  Saved From Scrappage Minor For Sale For Children in Need 20 Nov 2009 (News)
  When a classic Morris Minor Traveller was traded in under the scrappage scheme at Chelmsford Hyundai, the owner of the dealership – Bill Cook - could not bear to see the car sent to the crusher. So he paid out of his own pocket to cover the £2,100 scrappage allowance and save the ‘woody’ Minor. Rather than just sell the car on, he has decided to put it up for auction on

  A Grand Monday: Honda Legend 2 Apr 2018 (News)
  By the time the third generation Legend appeared, though, Honda’s relationship with Rover Group had come to an abrupt end, and despite outwardly similar appearances, the 1995-on Legend was a completely different car to its predecessor. It was an oddball choice and a slow seller in the UK, despite having a wonderful V6 powerplant that was loosely related to that in the NSX supercar. Staggering depreciation and a lack of public awareness of the car, along with just the one engine choice, meant it was always something of a fringe option in the executive car market, but those who bought a Legend came away with a car that was handsome, quick and extremely refined, along with a surprisingly agile chassis.
