  • Cabbie jailed after MGB death crash 23 Jan 2015 (News)
    Crowder went on to suggest that most road users often drive more respectfully when they’re near to classic cars, yet owners and users of older cars should still take extra care when out on the road, 'They need to drive in a manner which respects modern vehicles and they need to know the risks.' Last summer saw another fatal crash involving a classic car, when Lincolnshire resident Anne Pattrick was killed after being flung from a Ford Anglia 105E in which she was a passenger.
  • BCA Pulse report shows that the budget market flourishes 14 Dec 2010 (News)
    This pattern is entirely consistent with this time of year as trade buyers ease back in advance of the Christmas break, as BCA Communications Director Tony Gannon explained. "Retail used car business levels tend to be slower at this time of the year and the reality is that not many motorists find a replacement used car in their pile of presents on Christmas morning. Consumers prefer to get Christmas out of the way and look for a car in January, perhaps with a pay review or bonus under their belt."

  • Mazda Scrappage Features Low Interest Finance 15 May 2009 (News)
    Under the terms of the programme, a £2,000 discount against the purchase price of a new Mazda can be obtained - £1,000 each from the Government and Mazda UK - when the owner scraps a vehicle over 10 years old. However, while some motor manufacturers have withdrawn their most competitive finance deals following announcement of the scheme, Mazda UK’s decision to keep in place its range of low finance options, backed by the giant Santander banking organisation, means even more added value for vehicle owners changing their ‘old’ model for a new Mazda.

  • Techno Classica 2015: Blue Train Bentley celebrates 85th birthday 20 Apr 2015 (News)

  • WEDNESDAY'S BUDGET TO HIT NEW GAS GUZZLERS 10 Mar 2008 (News)
    But these intentions don't appear to translate into a change in car buying habits. Instead, UK motorists are still motivated first and foremost by price, and getting a good deal on the used cars they buy. Environmental considerations came 10th on a list of car choice factors, behind price, make and model, low mileage and even colour.
  • 1963 Innocenti 1100S Spider Joins Lots in Historics 24th November Auction 22 Oct 2016 (News)
    This very pretty sportscar sharing looks with contemporary FIAT Spiders was based on the British Austin Healey Sprite and MG Midget. One of only 2,000 built, first with 948cc A-Series engines and latterly with 1,098cc the car was impoeted from Rome in 2015 and is MoTd to February 2017. Estimated at £9,000 to £12,000.   This 1935 Alvis Speed 20 Charlesworth spent its early life in East Africa where, as well as being uses as an everyday car, it was raced at the Langa Langa circuit in Kenya before suffering an overheating problem.
  • A Grand Monday: Mk2 Volkswagen Golf Driver for £750 30 Nov 2015 (News)
    Both jobs will require the removal of the cylinder head and won’t be cheap. Volkswagen running gear is typically strong but this car is 26 years old now so the condition of the brakes, shocks and springs will need to be carefully checked. Especially if a previous owner has been a bit enthusiastic and decided to chop the springs or fit a huge exhaust.
  • Channel Tunnel: Happy 20th birthday 8 May 2014 (News)
    In 1994 the Vauxhall Omega was the brand new kid on the block, and Citroen Xantia and Ford Mondeo last year’s old news. The thrifty or sadistic fleet managers could even still buy a new Maestro (much to future Rover CEO Bernd Pischetsreider's dismay). Air conditioned cars were just filtering down to the lowly models, in car entertainment peaked at the new CD multichangers, and a 60-series tyre was still considered low profile.
  • Report: Peking to Paris, day 11 8 Jun 2013 (News)
    Driver Bob Sherrard reckons his rally is over… he wants to limp it across the border into Russia in the hope spares can be found to solve the problem, if not, then it will be going home to Australia. This great old rally car had nothing left to prove and has performed remarkably well, in a closely-fought contest with Gerry Crown’s Leyland P76. The Citroen was built by Jim Reddiex for the 1974 World Cup Rally, and with former Australian rally-champion, Ken Tubman, and language-expert and sponsor Andre Welenski on the back seat, it romped across the Sahara desert and back again, after driving deep into Nigeria and then on to finish in Munich, winning the event.
  • Peugeot Sponsors Student Road Safety Awards 25 Sep 2012 (News)
    Peugeot has sponsored an initiative by Paul Kerr to introduce Student Road Safety Awards and encourage awareness of road safety among young people. Paul Kerr's son, Jon-Paul, was 17 when he was killed in a car driven by an 18-year-old who had passed his test only a fortnight earlier. The bereaved father was determined that his son's death must not be in vain and after years of campaigning and lobbying, finally won parliamentary backing for the launch of the inaugural Peugeot Student Road Safety Awards, supported by the Department for Transport (DfT).
  • Very Few Cheapies at Auction Today 20 Sep 2002 (News)
    September has been much slower for new car sales than anyone thought (including me), so the expected flood of part-exchanges has been more like a gentle flow. The trouble is, everyone banked on buying September part-exchanges and, even though there are now too many buyers for too few cars, they still end up having to buy.
  • Renaults Dear at Auction Today 19 Dec 2001 (News)
    Renault Financial Services had a huge section of 150 cars at auction today, but, with strong support from at least one big Renault dealer, none of them were cheap. A pair of S reg old-shape Scenic 1.6 Alize with 42k and 26k miles sold for £6,225 and £6,450.
  • Hidden Hero: Rover Metro GTi 16v 4 Oct 2019 (News)
    It’s not that the Metro was a bad car - far from it, in fact, with a great engine and fun handling - but it was badly packaged, built on an old-fashioned body-shell and really quite pricey for what it was. It was competitive in its early years, but by around 1993 the cracks were starting to show, with all-new rivals such as the Fiat Punto, Renault Clio and Vauxhall Corsa bringing the supermini market bang up to date.
  • Famous faces gear up for Silverstone Classic 3 May 2017 (News)
    Owners of the charismatic Austins will qualify on Friday and race on Sunday with the celebrities in action on Saturday. The cars are well-known in classic racing circles and were introduced a few years ago by the Historic Racing Drivers Club (HRDC) as a cost-effective route into historic racing. Tickets for the event must be bought in advance.
  • Hyundai launches revised i10 2 Feb 2011 (News)
