  A Grand Monday: MG ZS 120+ 15 May 2017 (News)
  V6s are already attracting reasonably good money (I rue the day I swapped mine for a semi-broken Citroen XM), but four-pots are still in the banger doldrums.

  Why these classic cars are redefining what's cool 27 Jul 2015 (News)
  I, meanwhile, was driving a beige Rover 800 Fastback, and just behind me in the queue, my mate Dave was piloting his yellow Citroen Visa. And you know what? We got more looks than any of the cars worth 200 times as much… Maybe I’m imagining it down to my own car leanings being in the direction of the ordinary.
