  A Grand Monday: Citroen XM 18 Apr 2016 (News)
  Launched in 1989 and crowned European Car of the Year 1990, the Citroen XM is regarded by many as the last of the ‘true’ big Citroens. It certainly ticks most of the boxes – hydropneumatic suspension, technically complex and beautifully weird, the XM was a French executive car par excellence.

  Vintage Bentley reborn after being unearthed in London house 4 Sep 2015 (News)
  The remains of a 1928 Bentley 4½ litre have been pieced back together after they were unearthed in a house in the middle of London. Parts of the car, which features Victor Broom Drophead coachwork, were strewn throughout the owner’s house. Now, the car has been fully rebuilt by Bentley specialist William Medcalf. Medcalf explains, ‘About a year ago, a very nice lady called and said her father has passed away and that he had a couple of old cars in his house, one of which was a Bentley.’ William headed to the house near Kew Gardens and as soon as he arrived he began to spot bits of the car spread throughout the house.

  Bearing in mind that the scrappage scheme provided a fixed £2000 discount off a brand new car, such figures make depressing reading. Many of the new cars that were bought via scrappage would have been eligible for heavy discounting anyway, at a time when manufacturers and dealers were struggling to ‘shift metal’.
