  A Grand Monday: Fiat 128 20 Jan 2014 (News)
  But it is in need of restoration, with the need for - at least - front wings, front panel and welding to inner rear arches - and only some of the parts are supplied. What can go wrong for £1500? But it's rare, full of Italian flair, and claimed to be the oldest one left here.

  Breathing is through 2-inch SU carburettors and power fed through a five speed synchromesh gearbox. A single Le Mans-style fuel filler cap is added and the car has a genuine factory fitted louvered bonnet with the front pair of louvers facing forward to aid cooling. Like the world-famous ‘NUB 120’ driven by Pat Appleyard, there are twin spotlights at the front.

  A Grand Monday: Austin Montego 2.0 Mayfair 27 Oct 2014 (News)
  The fact that it can be snapped up for just under a ‘grand’ makes it one of the best-value options for fans of ’80s metal.  The Montego was a successful car for BL, arriving in 1984 to steal sales away from the Sierra and Cavalier. Although derived from the five-door Maestro hatchback, Austin Rover’s new saloon looked quite different thanks to its sleeker front end and ‘three-box’ styling.

  Advice on Avoiding a Crash for Cash 30 May 2014 (News)
  MoneySupermarket advises on how to avoid becoming the victim of a 'crash for cash' scenario, where other drivers deliberately cause a crash where you are theoretically at fault. Obviously the first thing to do is be aware of the behaviour of the car in front and leave a sensible distance between it and you. If you are drivingt an automatic in slow moving traffic, left foot braking enables you to stop instantly if the car in front stops suddenly.

  British Motor Heritage to offer Mk1 Mini bodyshells 13 Feb 2017 (News)
  Plus smaller rear window, rear side windows, and rear light mountings. The Mk1 also had different A-pillars and hinge reinforcements, different sills, front and rear parcel shelves. The bonnet, inner and front valances were also different – as was the numberplate mounting. A prototype bodyshell was created last year and since then BMH has commissioned additional tooling to refine the finish and improve the build quality. A spokesman said, ‘BMH has used the later front bulkhead crossmember assembly as retooling for this non-visual part would have been prohibitive, and opted not to form the rotodip hole in the rear seat squab; recognising that a significant element of demand for the new shells will almost certainly be for historic motorsport.’

  Three 'as new' Triumphs for auction next weekend 20 Sep 2013 (News)
  The V5C states one owner being the owner of the garage, which has owned since. It is a timewarp item, that has been in heated storage and looked after, covered in sheets. It comes without tax or MoT, and will need full recommissioning, as will all three. The estimate for the Herald is £12,000-15,000. The two Dolomites are also also a significant opportunity to bag yourself a practical classic car, which you’re effectively going to the first driver of.

  Hidden Heroes: Ford Escort RS2000 16v 7 Jun 2019 (News)
  The handling was sweet, but the extra weight meant it lost a fair chunk of acceleration to the front-driven car. By the time the Mk5 Escort morphed into the Mk6 in 1995, the country’s car crime epidemic was easing and security had improved. The RS2000 grew fat alloys, a boot spoiler and a more heavily revised front bumper to make less of a secret of its sporting pretensions.
