  Is Drive it Day successful in getting the message across? 28 Apr 2014 (News)
  It was heartening seeing so many people out and about, too. Not just us on our run, nor the many cars that filed into Gaydon, but those who appeared to be just out and about pottering in their MGs, Jaguars, Triumphs, MGs and Fords. So, all's well in the world, and the classic car scene can hold its head high following the estimated 250,000 old vehicles that trundled out on to the Queen's highway yesterday, then.

  Honest John announces partnership with AROnline 11 Jan 2012 (News)
  Going into partnership with HJ offers many opportunities to spread the word.” Honest John said, “Keith’s site more or less ends where ours starts so it a perfect fit. Keeping old British cars going creates a lot of work making and fitting the bits for them. So it could be argued that old cars actually keep more skilled British craftsmen in jobs than mass producing new cars.” You can visit AROnline by clicking here .

  Ex-Rental Fords Remain Excellent Value at Auction 5 Nov 2002 (News)
  Estates are even more. Someone went really wild and paid £9,600 for a ten month old, 5,500 mile 2.0 Zetec. And naturally they wanted well over £10,000 for 3,000 mile 02 reg ex-demo LX TDCi 130. Focuses are far better cars than Escorts ever were. Yet they are now selling at around the same price levels as Escorts used to.

  Commenting, David Ovenden, Head of Škoda Operations, said: "The scrappage scheme was an extremely effective initiative, which gave drivers a strong incentive to replace their old and less efficient vehicles for a brand new one.

  Neo-classics - the next generation on show in Stuttgart 15 Mar 2014 (News)
  We like the German classic car scene. It has categories for all types of historic cars, rather than just the all-encompassing catch all term 'classics' that we use here in the UK. Anything older than 30 years old is an Oldtimer, anything between 10 and 30 years old is a Youngtimer - it's simple, logical and works.

  A Grand Monday: Ford Sierra 2.3 Ghia 1 Apr 2014 (News)
  The comment about it being hard to believe that the car is 30 years old is true enough. I remember when the Sierra hit 25, I drove Ford Heritage's example for a magazine feature. My main memory is that no one looked twice at it - something you would simply not expect with a 25 year old Ford.

  The future classic cars killed by the scrappage scheme 30 Sep 2014 (News)
  Take off the actual values of some of those classics being traded in and it’s almost certain that many owners would have been financially better off selling their old cars privately and negotiating their own new-car discounts. Five years on from its introduction, the scrappage scheme finds itself making headlines once again – with newly released facts and figures to add to its controversy.

  Grand Monday: Peugeot 405 19 Sep 2016 (News)
  Even the vendor admits the 405 GLD won’t get you anywhere in a hurry – but that’s not really the point of this car. This is a genuine ‘everyday’ classic. A retro car that is old enough and rare enough to get a bit of attention, yet at the same time modern and practical enough to not offer too much of a compromise on the daily commute.
