  A Grand Monday: Renault Espace 19 Feb 2018 (News)
  Chrysler Europe's parent company, PSA, had other ideas, though, and deemed that the model would be too expensive to put into production, allowing Matra to keep the design. Matra, in turn, approached Renault with what was effectively an off-the-peg production-ready car that would introduce a new concept to the car market, and the Renault Espace was born. Thirty-four years on, and the multi-purpose vehicle, or MPV, is a staple of most manufacturers' model ranges.

  We don’t know if that’s really something we’d want to boast about, but it does look very original. There are three former keepers on the logbook and the car has an MoT certificate until 7 May. The seller assures us it’s a lovely car, 'I bought it from an elderly Welsh gentleman just over a year ago.' In that time, it’s needed some welding, as well as two new front tyres and a new radiator.

  Phil Garratt and Kieron Brown have led the pack in the V8-powered classic since the event started on 6 June, but it broke down in the Yellowstone National Park.  Believed to be the first Stag ever to take on an endurance rally, the car arrived in Idaho Falls on the back of a flatbed truck after the Triumph lost its transmission.  The news might not be all bad, though, we hear that a differential and seals are being shipped in from Arizona on an overnight service and that a garage in Idaho Falls where they 'work on old cars' has offered to help them put it all together.
