  A Grand Monday: Rover 100 Ascot 15 Jul 2019 (News)
  By 1995, the Rover Metro was getting a little bit long-in-the-tooth. It had been a very successful car for Rover despite sharing much of its shell and platform with the original 1980 Austin Mini-Metro, along with its fluid-sprung Hydragas suspension. But, fun as it was to drive, the Metro felt very old fashioned alongside new 1990s rivals such as the Fiat Punto, Vauxhall Corsa and Nissan Micra K11.

  Classic ad of the week: 1980 Ladas 13 Feb 2015 (News)
  Lada wanted some of the Niva’s toughness to rub off on to the rest of the range, hence this dramatic advert showing its latest models being thrashed and abused in all kinds of wild situations. And the conclusion to it all was the strapline at the end, 'Tough cars, tame prices.' Yes, those Lada saloons might have been re-hashed versions of the old Fiat 124 from the 1960s, but they could apparently take all that nature – not to mention their drivers – might throw at them.
