  Hidden Hero: Peugeot 307 GT Feline 13 Sep 2019 (News)
  It hid its light under a bushel, too, for apart from slightly bigger rims (styled to look as insipid as the smaller alloys in the 307 line-up) and part-leather seats with slightly thicker bolsters, it didn’t look like much of a performance car. It was almost as if Peugeot had tried to make the 307 interesting and then apologised halfway through, putting the boring bits back in place. The 307 GT Feline is, as a result, a very rare car today.

  A Grand Monday: Honda S-MX 21 Aug 2017 (News)
  The odometer shows 192,000, which is made up of miles and kilometres - it was converted at point of import in 2008, at which time it had covered 102,000 kms, which is around 62,000 miles. So, in total, 150,000 miles or so. The car is located near Aberystwyth.

  A Grand Monday: Ford Scorpio Ultima 24 Jul 2017 (News)
  Indeed, road testers of the day compared its handling capabilities to those of a contemporary BMW. In many respects, then, the Scorpio wasn't a bad car. There was very little sense in buying one new thanks to ridiculous levels of depreciation (the looks, again, didn't help), so the vast majority were sold into fleets and covered high mileages. As a result, few have survived.

  A Grand Monday: Mercedes-Benz C180 15 Aug 2016 (News)
  Well, whereas the old-school Benzes were the absolute byword for longevity, renowned for being over-engineered and having the best build quality of any car in the world, their successors had been more closely inspected by the Stuttgart bean counters, whose desire to save money overruled the desire of those who wanted to make them the best they could be.

  A Grand Monday: Volvo 340 18 Jul 2016 (News)
  And that means they survived. What nobody was expecting, though, was that they would become a cult car. Yet the 340’s layout, with its rear transaxle, means near 50:50 weight distribution, better than a Porsche 911. Which made it a popular choice with drifters. Not the bad, the drivers who prefer going sideways over going forwards.

So we waited and waited.

  Museum marks Croft's motor sport half-century 27 Aug 2014 (News)
  Throughout the Sixties and Seventies, Croft was home to the Daily Mirror Trophy Meetings and eventually grew into a site for testing and development of new cars, as well as a place where drivers could go for training and instruction. In 1967, Croft got its big break when it began to host rallycross events, using part of the tarmac race circuit combined with a new, specially-created loose-surface track.

  Aston Martin and Mercedes-AMG join forces 25 Jul 2013 (News)
  Replacing the the current V8 and V12 powertrains is a massive investment for an independent car manufacturer without a larger technical partner. Given AMG's's excellence in this department, and with the back-up of the might of Mercedes-Benz, it would seem that Aston Martin now has the resources to move on from its current power units, which are very loosely based on Ford technology.
