  Are future classics a thing of the past? 15 Jun 2016 (News)
  I’m not one of those that stares at the world through rose tints - nor am I the kind of person that believes old is better because things were made properly back then. Indeed, the 2014 BMW 3-series that propels me to work and back every day is, to the technologically-minded, an insanely wonderful machine. And therein lies the rub. So advanced is the technology in today’s cars that with them comes built-in obsolescence.

  Rovers Not So Strong at Auction Today 29 Apr 2005 (News)
  While a rock solid 52k mile 97R Nissan QX 3.0 SEL V6 auto failed to bid past £1,950. And right at the top end, even the bankers are slipping, A 14k mile 03 reg BMW X5 3.0d Sport auto failed to get anywhere near reserve at a top bid of £30,000, maybe due to its inappropriate grey leather interior. That said, though a black 98k mile 2002/52 X5 4.4i Sport started at £16,000, it sold for £20,400, which can only mean there’s a RHD export market for big petrol engined black ones somewhere.
