Accessible Classic: The Fantastic, Forgotten Citro 5 Apr 2015 (Forum)
The 13.7-ft long (4.2-metre) GS was aimed at the growing middle class, and competed both in size, performance and price with cars like the Ford Taunus/Cortina, Opel Ascona, Saab 96, Morris Marina, Fiat 124, Alfasud and Volkswagen K70. Why pick the GS over the more mainstream competition? Simple: its advanced construction and unrivalled ride comfort. It had the hydropneumatic suspension and brake system of its larger siblings, disc brakes all ’round, and a newly-developed, high-revving air-cooled four cylinder engine. -

Are current VED rules simply killing old cars? 9 Nov 2013 (Forum)
(Regardless of whether it's necessary) Are they designed to push people into buying new cars? Let me give you an example... using my own car. My car is a Volkswagen Lupo SDI. It has a 1.7 N/A Diesel Engine. It's not fast, it's not particularly fun, but it's super fuel efficient and great for my 80 miles a day, travelling to work and back. Driving carefully, you can easily achieve in excess of 75MPG.
