  A Grand Monday: Honda S-MX 21 Aug 2017 (News)
  Also, this is the Lowdown model, which had a factory-fit lowered suspension and bodykit. It passed its MoT test in June with no advisories, but was declared SORN at the end of July. The wheels have been powder coated bright orange, which is far hardier than the factory diamond cut. They are standard Lowdown wheels, fitted with Nokian all-weather tyres with plenty of tread.

  A Grand Monday: Montego Mayfair 28 Apr 2014 (News)
  Given that these got frilly around the edges from three years of age, this is a major achievement. Another plus point is that, ' the interior is remarkable and outstanding, with no sagging headlining. The windscreen has a crack in bottom corner but has been like this for a long long time.' So if you're after a Montego, and want to enjoy the full 1980s experience, the £1250 that's being asked by Andy Brown Classic Cars seems reasonable enough to us.

  Why are Aston Martins so hard to sell? 17 Dec 2019 (News)
  Interestingly, all of the Aston Martin’s offered were 1999 models or newer, which are popular with the current classic car enthusiast buyer. These cars offer fantastic performance and styling, and with a change of number plate can be passed off a relatively new and highly desirable modern day Aston Martin. Not surprisingly, these newer models sell, but not at values they would have once achieved. The modern era of Aston Martins is also now competing in the same field as higher value cars from Maserati, Jaguar and Bentley, which are all fighting for the same buyer.

  Cayenne Turbo at Top Car Today 26 Jul 2004 (News)
  The UK supplied 53 reg in the photo had done 12,000 miles, so was far from new. But the spec included everything the Turbo gets, plus an extra £13k’s worth. The wheels alone were £1,000 each. The CY53NN3 reg was £1,500. And the original invoice came to an eye watering eighty-three grand. But, though undoubtedly the star of the show, it was not entered until this morning, far too late to benefit from any BCA pre-publicity even on Auctionview.
