  Why we should be backwards in looking forwards 2 Aug 2017 (News)
  To be seen to be looking back was to be seen as not progressive. Some, one notable example being Citroen, would baulk at mention of their past glories.

  Comment: Has the recession wiped out some future classics? 21 Mar 2016 (News)
  In recent weeks, we’ve seen once ubiquitous cars start to rise from the under-a-grand ‘bit of fun’ category to being worth a reasonable amount of cash. Three grand for a Ford Orion Ghia, for example, or Citroen XM Exclusive that reached the heady heights of £4,850 on eBay, and it wasn’t even a low mileage example. Indeed, I was offered £3,000 for my 1995 Rover 800 Vitesse just the other day, and it must be worth that much at least, because I said no.
