  New Citröen Xsara 15 Oct 2000 (News)
  No such problems with the 137bhp 2.0 litre which gets up to 100mph very quickly indeed. Both drivetrains are much better than that of the 'old' 1.6. The ultra-economical 90bhp 2.0HDI diesel continues, of course.

  Ford and Fiat miss out on top Euro NCAP safety ratings 3 Mar 2017 (News)
  Land Rover's new Discovery also scored five stars, but in the frontal offset test the driver airbag bottomed out due to insufficient pressure. The recent facelift of the now ten year old Fiat 500 received just three stars, despite the fact it was awarded a five star rating when first tested in 2007. This is, in part, down to more rigorous testing implemented in 2009 which changed the way cars are assessed.

  Fickle Market Reflected at Auction 26 Apr 2002 (News)
  Standard fleet fodder that used to sell well is now being shunned by a much more fashion conscious, image conscious market, boosted by hundreds of thousands of ex-company car drivers who want something different from their old company hacks. That’s why top bid for a 34,000 mile Daewoo Nubira 1.6SE was £2,000; why a 67,000 mile 98S Mondeo 1.8iLX failed to raise more than £2,200 and why all the other fleety stuff stuck to the auction floor.

  Brooklands Classics Day 24th July 2016 Gallery 24 Jul 2016 (News)
  I firs met Rockin' Roy and his '59 Pontiac Bonneville back in 1992, just after he'd bought the car, so it was fantastic to seem him and his car 24 years later, still in the same fine condition. Original 1932 Ford 5 window coupes like this are fetcing well over $40,000 in the USA, so it was great to see this one, slammed at the front and with a perios modded Flathead V8.

  A 1929 Bentley 4½-litre, recently unearthed from a family barn after 30 years sold for more than double its estimate at auction over the weekend. The car sailed past its £300,000 estimate at Bonhams sale at the Beaulieu International Autojumble to eventually sell for £695,900. According to Bonhams, the vendor only recently found the car gathering dust in his grandfather’s garage. Rob Hubbard, Bonhams motoring specialist, said, ‘It was an incredible discovery; the chassis, engine, axle, gearbox, steering box numbers are all present and correct, the interior is completely original in wonderful green leather. For a car that’s over 80 years old, it’s truly astounding.’ The vendor’s grandfather purchased the Bentley in 1935 and is known to have used it for family holidays throughout the 1930s and 1940s.
