  Happy Birthday: Hyundai Pony 22 Dec 2015 (News)
  Hyundai’s range grew to include the Stellar , a Ford Granada-sized saloon, and the S-Coupe , a two-door tourer based on the Pony chassis.  Then came a raft of smaller cars, SUVs and people carriers, as the company grew to become what it is today. With sister firm, Kia (which wowed the world in 1989 with the whitewall-tyred Pride, a Mazda 121 copy), it’s the world’s fourth-biggest producer - and exporter - of new cars.  Korea, then, has become one of the globe’s most significant car producing nations – and as we blow out the candles at the end of its fourth decade, who would have thought that it all started, in a roundabout way, with the humble Morris Marina .

  Stratstone to Sell Classic Jaguars 8 Mar 2013 (News)
  Peter Neumark added: "Being one of the last fifty E-Types ever built makes this car not only an important piece of Jaguar’s history but will also probably prove to be a very wise investment. We hope that it helps to increase foot fall at Stratstone's Mayfair showroom and subsequently sales of new models. It also demonstrates their belief in the importance of Jaguar's history to the brand.

  Ten Ferraris in Historics Brooklands Auction on 18th May 12 May 2011 (News)
  Historics example is one of 955 manufactured, with the 1961 car in Blue Sera coachwork likely to attract interest around the £90,000 - £100,000 mark. The 250’s successor was the Ferrari 330, and although the first 330 America model was effectively a 250GT/E with a larger engine, the 330 GT 2+2 was a unique car in its own right.  With a sharper looking nose and tail, quad headlights and a wider grille, the extra 50mm in the wheelbase over the 250 model privided uprated handling.
