  Homologation MG Metro 6R4 for sale at auction 14 Dec 2018 (News)
  ‘One of rallying’s true icons, the MG Metro 6R4 stands up there with legendary 80’s classics like the Audi Quattro, Lancia 037 and Renault 5 Turbo,’ explains Lionel Abbott, classic car specialist at Silverstone Auctions. Abbott added, ‘This is the closest you can get to driving a Group B rally car on the road. A homologation special like this with such low mileage presents a rare opportunity for rally fans and enthusiasts alike.’ For many rally fans, the Group B era still represents the pinnacle of the World Rally Championship, when cars were allowed unlimited amounts of boost and machines produced upwards of 600bhp.

There are also those vehicles that have been ‘built to last’ so that they can be passed down from generation to generation, undertake epic journeys and challenges, and even remain on the roads to this day – some with their original drivers.

  EuroNCAP results: a bunch of fives 28 Nov 2012 (News)
  The Dacia Lodgy's three-star rating is a disappointment, especially considering that parent company, Renault, is such a driving force in vehicle safety, and the EuroNCAP test in particular. In the frontal impact, the Lodgy perfomed like a car from the 1990s - the screen pillar was heavily deformed and the roof ended up bent in front of the B-pillar.
