Bags of Bargains at Blackbushe Today 23 Oct 2002 (News)
Let me repeat that: £6,150 for an 18 month old Vectra in the best colour with the best (chain cam) engine. Fancy a soft-top sports car? It’s a good time to get one. They don’t come much sportier than a 60,000 mile 98S Mazda MX5 1.8 in a nice metallic blue with alloys. -
Prices All Over The Place At Auction Today 11 Oct 2002 (News)
When you get traders telling you that prices for the same car can vary by £1,000 one day to the next you know the market is on the edge of a cliff. On the one hand, traders are still buying to firm orders. On the other, cars are simply going to the highest bidder and vendors are glad to get them gone. -
Scramble for Cars at Auction Today 24 Jul 2002 (News)
Last week’s warning turned out to be about a week premature. And Blackbushe today was flooded with private punters anxious to buy a car either for the holidays or instead of them. So, while there were still plenty of cheapies, there were also more than a few bidding battles taking cars well above the money the trade was prepared to pay. -
Curios: Modified London taxis 24 Jan 2014 (News)
The conversion – handled by WN’s limousine-and-hearse division, Coleman Milne – involved rehanging the rear doors so that they were forward-hinged, and then adding a further pair of forward-hinged doors, as well installing an extra row of seats in the retrimmed rear compartment. The car gained some exposure ferrying special guests to and from the 1986 British Motor Show but no further examples were built, presumably due to the high costs involved in comparison to the production cars which Coleman Milne were used to converting. -
DTV Vauxhall Firenza Magnum heads to auction 18 Feb 2016 (News)
The interior boasts Sparco front seats, while the original instruments are supplemented by a Stack array. When the car returned to the racetrack in February 2006 for the Vintage Sports Car Club's Pomeroy Trophy at Silverstone, it was issued with the same competitor number (56) that it had carried at Spa back in 1977. -
SMMT issues a statement on Volkswagen emissions scandal 23 Sep 2015 (News)
The industry body for car manufacturers - the SMMT - has issued a statement on the Volkswagen emissions scandal. In an effort to reassure car buyers that this is an isolated incident and limited to the American market, it has said: “The UK automotive industry understands the concerns consumers may have following the actions of one manufacturer in regard to emissions testing and the subsequent decision to recall a large number of its cars. -
Second Preview Brightwells Classic Car Auction, Leominster, Wednesday 26th November 18 Nov 2014 (News)
The speed was necessary in order to transport things like complex ice cream gateaux across the North Yorkshire Moors to a hotel at Robin Hood’s Bay before the cake melted, but the narrow width of the car was also very handy in Scarborough traffic where it would nip through motorcycle sized gaps. Unfortunately Brightwells car has the rather weedier 848cc A Series engine and needs some light recommissioning, part of which, may I suggest, could be a 1,275cc engine. -

Comment: Could the new MG be China's Datsun 240Z? 21 Apr 2017 (News)
Back in the late 1960s, one of the more prominent names in the fledgling Japanese car industry told the world it was about to build a sports car. Not only that, but a sports car that would take on the Europeans and the Americans and beat them at their own game. And my, how we laughed... -

The MoT Files: Exemption for pre-1960s cars. Do the numbers stack up? 22 May 2012 (News)
Looking at it this way, the argument for keeping the test on pre-1960 cars seems about as strong as that for introducing the test on two year old cars. But - and this is a big one - is that you could argue that without the MoT test there could be almost 10,000 unroadworthy cars on the road. -
Plenty of Precedents at Top Car Today 14 Feb 2005 (News)
Interestingly there was another in the carpark with ‘For Sale’ stickers in its windows, just like a £400 Astra parked on a grass verge near the local chip shop. Hardly the way to merchandise a Bentley, old chap. The Navigator and the Bentley were trader’s cars, looking for an opportunity. The Black Horse cars were entered by a finance house looking to get its money back. The two Aston Martin Vanquishes in this part of the sale were both sold, so you can take it as read that the prices they fetched were what the trade was prepared to pay. -
Brexit – What does it mean for classics? 18 Jul 2016 (News)
Luckily, for me, having a few old cars in my life is necessary for my sanity, so if things get really tight, I’ll probably just give up eating instead… -
