500 Buyers at 'Classics From BCA' Auction 6 Mar 2008 (News)
The 1965 Corvair coupé was finished in white with matching leather trim and was in largely original condition throughout. Acquired from a museum in Kansas and imported into the UK a number of years ago, the car’s recorded mileage of 40,250 was believed correct. It seemed exceptionally good value for its new owner at £3,900. The Bentley R-Type 4-door saloon featured elegant coachwork by James Young, finished in dark blue over Old English White and with its original grey hide upholstery. -

There are more than 31 million vehicles on UK roads and each one that’s more than three years old requires an Mo T.

But up until now VOSA has declined to supply this information to the public, even though it ultimately belongs to us, the public. -

Was 1959 the greatest British motor show? 10 Nov 2014 (News)
When Ford launched the 105E the old Anglia 100E was stripped of its luxuries and rebadged as the Popular. It’s lines were pure 1953, its side valve engine was best described as ‘venerable’ and the level of trim was miserable even by 1959 economy car standards (the base model had an interior light on the optional extras list) but it was ‘a real car’. -
Outrage at plans for £4500 a year ‘modern classic tax’ in the capital 18 Jun 2018 (News)
That would bring the price of owning a classic car in the capital up to almost £4500 a year before the cost of fuel, tax and insurance. While the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs (FBHVC) has campaigned hard to ensure owners of Vehicles of Historic Interest get dispensation under the new rules, any exemption will only apply to cars that are 40 years old or more - putting thousands of Eighties, Nineties and 21 st century classics at risk. -

One-owner for reliability and value for money Depending on the budget, BCA advises buyers to look for one-owner, direct-entered cars from fleets and leasing companies. Typically around three-years-old, these cars will have been well-serviced during their working life and represent excellent value for money. Dealer part-exchange cars can also offer good value, with a range of older cars for those on a tighter budget.The 1990s modern classics that are fast disappearing from Britain's roads 22 Dec 2017 (News)
There are several reasons, but one of the biggest is the 2009-10 scrappage scheme.

It’s a funny time in the used car trade. Demand for convertibles is up, as usual, but punters are generally very wary of high insurance groups unless the car bearing them comes with a lot of status attached. Middle of the road stuff is flat one day, selling the next, so still being bought but with a degree of caution.Topless Appearance at Auction Today 2 Jul 2003 (News)
Not even for a fiver. Poor little thing. As for TwoJags 90G Sovereign 4.0 litre, it didn’t sell. The car had quite a chequered history having been an Irish import previously registered ‘TIW 5331’ and re-registered ‘G355AVL’ in 1996 as a ‘five door hatchback’. Its 86k miles were unwarranted.
