  A Grand Monday: Audi 80 Cabriolet 12 Nov 2018 (News)
  Princess Diana was never one to toe the line, and her taste in cars was certainly controversial. She first bucked Royal trends in 1991 by leasing a Mercedes-Benz 500SL instead of having a British-built car in the family tradition. Fair enough, she may not have been the first member of the Royal Family to fancy a German, but her decision to choose a non-domestic car was frowned upon by royalists.

  January new car sales see biggest increase since 2005 13 Feb 2017 (News)
  Cars such as the Kia Niro, Hyundai Ioniq and the latest Toyota Prius will all now be coming through to dealers, as are hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Attractive PCP deals will also have helped. Meanwhile, petrol car registration increased by almost 9 per cent but diesels saw a 4.3 per cent decline. The bad press that diesel vehicles are getting of late has put diesels on the backfoot.

  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from HJClassics 22 Dec 2013 (News)
  To prove just how healthy the market is, records were broken for the most expensive cars sold at auction, the Mercedes-Benz W196 racing car, and NART Ferrari 275GTB convertible, both which sold for approaching £20 million a piece. Many will still say that classic cars are still the best investments money can buy because of their increasing values, but I like to think it's simpler than that - you can drive a classic, and visit new and exciting places in it.
