  Report: Peking to Paris, day 26 22 Jun 2013 (News)
  He now leads the Classics in the European Trophy after a consistent day crossing country and arriving on time. In the Classics, the big Citroen DS23 posted 6:08, Gerry Crown posted 5:22, and Peter Lovett’s Porsche smoothed out the corners to post 5:30, nobody getting near the time of the hairy Holden Ute. John Layzell’s VW Beetle developed a pistol-cracking backfire on the over-run into corners and set 6:14, and John Rich was a surprise performer in the 4x4 Toyota Jeep, posting 6:17, a reward for a particularly neat driving effort.

  Report: Peking to Paris, day one 28 May 2013 (News)
  This is not what you'd expect on day one of a month-long event, and bodes well for an interesting rally - from a spectator's standpoint. But the Citroen DS23 (below) from Australians Bob Sherrard and Peter Washington glided over the rough stuff, and just hoisted up its Hydropneumatic suspension to sail through the floodwater. The car that won the 1974 World Cup Rally across the Sahara in the hands of Jim Reddiex and Ken Tubman made light work of the day’s challenges.

  Glass’s, publisher of motor dealer ‘bible’ Glass’s Guide, says that for in-demand superminis such as the new Ford Fiesta, FIAT 500 and Citroen C1, a profit of up to £1,100 could be available if the consumer had received the full scrappage trade-in discount and then sold their new car privately after taking delivery. “The potential profit is greatest for those cars where the nearly-new value is currently high in relation to the list prices; notably small, affordable cars with low running costs,” explains Adrian Rushmore, Managing Editor at Glass’s.
