  How to: Import a classic car 8 Apr 2014 (News)
  And warm, dry areas such as Greece and the Mediterranean islands are a plentiful source of cheap, rot-free classics, especially considering their depressed economies and low asking prices. Classics are being wiped out from Italy and Spain, though, and many will have already crossed over into neighbouring countries where the prevailing financial conditions are better. But there are still plenty around if you know where to look - but do avoid sellers with ambitious prices.

  Honest John's Motoring Agony Column 16-5-2015 16 May 2015 (News)
    Hire praise I felt I must write to commend Auto Europe & Enterprise Car rental who were involved in a recent car hire in Malaga, Spain. I always go through Auto Europe as they have an 0800 number and any operative I have spoken to are clear and concise and know the market.  In this instance I went with Enterprise (as they were rated best on the Auto Europe website) and an 8-day hire was £84.00, including full tank of fuel.  This was for a medium sized vehicle, which turned out to be an immaculate Toyota Auris with 7k kms.  At the Enterprise desk we were not hassled in any way to take the usual “add on” insurances and were given 2 bottles of water (a nice touch).  A full inspection of the vehicle was carried out before/after, again by very courteous staff.
