  162,651 Miles, 10 Owners: £5,750. 20 Dec 2004 (News)
  Last Monday’s 1972 Ro80 was back, now with an earsplitting exhaust and bid to £475, but it was running sweetly with no more than a bit of condensation smoke out of the back. Even a 144k mile 93L Citroen ZX 1.4 Reflex was all of £130. A bit more real world was a 6 month old 6k mile 04 reg MINI Cooper S in al-over black with a full length sunroof sold for £14,250, a 97k mile 99R BMW 523iSE Touring auto, sold for £4,750 and a 60k mile 98S Ford Explorer sold for £4,050.

  A pretty metallic blue 128k mile 98R Mercedes C250TD Classic auto estate sold for £4,800. A 42k mile 98R Previa 2.4GS 8 seater auto sold for £4,100. A 24k mile 2001Y Citroen Saxo 1.1 Desire with PAS sold for £2,625. And a 58k mile 97P Fiesta 1.3LX sold for £975. Yes, I know this is an oddball collection of prices but the thing they have in common is they’re all extremely cheap.

  Hybrid Concept Cars from Subaru and MCC 11 Sep 2001 (News)
  As well as this, it compensates the traction interruption caused by the system during gear shifting. At low speeds it can drive the car on its own. Like the Citroen Dynalto, driving performance also benefits from the electrical energy which is supplied to the drivetrain in addition to the engine power. The car accelerates from zero to 60mph in just 17.4 seconds, two seconds less than the Smart CDI.

  Shortage of Cars Pushes Auction prices Up 26 Jan 2001 (News)
  A 20,000 mile 98S new shape Mazda MX5 1.8S with alloys and leather sold for £11,100 And a yellow 8,000 mile 2000W Renault Megane 1.6 Sport Alize convertible with a lemon peel repainted bonnet and front wing bid all the way to £11,200. To my mind, the only real cheapies were a 133,000 mile 96N Citroen Xantia 2.0iSX 16v which bid to a lowly £1,375, a 93,000 mile 96N Xantia 1.9LXTD which bid to £1,800 and a desirable but 91,000 mile 98R Peugeot 406 Pininfarina coupe with aircon which bid to £7,475.

  Scrapping Over the Scraps at Auction Today 2 Mar 2009 (News)
  However, at the dearer end there seem to have been some drops. £9,600 wasn’t a lot to secure an 08 Citroen C4 Grand Picasso 7-seater. £13,800 tells us what a 6k miles 08 reg VW Eos 2.0TDI 143CR is really worth. And if you needed a chunky towcar, a 5k mile 2007/57 facelift Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2 DI-DC Equippe auto SWB was almost half price at £13,900.

  Prices Realistic at Auction Today 25 Jul 2008 (News)
  £9,600 was all the trade was prepared to pay for a 48k mile facelift 05 Mercedes C220CDI Avant Garde auto with half leather, £10,000 for a 31k mile 05 BMW 330i, £10,100 for a 19k mile 06 BMW 318iSE, and just £4,150 for a 106k mile 02 BMW 320d SE Touring. Even a 57k mile 04 Citroen C3 1.4HDI LX (£35 tax and 60mpg) was just £2,850. And an 18k mile 06 Renault Megane 1.5DCI Dynamique Coupe Convertible (the most economical one) sold for £8,300. Bidding for a 45k mile 06 SAAB 9-3 1.9D 150 Linear convertible petered out at £7,800, however, largely due to the white unburned petrol smoke coming out of its exhaust pipe.

  NEC Classic Motor Show 2016: Pride of ownership finalists revealed 7 Nov 2016 (News)
  A 1967 E-Type Jaguar 4.2 Roadster and a 1963 Austin-Healey are also included along with a freshly restored 1973 Jensen Interceptor, a 1978 Lancia Beta 1600 Coupe, 1976 Citroen Ami Super, and the youngest car on display – a 1996 Lotus Esprit. The rarest vehicle on display has to be a 1950 Nipper Truck Milk Float which is bound to win over plenty of voters. Believed to the the very last one in existence, it’s equipped with the correct period bottles including the old third-of-a-pint school milk bottles.
