  Stunning Mk1 Mondeo for sale at £1500 25 May 2015 (News)
  Launched in Europe in 1992, the first generation Mondeo replaced the Sierra. Like it’s predecessor, it dominated the company car market. But despite being a hugely capable classic, it has failed to make the jump to classic status. With early models now 23 years old, we think it’s high time people started appreciating this car for what it was – a well specified, hugely capable family car.

  A Grand Monday: Citroen Visa Leader 14 Apr 2014 (News)
  Apart from small amounts of superficial surface rust under the bonnet, there is no rust anywhere on this car. There are a few tiny blemishes on the paintwork but overall it is well above average for what is nearly a 30-year-old car. Of course, stating that any car of this age is rot-free is always a gamble.

  Hidden Heroes: Rover 45 2003 Model Year 20 Dec 2019 (News)
  Whisper it, but it was quite the driver’s car, with pin-sharp handling and a superb gearshift. If you don’t believe us, try and have a go in one as you’ll be amazed.  Those chassis and gearbox improvements continued until the end of MG Rover, but in 2004 the 45 was given a ‘facelift’ akin to dragging a pig backwards through a lipstick factory, and no matter how good those last cars are, they’re hard to love.
