  Top lots in Barons' 'Winter Warmer' sale 24 Feb 2014 (News)
  The 1964 Lotus Cortina has been in the registered keeper’s ownership for 30 years and originally arrived in a number of boxes.

Estimate: £35,000-£45,000. The 1970 Jaguar E-Type S2 roadster has been the subject of a ground-up, nut and bolt restoration, with not a part of the car remaining untouched.

  FIAT to Supply BSM With 500s 1 Aug 2009 (News)
  Because if it sees large numbers of ex BSM Fiat 500s hitting the used market at the sort of percentage ex BSM cars usually reach the used market it's going to be a slap in the face with a wet fish for anyone who paid full list price for a 500. In the past the identity of ex BSM cars was hidden by registering them to 'Engineering Education Trust' so as not to put used buyers off."

  BCA Pulse Shows Auction Prices Rising 6 Jan 2009 (News)
  Until motorists find it easier to raise finance and some confidence returns to the consumer marketplace, there is nothing to suggest that used car values are going to climb in the short term – but even so 2009 should not see a repeat of the price patterns experienced in 2008. The first few months of any year are traditionally among the strongest for used car sales and given that used cars have never been better value for money or more affordable, we might see some improved levels of activity in the first quarter – which hopefully will set the scene for the rest of the year.

  Group B cars had to Silverstone 12 Jun 2019 (News)
  Cars could be mid-engined two-seaters and manufacturers only had to produce 200 examples that bore no more than a passing resemblance to showroom models to meet minimal homologation requirements. As a result, in the four years between 1983 and 1986, rallying developed further and faster than it had done in the previous four decades.

  SEAT removes all optional extras from its range 15 Aug 2018 (News)
  "In fact, people find it really difficult to understand all the permutations and options when buying a new car. We realised it was time for a change and that if we can help people get to what they want in an easier way, then they will enjoy the experience more." As well as making the car buying process easier for the customer, complex WLTP changes to official fuel economy tests mean individual factory options could change the CO2 output of the car.

  A Grand Monday: Fiat Punto 60S 30 Jul 2018 (News)
  It’s a basic ‘S’ trim model, but that’s often how small Fiats work best – no electric windows, no power steering, no complex bits to go wrong – just a fun, basic and great looking little car that’s really well preserved. With a cheerful bright blue interior and excellent, solid bodywork, the only thing this car really wants for is a set of original Fiat hubcaps to replace the nasty aftermarket ones that it’s fitted with.
