  F1 Style KERS For Volvo Road Cars 31 May 2011 (News)
  Our calculations indicate that the combustion engine will be able to be turned off about half the time when driving according to the official New European Driving Cycle," explains Derek Crabb. Since the flywheel is activated by braking and the duration of the energy storage - that is to say the length of time the flywheel spins - is limited, the technology is at its most effective during driving featuring repeated stops and starts. In other words, the fuel savings will be greatest when driving in busy urban traffic as well as during active driving.

  1962 E-Type Roadster ex-Nina Aga Khan Up For Auction Today 22 Nov 2016 (News)
  The cream E-Type Roadster disappeared and it was presumed lost for ever. However, by chance, an Englishman holidaying in Jamaica last year, was told of two old cars in storage on the island. He duly went to see them, finding a red E-Type coupe and the cream roadster. A deal was struck and the roadster was soon on its way back to the UK. It was only after he applied for a Heritage Certificate that he realised the car was no ordinary E-Type and had such a fascinating story to tell.

  'Barn Found' Mercedes 250SL Makes Extraordinary Money at Barons Auction 18 Mar 2011 (News)
  The 1967 250SL was offered for auction in need of total restoration, although its long period of barn storage had been kind to it and it remained very sound throughout. Coming to auction from a deceased’s estate, the car was non-running and the keys had long-since been lost. Despite this, the generally sound condition and long period of single ownership fired the interest of collectors and with spirited bidding from buyers in the room and on the telephones the car was sold for a resounding £12,430.

  How to: Import a classic car 8 Apr 2014 (News)
  If you’re bringing it in from further afield or simply don’t have the time for a classic driving holiday, you could choose a shipping agent to undertake the process for you. They will arrange shipping, and storage at the docks – and in some cases liaise directly with the authorities. A popular and reasonably inexpensive way to get it home is roll-on roll-off shipping – basically your classic will sit on the deck or in the hold of a cargo ship, and gently steam across the world.

  Cheap Cars if Bought Right at Auction Today 16 Nov 2007 (News)
  We have now reached the time of year when some of the fleets treat auction centres as storage compounds, gambling 1 – 2% loan interest over 2 – 3 months on the hope that their stock will be worth 5% - 10% more in January. It always has been for the past 15 years, so whatever dire predictions there may be about property values falling and runs on banks it’s still a fairly safe bet.
