  A Grand Monday: Ford Mondeo 25 Oct 2016 (News)
  Despite being 23 years old, it still looks fresh and modern, and is still a decent car to drive, too, making it ideal as a usable family classic. It was also a brilliant car when new – a deserved European car of the Year winner, and a model that completely transformed public perceptions of Ford’s ability to engineer well-made and fine handling cars after the PR disaster that was the Mk 4 Escort.

  A Grand Monday: Retro Renault 11 for £400 12 Oct 2015 (News)
  The seller says, ‘It currently has a blowing exhaust in the front section, probably could do with a couple of lower ball joints (which are readily available for little money), and the front brake pipes could do with checking as these were a previous advisory on the last MOT, but that should be it.’ As with any old car that’s been stood a while, the carb could do with adjustment as the choke can stick, which causes the revs to rise. We reckon a good service wouldn’t go amiss, either. The seller adds, ‘I bought the car with some very questionable additional electrical installations and have stripped all these out and returned the car to original condition.

  So tmorrow, HJ will take a CR-Z to Northumberland and back, a distance of more than 600 miles, and we'll see how he does on that particular exercise. Tomorrow's RAC London to Brighton run of over a hundred cars, each more than a hundred and five years old, celebrates the repealing of the ridiculous Red Flag Act that compelled every motor car to be preceded by a walking flunkey waving a red flag. Today's Brighton to London run of Futurecars celebrated the repealing of London Congestion Charges for all motor vehicles emitting less than 100g/km CO2.

  A Grand Monday: Peugeot 505 17 Mar 2014 (News)
  How times have changed.   Today, the 505 is a well-know sight for those who do lots of travelling in North Africa, where it seems that most of these cars - and their older cousins, the 504 and 404 - ended up. Why? Well, big old Peugeots are mechanically simple, are roomy, comfortable, ruggedised for bad roads, and most importantly, seem to be able to survive an earthquake without damage.
