  Report: Peking to Paris, day 29 26 Jun 2013 (News)
  Someone who hit trouble early on was the Ford Model A of Rod Wade in car 19 – he has run a big-end bearing, he has a spare and has taken the decision to get his car on a truck to Davos for repairs. It probably means the engine has to come out. One car that didn’t make it to the hill climb was car 33, the big La Salle Cadillac of Glen Duthie and Allan Cullen, which has suffered over-heating problems since China, and today the engine decided enough is enough.

  HRDC Silverstone 6th April 2013 Gallery 6 Apr 2013 (News)
  Over the years, the race included both sports and saloon cars, although in later years it ran FIA GpN cars running in the National Saloon Car Cup, which was run by the BRSCC.

  A Grand Monday: Renault 5 Campus 19 Mar 2018 (News)
  The car has had some welding in the past, but nothing that sounds too horrendous. Besides, it's £400... Even if it lasts until the MoT runs out it's a bit of fun for someone, and it's also a great choice of characterful starter classic for a younger enthusiast. Plus, it comes with an ageless Northern Irish number plate, which will always have a bit of value to it, too.

  Mk 1 Austin-Healey 3000 project goes for £20,000 30 Mar 2015 (News)
  MoT’d in July of that year with 29,256 miles on the clock, it covered just 210 more before being garaged… for the next 44 years. For most of this period, the engine was started and run at regular intervals.
