One unusual entry is the Black Cat mascot, said to be the first prototype of a redesigned mascot commissioned by William Lyons, chairman of SS Cars Ltd and latterly Jaguar Cars, in the 1950s.

  Curios: Standard 2000 25 Jun 2015 (News)
  Indian-built Standard 2000s began rolling off the Madras-based production line from 1985.

With a list price of 212,000 rupees at its launch, it was hugely expensive for the time, and could only be afforded by the very wealthiest of car buyers.

  A Grand Monday: Tempting Mazda Eunos for £1295 30 Mar 2015 (News)
  One thing to be aware of, though – this is a Catagory D write off. That means that the car has accident damage and the insurance company deemed it uneconomical to repair. With cars of this age (and low value), however, that can often mean just light panel damage. The seller says it has been checked over, but you’ll need to satisfy yourself that the repair work has been done to a high standard.
