  Historics sell 70% of 112 Lots at Brooklands on 3rd March 7 Mar 2011 (News)
  Further evidence of the growing appreciation for more modern ‘classics’ was provided with the sale of a 1985 Ford Sierra RS Cosworth.  With just 63,470 miles covered and being one of just 6,021 of the increasingly sought-after cars built, Historics sold the Moonstone Blue example for £14,000.

If you are stuck fast in snow, stay in the car, unless help is visible within 100 yards 9.

  Harrison also suggests checking the fuse box behind the passenger-side headlight to make sure the cover is securely fixed, and not broken, as if it’s loose or damaged water can get in and you’re looking at around £400 for any repairs.
