  Mazda to build a Compression Ignition Petrol Engine with a 35% improvement in economy 8 Nov 2017 (News)
  But renewable energy from solar panels, wind farms and hydro generation just isn’t going to make enough juice to keep everyone’s lights on, never mind power 30 million electric cars. The big money is not going into generating electricity, it’s being invested in short-life electric cars and short-life batteries. They talk about "renewable energy" but what they really mean is "renewable cars."

  A Grand Monday: Renault 25 GTS Auto 12 Jun 2017 (News)
  s=carAndClassic&id=C878493" title="Renault 25 GTS Auto">only six are the GTS Auto as featured here , an extremely scarce Mk1 example.  Sure, this car has its faults. It needs a starter ring gear repair that the vendor reckons is a gearbox out job (his reason for sale), and it also has no MoT, though the previous test has only recently expired and there's nothing scary in the MoT history to suggest major repairs might be required. At £550, we reckon this R25 is a rare and unusual car that's well worth saving.

  A Grand Monday: DAF 44 30 Jan 2017 (News)
  The tail-happy handling, direct drive transmission and eminent tunability of the air-cooled engine also gave the little DAF a reputation as quite a fun rally car, and it went on to become a regular class winner on the world stage - even today, it's a popular historic rally car choice. This car , currently for sale on Merseyside, clearly isn't ready for the road, but it's a fabulous project.

  Restored Vauxhall Viva GT on display at NEC show 31 Oct 2016 (News)
  The GT had just one other owner before Steve bought the car and was originally painted Sebring Silver. But the team opted for a more vibrant hue and settled on Monza Red, which would have been available when the car was new. But before painting, the surprisingly sound body was stripped and acid-dipped at Enviro Strip in Tamworth, after which it was returned to Luton for some sheet metal work.

  Stunning Mk1 Mondeo for sale at £1500 25 May 2015 (News)
  Launched in Europe in 1992, the first generation Mondeo replaced the Sierra. Like it’s predecessor, it dominated the company car market. But despite being a hugely capable classic, it has failed to make the jump to classic status. With early models now 23 years old, we think it’s high time people started appreciating this car for what it was – a well specified, hugely capable family car.

  The Junior Zagato is UK registered and is accompanied by an MoT test certificate valid until May 2015 and an historic road fund licence, enabling the lucky new owner to drive away from the sale. With period coach built motor cars becoming more and more sought after, what better way to enter such ownership than with this beautifully styled Italian motor car which is available at a very reasonable estimate of £18,000 - £25,000.

  Review: Rush 4 Sep 2013 (News)
  Mclaren driver Hunt, played by Chris Hemsworth, is a playboy, a smoker and a drinker who is well aware of the risks of high octane racing and is very willing to take them, while Ferrari driver Lauda (Daniel Brühl) is calculated and methodical about everything he does, from setting up his cars to racing on track. The race sequences themselves are spectacular and visceral, though they fall into the trap so typical of Hollywood driving movies, showing the drivers operating their cars so aggressively they’d likely damage them.

  World Cup Maxi to go under the hammer 31 Jan 2013 (News)
  It was restored by the present owner to the original specification, plus appropriate upgrades such as contemporary tyres, the Maxi is a perfect example of the international rally car genre of its day. Ultimately, the team, made up of Tish Ozanne, Bronwyn Burrell and Tina Kerridge (below) didn't make it to the end of the event, being forced out through being out of time at a control point in Argentina, the car showed promise, running as highly as 35th out of 106 starters in the European rally stages.  Commenting recently on the end of their rally, Tina Kerridge remarked: 'It all comes flooding back to me - ‘flooding’ being the operative word.
