  Not only is it a 406 estate - a car that, in its day, was one of the most useful load-luggers on the market - but it’s also the 3.0-litre V6 model with 210bhp on tap.  Coupled to an automatic gearbox, it’s a beautifully smooth combination, and looks really quite upmarket in dark metallic grey. And as for that interior? Well, just look at it… With stacks of service history and an MoT good for almost a whole year, we can’t help but think this looks like pretty good value for £995.

  Honda previews adventure-style scooter in new video 26 Jul 2016 (News)
  Underneath the curious dirtbike-cum-scooter bodywork are the underpinnings of the popular NC750 motorcycle and the Integra scooter - specifically a torquey, 54PS parallel twin engine with a DCT automatic transmission. Quite how much it will cost when it goes on sale in 2017 remains to be seen, but we imagine you’ll have to pay a premium over the £8,150 price of an Integra. It might not be a typical cheap urban runabout, but it’s nonetheless one of the most interesting scooters of recent years.
