  November recall round up: Fires and hacking 1 Dec 2015 (News)
  The affected engine variant is not listed but, as with all recalls in this list, owners will be contacted. There is also a separate recall for the S-Class Hybrid. The internal-combustion engine may not restart automatically, though it can be restarted manually by turning the ignition off and on. A software update is required to fix the issue.  More than 1000 Porsche Macan models are being recalled because of a potential fuel leak.

  Historic Rally Cars at Cholmondeley Pageant 17 Jun 2011 (News)
  Thankfully the 205 T16 EVO running at the Pageant will have no such restrictions. In a similar vein to the Peugeot 205 T16, the Metro 6R4's diminutive shape hides a potent 3.0-litre V6 engine with upwards of 350bhp. Despite the 6R4 never achieving the success of some of its counterparts, its diminutive shape and knife-edge handling made a lasting impression on Group B, while its bespoke 3.0-litre V6 engine went on to even greater things.

  Barons Classic Jaguar Auction results 30 Apr 2010 (News)
    The top-selling ‘big cat’ was the fine 1974 E-type S3 Roadster   (£43,594), followed by an elegant 1948 3.5 Saloon (£43,420) and a very   well presented pair of late 1950’s XK150s, a 1958 DHC (£39,124) and a   1959 FHC (£36,330).   Other notable Jaguar results included the registration number ‘ET 38’,   which sold for £13,689 and is now on its way to grace, presumably,   either an E-type or the car of a sci-fi fan.

  Top Car End of Year Clearance Today 9 Dec 2002 (News)
  A Blackbushe bidder bought it for £51,000. On the other hand, you don’t need to pay through the nose-cone to get into an S Class. Sure the 27k mile 2001Y S320CDI wasn’t cheap, selling for £34,500 to a gentleman from the Middle East. Nor was a 73k mile 2000X S320L with a walnut worktable in the back at £28,000.

  Volkswagen looks to shake up electric SUV market with new ID.4 3 Mar 2020 (News)
  .  Volkswagen hasn't released any pricing information for the ID.4, but it will command a significant premium over the ID.3's £27,000 starting price. All versions will get LED tail and headlights as standard. A fully digital driver's display will also be fitted, with a customisable instrument binnacle. Like the ID.3, the crossover version will get a 10-inch central mounted infotainment touchscreen while the absence of a transmission tunnel should boost legroom and allow the ID.4 to transport four large adults in comfort.

  A Grand Monday: Nissan Micra K11 Twister 15 Oct 2018 (News)
  Apart from a bit of sill corrosion - they all do that, sir - the K11 is an indestructible little thing - chain driven cam, lively 16v engines and comically fun handling all coming together to make it a fine supermini. But despite being far hardier than many of its rivals, the K11's survival numbers will ultimately be tiny, with takeaway owners and oval racers fighting to get their hands on the best of the survivors. This example , then, deserves to be preserved away from such willful abuse.

  Timewarp Mercedes SL for sale 23 Mar 2017 (News)
  First launched in 1971, the R107 became the German carmaker's second longest running production model of all time. Based on the W114 saloon, but with engines from the larger and more powerful S-class, the R107 combined speed, refinement, safety, and style, and was famously over-engineered. Today, it is one of the most desirable classics on the market. The car features a 242bhp 5.0-litre V8 and has a host of options including ‘Tempomat’ cruise control, air conditioning, green-tinted sun-deflecting glass, heated seats and a separate hard top.

  Supersonic car to take centre stage at NEC show 17 Oct 2016 (News)
  Measuring 12.5 metres long and three metres in height, the car uses a Eurofighter Typhoon jet engine, a cluster of hybrid rockets and a Jaguar V8 to drive its rocket fuel pump. Also on the stand will be two former police cars – a Morris Minor Panda car and an S-type Jaguar. There will also be a Jensen 541R and a Hudson Straight 8 Special, which is one of only two 1939 models made at the Acton plant before the factory was recommissioned as a munitions factory.

  Britain's last 'BL' dealership to close 6 Feb 2014 (News)
  The signage harks back to when Derek J Ketteringham Motors was an Austin Rover dealer and makes a great backdrop for the cars, which include a pair of 1989 Rover 800s, a 1995 Rover 100, Fiat Regata, Vauxhall Cavalier Mk3 2.5 V6, Peugeot 205 CTi, Audi 90 and Vauxhall Carlton Estate. Even the newer, more humdrum MG Rovers can spring the odd surprise – one S-registered 216Si had 16,000 miles on the clock and still smelled new inside. If you’re interested in enquiring about a car, please get in touch first, preferably via the email address, djketteringham@gmail.com – all prices are ‘sympathetically negotiable.’

  Mercedes-Benz R-Class withdrawn from the UK market 27 Sep 2013 (News)
  The super-sized MPV-cum-4x4 crossover with room for seven has become an increasingly niche choice in a luxury sector that continues to be dominated by more conventionbal saloons, as epitomised by the Mercedes-Benz S-Class or Audi A8. In his 2006 review , Honest John amusingly summarised: 'Another day, another massive Mercedes-Benz.
