  Fiat Panda 2022: New Panda to stick with petrol engines 22 Dec 2021 (News)
  While it would be wrong to say the current Fiat Panda (on sale since 2011) in unsafe, a zero star NCAP safety rating means it's not as safe as rivals such as the three-star Volkswagen Up.

  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.

  Second Preview Brightwells Classic Car Auction, Leominster, Wednesday 26th November 18 Nov 2014 (News)
  1973 Volkswagen 412LE, no reserve.  A mate of mine had one of these in London in 1973, but nowadays you won’t find a rarer mainstream VW. This one has the 80PS 1,679cc Bosch D-Jetronic fuel injection (like my mate’s car), but the model was the last new air cooled rear engined VW before the K70 and the Mk 1 Golf took Volkswagen into front wheel drive.
