  A Grand Monday: Subaru Justy 30 Oct 2017 (News)
  It's a quirky car, but a useful one. Like most Subarus, it has four-wheel-drive, operated via a selector lever to help cope with slippery terrain. And, being a Subaru, it's a serious set-up - it may look like a shopper's supermini, but the Justy was always a tough cookie when it came to the white stuff.  The vendor is very honest about the car's condition.

  On the basis of its history and its condition, the ex-Arthur Whittaker 1948 Jaguar Mk IV 3.5 litre in Historics March 4th auction at Brooklands is possibly the finest in the World. No beating about the bush, the car was built in December 1948 and first registered to Arthur Wittaker, then deputy chairman of Jaguar Cars Ltd in January 1949. Originally ordered with pigskin leather and walnut interior, this has been fully restored incorporating the original pigskin rear seatbacks.

  Competition in this year's Peking to Paris challenge is hotting up as rally crews reach Mongolia’s Gobi Desert. With 107 crews and cars making it to the Great Wall of China start line on Sunday, 12 June, and two days journeying through China, the first test took place after the border crossing into Mongolia. After a night under canvas, competitors were treated to a trio of special tests that challenged both car and driver, with some cars coming off the worst, including three-time winner Gerry Crown and Matt Bryson in the Leyland P76 who suffered oil problems.

  US-built DeLoreans set to go on sale in 2017 29 Jan 2016 (News)
  Wynne said, ‘It basically means if you are a global manufacturer of cars and you produce less than 5,000 cars a year, you can produce 325 replicas that match an original car that was made 25 years ago or earlier which fits us perfectly.’ The name of Wynne’s firm is the DeLorean Motor Company – but it has no links to the original business.

  Ford GT70 rally car on show in new motorsport exhibition 17 Feb 2015 (News)
  The GT70 and RS200 will go on show at Beaulieu as part of the museum’s A Chequered History exhibition. On loan from the Ford Heritage Collection, the cars are both prototypes of fascinating rally cars, which had their own ‘chequered histories’. That’s because despite being designed to win rallies, rally wins eluded both of them. The Ercole Spada-designed GT70 was conceived in 1970 to rival the giants of European rallying, like the Lancia Stratos, Renault Alpine and the Porsche 911.

  Ex-Moss and Jenkinson 300SL to be sold by Bonhams 9 May 2014 (News)
  Its history is impressive - it was the model-launch vehicle displayed by Daimler-Benz at the 1954 Paris Salon de l’Automobile exhibition, was the 1955 London Motor Show car displayed at Olympia, and it was also the 1955 road test car featured in the The Autocar magazine.  But most significantly, the car was used by Stirling Moss and Denis Jenkinson during course reconnaissance for the 1955 Mille Miglia round-Italy road race.

  Bonhams’ third annual auction during the Scottsdale Car Week almost doubled last year’s sale total and quadrupling that of the first year, with a-near £15m total hammered away on the day. Highlights of the sale were the bidding wars for the top-selling Alfa Romeo 6C and Ferrari 212.

  Take a break: The 1981 Dubai Grand Prix 21 Jan 2014 (News)
  The one-make Citroen CX race was fabulous, with drivers such as Derek Bell and John Watson dicing with Sir Stirling Moss and Dan Gurney. As for the cars, they were clearly not set-up for circuit action, but, boy, were they good at the off-track excursions. Predictably, it turned into a bit of a demolition derby, with a mere six cars finishing - and Sir Stirling Moss was less than happy with the outcome.

  Upgrades included upgrading the brakes with a vacuum servo in 1978 and rebuilding the engine with a new cylinder block in 1993, and new Arias forged pistons for more performance.

  Wednesday near-miss: Lynx Eventer 17 Apr 2013 (News)
  There was no argument that it offered far greater versatility, for while the boot space was similar to that of the standard car with the rear seats in place, it increased to some 39cu ft when they were folded, with the large rear hatch affording excellent access. Each Eventer was hand-built to order, and could be based either on a customer’s existing car or delivered as a brand new model.
