  Historics 25th November 2017 auction at Mercedes Benz World Results 28 Nov 2017 (News)
  The headline lots in Historics 25 th November auction at Mercedes Benz Word failed to sell, but there was plenty to show that there’s life in the Classic Car market still, even as winter imposes its icy grip on the country. So we did not see the wonderful 1929 supercharged Bentley find a new home on the day. Nor the 1953 R-Type Continental.

As for the amounts asked for: the existing £225m of £1bn allocated by the Ryder Report in 1974, but with a further £205m to be covered by the government between 1980-'84 for redundency and reconstruction costs.

  Nokian Weatherproof Wins Auto Express All Season Tyre Test 22 Sep 2015 (News)
  Two reservations about these tests are: 1: The admitted locations were Nokian’s own ‘White Hell’ test facility near Ivalo in Finland and Continental’s near Hanover in Germany. (Reality check: no car magazine or website ever conducts its own comparative tyre tests because none of them have the facilities or the cash to do so. They are always held courtesy of a tyre manufacturer.) 2: Though Michelin’s new Cross Climate all season tyres were launched in March this year, they were not one of the five against which Nokian Weatherproof were tested.

It illustrates how the totally unexpected can be recorded by an evidential car camera and absolves the driver of the SmartWitness equipped truck from any blame. In this case, the driver of the white 308 did at least pull over after the incident.

  IAM Launches Young Driver Attitude Report 1 Jan 2012 (News)

Thirty per cent of car occupant fatalities are drivers aged 17-24, or passengers of a driver aged 17-24*1, yet this age group makes up only eight per cent of all driving licence holders*2.
