  So far there have been 2,453,426 new cars registered in 2015, an increase of 6.2 per cent on the same 11 month period in 2014. It has been reported that Volkswagen sales are down 20 per cent in November versus October, but it’s too early to tell if the drop in sales is a direct result of the diesel emissions scandal, since unaffected manufacturers including Citroen, Lexus, Fiat and Nissan saw similar reductions in sales volume in November 2015.

  Air con bills rise as the weather warms up 20 Jul 2010 (News)

Volkswagen Golf owners could be hit with a bill of £713, and Ford Focus drivers might not get off lightly either, with the highest claim paid by Warranty Direct as high as £650. Repairing the air con is a labour-intensive job, requiring on average 2h37m of a mechanic's time to put right.

  E-types are top sellers at British Heritage auction 19 Jun 2018 (News)
  A 1997 BMW Z3 1.9-litre made £1100 – although it was a four-pot with eight owners and limited service history. And tidy but useable Mk3 Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet made £350 – a perfect summer bargain. As was the 1998 Ford Scorpio 24v Cosworth – fully loaded but with tired paint, it will make someone an excellent everyday hack, if they can afford the fuel.
