  Castle Combe launches young drivers course 1 Sep 2011 (News)
  Turning 17 is a ticket to freedom, and all that’s required to make the most of that freedom is a driving licence and a car. But learning is expensive and it can take a long time – teenagers want to get on the road as quickly as possible. Predictably the rush that is now commonplace leads to some problems: statistics show one in five new drivers will have a crash in their first year.

  Speed Cameras Cost Lives 11 Nov 2003 (News)
  The lack of traffic police is illustrated by the dramatic fall in written warnings handed out to drivers of dangerous or unroadworthy vehicles, which has halved between 1996 and 2001. That equates to another half a million dangerous cars undetected. More worryingly, the lack of traffic police has led to a fall of 50,000 in the number of dangerous driving offences detected. Autocar have forwarded its findings to the government and has suggested that the manifesto it has put together is taken on board as a starting point of a major serious campaign to cut road deaths.

  A Grand Monday: Nissan Micra K10 18 Feb 2019 (News)
  .  It was also as reliable as clockwork, and was also one of the first Japanese cars to not give the Alfasud a run for its money in a rusting competition. Admittedly, K10s had their grot spots, but they were no worse than any of their contemporaries, while mechanical dependability and a slightly older than average buyer demographic meant many outlasted their peers.  This one’s a good example  of that - owned by just one person from new, It has covered just 77,000 miles and has all the hallmarks of elderly ownership, including the corners knocked off the bumpers and a worn syncromesh going into third gear.

  A Grand Monday: Ford Granada Scorpio 2 Jul 2018 (News)

  A Grand Monday: BMW E39 523i 25 Jun 2018 (News)
  .  If what you're after, however, is a thoroughly lovely, well-maintained and low-mileage modern classic, then stay on the line. It might not be the most desirable spec or colour, but this looks like a fabulous car, with an average of fewer than 5000 miles a year over its 21-year life, full service history and superb bodywork. We also have a nostalgic fondness for those brushed alloy base model wheels, which tend to be one of the first things to go as BMWs get older and fall into the 'wrong' type of ownership.

  Jewels of the Austin crown set for national Seven rally 31 Jan 2017 (News)
  One of the modern-day joys of owning an Austin Seven is the ready availability of moderately priced spare parts, making a Seven one of the easiest pre-war cars to own. The National Rally has been held annually in the grounds of Lord Montagu’s estate for 54 consecutive years and is organised by the 750 Motor Club. The event is open to all Austin Seven owners regardless of whether or not they are 750 club members and entries come from all over the UK and Europe. Austins form the core of the event, but pre-1975 vehicles of all makes are invited to attend and will have a designated parking area on the rally field.
