  Hidden Hero: Audi 90 1 Nov 2019 (News)
  To add a bit more sizzle to its sausage, Audi waited a year and introduced the upmarket 90, powered by a characterful five-cylinder engine and distinguishable from the 80 by its one-piece plastic rear panel and front indicators that were moved from alongside the headlamp lenses to the front bumper, next to the now standard fog lamps.  With a choice of 2.0 and 2.2-litre engines with two valves per cylinder, developing 113bhp and 134bhp respectively, the 90 still wasn’t quick, but it was peppier than the four-cylinder models, with a free-revving nature and seductive soundtrack.   The 90 was available as both a front-wheel-drive or Quattro 4WD-equipped model, the latter identifiable by its side graphics and slightly raised ride height.  In 1989, Audi gave the 90 a bit more poke with a new 2.3-litre 20-valve turbo engine, developing 170bhp and finally giving the car the vigour it deserved.

  H&H Classic Auctions Comes to Harrogate 6 Mar 2008 (News)
  1962 ASTON MARTIN DB4 SERIES IV VANTAGE Notable as the first Aston Martin design on which the word "Vantage" was used to signify a distinct model, the DB4 Series IV Vantage was only in production between March and October 1962. One of just 45 cars made (and therefore rarer than a DB4 GT), chassis DB4/952/R has the further distinction of being the first customer car. As well as a 'big valve', triple SU carburettor fed Special Series engine, its generous specification included a DB4GT instrument panel, overdrive, limited-slip differential and heated rear screen.

  Classic advert of the week: Austin-Morris 1300 16 Dec 2014 (News)
  Nowadays you’d no doubt choose a 4x4 of some description. But back in 1970, British Leyland reckoned that all you needed was one of its front-wheel drive 1300 models. This advert cheekily described the Austin-Morris 1300 as ‘The perfect car for a dirty weekend’, simply because it offered extra rough-stuff ability compared with one of its rear-drive rivals.

  A Grand Monday: Lada Samara 1 Jul 2019 (News)
  It was more socially acceptable than the three-box Riva saloon and better to drive, but the interior was still cheap and fairly nasty, while the cheap nature of the car coupled to its fondness for corrosion means that it’s a very rare car now on UK shores.  All of which makes  this example  something of a curiosity.
