  A Grand Monday: Jaguar XJ40 3.2 5 Mar 2018 (News)
  Despite its flaky build quality and litany of electrical gremlins, the XJ40 was really quite a charming car. And while its well-documented foibles kept it in the bargain basement for many years, the XJ40 is now finally starting to catch on as a classic. Time sorts the wheat from the chaff, and as a result most of the crusty, badly maintained XJ40s are long gone, the remainder being cars that have been cherished and well looked after.

  A Grand Monday: Rover 618iS 26 Feb 2018 (News)
  Yet look at the styling and it looks more modern today than its eventual successor, the 75, thanks to the 1990s’ love of high waistlines, narrow headlamps and wedginess – traits that are once again becoming popular in modern car design. The 600 was about 70 per cent Honda Accord, including most of the mechanical components; the exceptions being the Rover-engined 2.0-litre Ti and 2.0-litre diesel models. This, in turn, meant that the 600 was one of the most reliable models in the Rover range, with none of the head gasket issues that affected K-series powered cars.

  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.

  The Phantom is owned by Hok Kiang Sia from Malaysia who described the Rally as ‘akin to climbing Mount Everest for the antique car racing world.’ The car caught fire on the first day in the Gobi Desert and Hok and Eric had to return to the Mongolian capital Ulaanbaatar - but rather than admit defeat they worked on the Rolls-Royce for five days before spending two weeks in catching up with the rally.

  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.
