  £20 Mondeo at Auction Today 24 Nov 2004 (News)
  There was plenty more of interest today: some cheap cars; some not so cheap. But the word is that most dealers are now well stocked up for January and aren’t selling anything, so aren’t exactly fighting each other for cars. With two notable exceptions.

  Day of Contrasts at Auction 28 Sep 2001 (News)
  The supply of used cars depends on the sale of new ones, and September's predictions were based on around half a million motors feeding their way through. This hasn't happened. The result is quite a severe shortage of the used cars most in demand, and fleet disposal managers have now caught on to this.

  A Grand Monday: Rover 45 V6 Connoisseur 25 Mar 2019 (News)
  If you can lay your hands on some silver doors from a breaker, then it has the potential to be a truly immaculate car, with the added advantage of optional ‘Personal Line’ Copperbeech carpets and trim.  With a little bit of work, this will make a lovely car. Or alternatively, it’s a fabulous cheap runabout with a wonderfully smooth quad cam V6.

  Toyota to build Suzuki-badged cars in the UK 20 Mar 2019 (News)
  These will be badged and sold as Suzuki models. In return, Toyota will adopt Suzuki engines for compact cars at its plant in Poland. While Toyota is a long-established producer of hybrid vehicles, Suzuki has only dabbled in mild hybrid technology in recent years. The partnership is likely to see self-charging hybrid Suzukis to be introduced, as well as plug-in hybrid models.

  A Grand Monday: Rover 416 GSi 28 Jan 2019 (News)
  As the most successful product of the Rover/Honda partnership, the R8 was also one of the UK’s best-selling cars until its untimely demise (Coupe, Cabrio and Tourer excepted) in 1995, after just six years on sale.  The fact that you still see the odd 200 or 400 knocking around in daily use is testimony to the build quality of what was arguably Rover’s best-ever car (the 75 was probably better in a contemporary context, but the R8 is certainly more durable), and with interest in the model expected to pick up throughout 2019, we can’t help but think that  this week’s star of the small ads is a bit of a bargain.
