  Handbooks Help 93% of Drivers 9 Aug 2008 (News)
  From the thousands of responses Peugeot received, 83.1% said they would want car manufacturers to stick to the traditional car handbook rather than see it transferred online, and stressed the importance of having it handy in their vehicles. “What we found most interesting about our handbook survey is that our customers learnt the most about the features of their car they didn’t know they had, from its handbook. 79% indicated that had they not read their handbook, these features would have gone unnoticed,” said Andy Bye, Director – Quality at Peugeot.

  Used Car Values Crash in June 25 Jul 2008 (News)
  BCA Communications Director Tony Gannon commented “It is no surprise to see values under pressure in Quarter 2 – we have seen average prices fall in the same period in previous years, although not as far or as fast. What is more important now is seeing if the market will bounce back in quarter three as it has in previous years. This makes next quarter’s Index figure critical for industry watchers hoping to predict the medium to long-term prospects for used car values – and by inference – used car demand.

  Topless Appearance at Auction Today 2 Jul 2003 (News)
  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. Bidding began at £1,000 and died at £3,000.

  Ford Motor Company (England) Limited was founded in March 1911 as a separate company to oversee what was considered to be the most important market for Ford outside of the USA. Since then the UK has had an affinity for Fords. For the past 37 years a Ford model has topped the sales charts, so it’s quite likely you have some affection for an old model, whether because you learnt to drive in it, or because your Dad used to have one.

  1954 Austin Healey 5.7 V8 in Historics 2nd March Classic Car Auction 25 Feb 2019 (News)
  Nevertheless, Healey Chevrolets were often seen at British speed hillclimbs in the 1960s, sometimes jacked up between runs while their owners changed the spark plugs via the front wheelarches (they wouldn't have had that problem with a Chrysler hemi). This particular car was imported from the USA in 2011, underwent a ground up restoration, was fitted with a 5-speed Tremec manual transmission and a Ford 9-inch diff. It looks stunning in Shelby colours and on a set of drilled steel knock-on wheels.
