  Friday concept: Austin AR6 Prototype 23 Aug 2013 (News)
  This was a very sad decision to make on a couple of levels: AR6 proved that in-house design skills were still very strong, and that to dismiss them so readily in favour of Honda did all concerned a great disservice. Without AR6, the company’s small car presence – its strongest point at the time, still – would be severely compromised. The rest of the story is well-known and covered in the Rover 100/Metro review : the AR6 gave way to the R6 – and this car received the Alex Moulton modifications to its Hydragas suspension system.

  Captain America movie cars and trucks hugely exceed auction estimates 3 Mar 2011 (News)
  But, most intriguingly, some of the cars revealed 1960s 'hot rod' modifications. A 1946 Ford had what looked like a Mercury flathead V8 under the hood with twin downdraft Holley carbs. An outwardly innocent looking Chevy had twin carbs and an electric cooling fan.

  70 Years of Jaguars up for Auction at Sandown Park 22 Apr 2010 (News)
  The body/chassis appear to be quite sound and though the vendor does say that most parts are with the car, the vehicle must be considered to be incomplete. Estimate TBA. One unusual entry is the Black Cat mascot, said to be the first prototype of a redesigned mascot commissioned by William Lyons, chairman of SS Cars Ltd and latterly Jaguar Cars, in the 1950s.

  DISHONEST JOHN'S GUIDE TO SERVICE SCAMS 6 Oct 2001 (News)
  The Over-the-Top Oil Earner Even though the workshop's engine oil comes from a bulk tank at a huge discount, still charge for it per litre as if it has been supplied in individual litre bottles. The Warranty Maintenance Muckaround If the customer has a used car warranty requiring the car to be regularly serviced at a franchised dealer's, this can be a real goldmine. Be careful to find a long list of repairs and replacements, none of which are covered by the warranty, but all of which must be made for the warranty to remain intact.

  Honest John's Motoring Agony Column 16-5-2015 16 May 2015 (News)
  The chassis is apparently very good. The rest is all looking very tired. The previous owner (who the dealer bought the car from) was doing the restoration, but died before he could complete the task. The dealer is giving me no guarantee on the car, engine and gearbox, etc. I feel that the car is ostensibly a pile of wreckage.

That means you’ll be attended to by a Mercedes-Benz technician, the claim being to be able to repair around 90 per cent of problems at the side of the road, it even covering things like misfuelling.
