  Wheel to Wheel Formula Ford Racing at Castle Combe on Monday 31 May 2012 (News)
  Longing to be unleashed in the dry is the mighty BMW E63 M6 of Vadabar M.D. Doug Watson from Blagdon, whilst going well in Watson's old BMW Z3 M Coupe is Bath's Angus Gorringe. Many of those cars will feature in the 'fun' 'Open Sports & GTs' race. Minis of the 'Super Mighty' and 'Mighty' variety should provide some 'edge of your seat' type racing.

  Scrapping Over the Scraps at Auction Today 2 Mar 2009 (News)
  With so many cars now being sucked out of the UK market into Ireland and other RHD counties due to the weakness of Sterling, prices here continue to escalate. Even the big supersites are finding themselves unable to source the numbers of cars they need for the right sort of money.

  Sure-Sell Charade makes £700 over book at auction today 14 Sep 2007 (News)
  Sure-Sell private sellers are telling me they are getting their cheques in a little as 3 days, too, without having to waste money on advertising and time fending off endless numbers of canvassers. Crucially, Group 1 insurance made this a decent first car for a 17 year old, though I’m not sure how many young lads would take to the Amethyst paint job. VWs were pricy too, today. But Hondas weren’t. A 96k mile 03 Accord 2.0SE sold for a sensible £4,100.

  Today’s Car Auction Bidding Calmer After First Week Buying Frenzy 15 Jan 2014 (News)
  For example, an 07 Ford KA Studio for just £1,075. On the other hand, £4,900 for a 53k mile 3 year old Fiesta 1.2 82PS Edge is bang on book, but it’s what you’d have paid last year for a 2 year old. (As usual, ‘s’ means sold. ‘p’ means top provisional bid, ‘pc’ means provisional, but close. ‘n/s’ means not sold. ‘n/w’ means miles not warranted. ‘MNW’ means unknown mileage. ‘dmg’ means damaged.

  Prices Generally Up at Auction Today 30 Jan 2009 (News)
  Fewer new cars now mean fewer used cars in the future and if demand for used cars holds up they can only get dearer, as they have before in the years following a slump. Some prime examples were £12,150 paid for a 16k mile 2007/57 MINI Cooper diesel, £6,000 for a 2,000 mile 08 reg Peugeot 107 Urban and even small Fords seem to have hopped on the elevator with £4,000 being paid for year old Kas and £5,050 for an 11k mile 2007/57 Fiesta 1.2 Style Climate.

  Mixed Fortunes at Auction Today 12 Feb 2007 (News)
  But instead the receiver sold all the bankrupt stock as a job lot to the big dealer group who had put the car though the auction where it sold for £9,700. Once again, with a few exceptions, the cheaper cars were expensive. At least a couple of 1998 Ford Kas were sensible at £800 and £925.

  SKYACTIV. The future of cars according to Mazda – Driven. 5 Jun 2011 (News)
  You only have to drive a 20-year-old car to realise how much better cars are today.   A Sierra felt pretty good in 1991. But compared to today’s Mondeo it feels almost prehistoric.   So what will tomorrow’s cars feel like?

  Auction Prices Now Close to Rock Bottom 14 Nov 2008 (News)
  Bids kicked off at just £12k, but then a bit of a battle ensued, and someone with an intimate knowledge of common rail diesel injection systems (or not) eventually bought it for £16k. The opposite extreme was a 2005/55 and therefore three-year-old Toyota Aygo 1.0 5-door with 26k miles. The car everyone now wants because it will be just £20 tax next year. That sold for a hefty £4,200, so had only lost about £1,000 a year. There will be a lot more de-fleeted 2005/55 reg cars over the next few weeks.

  Porsche 997 Sells on eBay for £63,700 26 Aug 2005 (News)
  In good condition and in steel grey it made £6,999. High mileage can really hammer a car’s value. The Renault Laguna may not have the best residuals of its class, but add 96k to the mileage in three years and you can pick up a silver 02/02 1.9 DCi Dynamique 5dr in good condition with a FSH for £4,450.

  04 MINI Cooper £7,800 at Auction Today 9 Aug 2006 (News)
  But don’t start thinking MINIs are getting cheaper. This one has done 77,000 miles. There were some cars going for reasonable money today, though. Like a 2002/51 Mercedes C220 CDI for just £6,050. And a 2003/53 S320CDI (less than 3 years old) for £18,400. But the cheap 03 Leon Cupra was no bargain.

  Auction Report Double Bill – eBay 8th May 2005 11 May 2005 (News)
  However, you would have had to stump up an extra £50 to get the Vectra 1.8LS with the neon washers. This was a 96P car with 4m MOT and 124k. One to watch The pearl blue Porsche 911 C4S Tiptronic (996) on a 99T with 55,000 miles stalled at £27,500.

  Rover P8 & P9 2 Aug 2013 (News)
  It was a straightforward decision for the company to pursue this single model programme because management at Rover had become convinced that the Solihull design team could only handle the development of one major new car at a time. With the decision made that that the new car should be a larger car than the P6, work began on developing a replacement. King himself did not want a larger car, and the desire to make the new car larger came from above: ‘I had a lot to do with the machine that went into P8 before it ever happened, and I didn’t ever want it to be as big a car as P8.

  Very Cheap Cars At Auction Today 21 May 2008 (News)
  Even an E90 BMW 318d ES with 61k miles only fetched £9,900. And top bid for a year old 10k mile E92 325iSE coupe was only £21,000, £2k short of trade book. But some traders are not yet fully aware of the retrospective CO2 taxing of everything from March 2001 that will see the tax on some cars more than double to £440.
