  Classic Italian Car Auction in April 11 Mar 2009 (News)
  Frederic S Bennett and the Dewar Trophy In 1907 Cadillac sales worldwide were falling dramatically. Frederic S Bennett, who had imported the first Cadillac into the UK, and gained early fame when he drove that 1903 car in an eight-day, 1,000 mile reliability trial, decided to demonstrate the marque’s potential by entering Cadillac for the Dewar Trophy, the prestigious award for innovation in motor car manufacture which has been awarded just 38 times in 102 years.

  Top Cars Topple as Stock Market Falls 30 Sep 2002 (News)
  To hype-a-market, the first requirement is people with too much money and the confidence to spend it on expensive cars in short supply. Two weeks ago three bidders fought each other to buy a 52 reg imported very high spec BMW X5 3.0D Sport auto with the winner paying £46,750. But today they just weren’t there, so its identical spec sister car started at £40,000, bid to ‘£43,000’ provisionally and didn’t sell.

  Curios: Modified London taxis 24 Jan 2014 (News)
  Quite what the PCO would have made of it, however, is anyone’s guess… When production of the Yœga ceased, Mitsuoka became the official Japanese importer and distributor for the TX1′s replacement, the TXII, which used the Ford DuraTorq engine in place of TX1′s Nissan unit.

  Audi Voted Most Reliable Fleet Car 15 Nov 2013 (News)
  Analysts have said the strategy isn't without risk and could expose VW to the threat of massive recalls if a single part, used in millions of cars, fails. China's quality watchdog said the recalls will include VW's imported cars, such as Scirocco, Golf Variant, Golf Cabriolet and the Beetle, as well as those made at its two Chinese joint ventures with FAW (

  BCA Warns Against Pimping Your Ride 30 May 2012 (News)
  Overall, most used car buyers are happy with a CD/Radio unit that works, and are not concerned about having state of the art equipment delivering crystal clear clarity at 99+ decibels. MP3 compatibility is increasingly important and buyers again like integral factory-fitted systems. No increase in value, but might make the car more saleable to the right buyer. Tim Naylor concludes, “Before adding any retro-fitted extras, sellers should take into account that used car buyers, as group, have traditionally had very conservative tastes so any additions should be carefully considered. While you may fancy lowered suspension, tinted windows and some fancy paintwork, it could cost more than you bargained for when it comes to reselling the vehicle.” More at www.british-car-auctions.co.uk

  Spotted in the classifieds: First cars below £1000 23 Nov 2011 (News)
  While the 12V engine might be fairly cheap to maintain, it is prone to exhaust failure, and as with any cars of this age it’s important to check for rust, damage, and worn out components like suspension. On the bright side, the Corsa 1.0-litre 12V is abundant and cheap – a 2000 X-reg, 80,000 mile model with a fresh service and MOT can be had for less than £1000.

  Endurance Racing at Castle Combe 23rd/24th July 14 Jul 2011 (News)
  His nearest opponent is likely to be Steven Jensen from Saltford in the Spectrum 011 run by the Gloucester based Kevin Mills Racing team, although the returning Felix Fisher from Bridgwater could be a problem, especially as outright pace is more important to him than points, given his only occasional appearances in the championship this year. Other class A drivers to keep an eye on include Jensen's team mate, Roger Orgee from Langford, in the Van Diemen RF00 and former champion, Ed Moore from Melksham, in the recalcitrant Ray GR11.

  eBay Auction Report 24th October 2006 25 Oct 2006 (News)
  However, the vendor claimed that he bought the example he was selling after an extensive search primarily because it was registered in the UK as a new car. Inferring from this that it was a new car imported without being used elsewhere means that there was someone in the early nineties who certainly had their eye on the world car scene and had the money to dabble in it. The car in question was a 4.0 litre SC400 Limited on a 92K with 118k miles and aftermarket wheels.

  BCA Pulse June 2010: Markets calm in June, but pressure remains 14 Jul 2010 (News)
  However, demand is far from flat, it's just more selective than it has been and that means presentation and condition becomes increasingly important. Buyers are competing strongly for cars in ready to retail condition and therefore sellers are advised to appraise their vehicles carefully and consider rectifying any cosmetic damage prior to sale."
