  Historics 18th May Action Generates £670,000 of Sales 20 May 2011 (News)
  It was fitting that a number of British marques took centre stage at the birthplace of British motorsport, with Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Jaguar, Jensen, Healey as well as Rover, all well represented amidst numerous entries from European manufacturers Ferrari, Alfa Romeo, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche. A resplendent green 1928 Rolls-Royce Phantom I Boat Tail Tourer by Brampton Brothers, sporting a somewhat eccentric yet elegant body style, sold for £48,000, while an equally eye-catching yellow 1930 Rolls-Royce Phantom II Three Position Open Tourer, witnessed a lengthy bidding war that ultimately ended with the hammer hitting £25,000.

  Next Year's Festival of Speed 2-4 July. Book Now. 21 Nov 2009 (News)
    Equally, many legendary Italian motor sport heroes took on their countrymen in non-Italian machinery, such as Nuvolari and Varzi in German Silver Arrows, Agostini and Rossi rising to new heights on Yamahas, Mercedes-Benz conquering the Mille Miglia, and Porsche making the Targa Florio its own.  The 2010 Festival of Speed will honour the cars, motorcycles, drivers and riders that raced with unbridled Latin zeal, and the legendary feats they achieved, with a particular emphasis on the centenary of one of Italy’s most celebrated marques – Alfa Romeo.

  Should I restore my classic car? 30 Apr 2018 (News)
  But if you’ve got 1990s modern classic like a Mercedes-Benz 190, taking the car off the road and having it restored will cost you significantly more money than the car will ever be worth. In this case, you’re better off taking the MoT advisories list and adding jobs to it.

  A Grand Monday: Ford Sierra 2.3 Ghia 1 Apr 2014 (News)
  They might seem a bit fragile inside these days, and as they were built to survive a set lifespan (that's long gone now), don't expect your Sierra to feel like an old Mercedes-Benz inside. But then, any left now, will undoubtedly have been cherished. Which brings us on to the car I spotted this week in the ads. It's an early example, built within a year of the Sierra's launch, and particularly nice because it's a low-mileage specimen with all the toys.
