  A Grand Monday: Porsche 924S 17 Feb 2014 (News)
  But the problem is that to all intents and purposes, the 2.5-litre 924S looks all-but identical to the 1984cc non-S model - and as we all know, the earlier car was a much inferior thing, thanks to tepid performance and average refinement. The arrival of the Turbo in 1979, and the wonderful Carrera GT addressed the former, but never really touched the latter.

  Report: Silverstone Auctions sale, Northamptonshire, 27 July 29 Jul 2013 (News)
  Top seller on the day was a 1965 Aston Martin DB5 (above), which sold for well above its upper estimate, fetching £373,750. Meanwhile a 1958 Jaguar XK 150 ‘S’ Roadster with a fascinating history and just 580 miles on the clock, sold for an amazing £201,250, one of the highest prices ever paid anywhere in the world for a car of its type. Other notable lots finding new homes included a rare 2005 Honda NSX Targa which sold for £80,500, a true piece of British automotive history – the ‘ Longbridge Tunnel’ Mini Clubman, which sold for £1610, and a beautiful 1967 Ford Lotus Cortina MkI fetching £38,525 – more than double its pre-sale estimate.

  Report: Beaulieu Autojumble 23 May 2013 (News)
  Jaguars were a Motormart mainstay, with a 1998 Jaguar Sovereign XJ8, which was a steal at an asking price of just £2000 and a 1987 Jaguar XJ-S selling at a very reasonable £14,950. The Walkabout Auction made a return. The auction offers an ‘end of show’ chance to buy and sell, giving exhibitors an opportunity to sell off surplus items of stock on the Sunday afternoon for just a £1.

  Ital Design Kensington 19 Apr 2013 (News)
  Giugiaro was careful to ensure that it featured prominent ‘haunches’, a design signature that was consistent on all post-war Jaguars, barring the XJ-S. Inside, too, there was enough wood and leather to satisfy the most plutocratic owner/driver, but it was presented in a much more contemporary style. Of course, the quad-headlamps were dropped, and that would have been controversial back in the 1990s – but again, as the XF and XJ have proved, it’s possible for a Jaguar to do without this feature.

  74 Year old BMW 320 Cabrio up for Auction on 19th July 10 Jul 2011 (News)
  Comparisons with the modern day equivalent end there however, with the 320 featuring an all-steel body built by Autenrieth in Darmstadt, leaf spring rear axle within a shortened wheelbase (to that of the Type 326), and a 1,971cc, 6 cylinder, single carburettor engine that generated 45hp to propel the elegant BMW to a top speed of some 71mph. Restored in the early 1990’s in Prague, Czech Republic, the car has covered just 113 miles since then, and alongside its immaculate dark green leather upholstery, features a matching BMW factory specification canvas hood. Complete with a Czech Historic Vehicle Passport, Czech registration document and photo file of the restoration, the sale on July 19 th represents an ideal opportunity to acquire a very rare pre-war German classic, and Historics anticipate offers in the region of £58,000 - £68,000 on Tuesday week at Brooklands Museum.
