  Gallery: St James Concours, London, 5-7 September 25 Sep 2013 (News)
  The concours circuit is a busy one - but it looks like Pebble Beach, Amelia Island and Villa d'Este have been joined by London. For the second Concours of Elegance, 61 of the world’s rarest motor cars – many of them never seen before in this country – graced the gardens of 300-year old Royal palace Marlborough House, and drove through London. Lead by Royal patron HRH Prince Michael of Kent driving the 1933 Napier-Railton 24 litre Special, and with the oldest dating from 1907, nearly all of the cars in the Concours were driven - in a spectacular convoy from Buckingham Palace down The Mall - by their owners into the gardens on the opening morning.

  Interesting Entries For Monday’s Classic Auction 20 Feb 2005 (News)
  BCA’s Classic Sale on Monday doesn’t have a lot of really old cars. But it’s an excellent event to buy a late ‘nostalgia’ classic. The star of the show is this 1973 MGB GT ‘Sebring’, a recreation of a development car for the good looking MGB GTS that finished 10th in the 1968 Sebring race driven by Paddy Hopkirk and Andrew Hedges.

  Sir Ray Tindle to notch up 50 London to Brighton runs 28 Aug 2013 (News)
  Sir Ray said: 'I can recall the exact spot on Streatham Common where my parents took me to watch these wonderful old machines pass. Of course, then the oldest car taking part was probably only about 30 years old but still totally different from their modern counterparts. I remember thinking how wonderful it would be to ride on one of those cars.'

  Scrappage Scheme Sells 35,000 New Cars 29 May 2009 (News)
  Carmakers had lobbied ministers to put in twice that amount, as happened with a similar scheme in Germany, where the government stumped up 2,500 if a car more than ten years old was scrapped and a car less than one year old was purchased.

  More Power For Passat 10 May 2002 (News)
  The price for the S spec with standard air-conditioning goes up by £155 to a still very reasonable £14,850, but because CO2 emissions are down company car drivers will actually pay less BIK tax than for the old car. The Passat S Estate with the 2.0 130bhp engine is priced at £15,800. Cynics will see this as a move to differentiate the Passat from the longer, cheaper Passat Plus based Skoda Superb which has to struggle along with the old 2.0 litre 115bhp 8 valver unless buyers pay extra for the 150bhp 1.8T.

  Year Old Polo Makes 80% of List at Auction 13 Jun 2001 (News)
  Even at £3,000 it's not a bargain if it needs a lot of money spending on it. This is something to remember when chasing cars for record lows. If you've got to spend on it, the car's not cheap any more and you will probably be better off paying £1,000 more for a cleaner, better serviced, lower mileage example in the first place.

  Top 10: Classic superminis 18 Jul 2014 (News)
  The creation of the supermini was perhaps inevitable. By the start of the 1970s, British Leyland’s evergreen Mini was already more than a decade old, and the gap between it and the family cars of the time was growing ever larger. Car manufacturers began to realise there was room in the market for machines that were bigger and more refined than the Mini but smaller than a typical family saloon.
