  Essential tips to keeping your camper van and its contents safe 16 Apr 2020 (News)
  Again bearing in mind that camper vans are often stationary for extended periods – either at home or elsewhere – the battery can run flat, leaving the alarm without power, so it’s a good idea to make a note on your calendar or phone to check it at regular intervals. Extra precautions such as wheel clamps and steering locks will also go a long way, and it’s worth buying quality gear approved by recognised safety bodies such as Thatcham, Sold Secure or SCM.

  James Hunt's Hesketh under the hammer in Monaco 4 Feb 2014 (News)
  Run on a budget, and powered by the same Cosworth DFV as pretty much all the UK-based teams, most commentators predicted slim results for the Hesketh 308 in its first season. But this view was to quickly change when Hunt took to the track at the start of the season, as Postlethwaite had designed a nimble car that could make the most of his considerable talents.

  Pristine Matching Numbers Aston Martin DB5 in Historics 22nd September Auction. 14 Aug 2018 (News)
  A similar example of this 1960 Alvis TD21 Drop Head Coupe was voted “favourite car” against some very still opposition at the Britwell Salome classic car charity run last Sunday.

Considering the fact that a similar car sold for £150,000 in Historics Ascot sale last year, this one is very conservatively estimated at £54,000 t0 £62,000.

  Curios: Ford Supervan 9 Jan 2018 (News)
  In a nut, the plan was to shove as much of a GT40 as possible into a transit. A tubular spaceframe was bolted in take most of a GT40’s running gear. And the rear floor was cut to take the V8 and the unit was reworked to 4999c, which gave an estimated power output of 435bhp… in a Transit that weighed about 1.5 tons. With all that grunt, some serious work was needed to make sure it could get around bends and stop.
