  Classic advert: Snow-racing Volvos 22 Dec 2015 (News)
  What’s the best transport when there’s deep snow around? A 4x4, of course. Or maybe a lightweight front-wheel drive car. What you definitely wouldn’t choose is a big, heavy, rear-drive saloon. Oh no, that’d be silly... But not according to Volvo. By some miracle of engineering, Volvo’s bigwigs of the 1980s managed to make the stalwart 240 and newbie 740 ranges brilliantly capable in the snowiest conditions of Scandinavia.

  The first Volkswagen Passat hit the streets in July 1973, and - along with the original Scirocco and Golf - heralded a water-cooled front-wheel drive future for its maker, finally shaking off the long shadow that had been cast by the Beetle since before WW2.

  Second Preview Brightwells Classic Car Auction, Leominster, Wednesday 26th November 18 Nov 2014 (News)
  This one has the 80PS 1,679cc Bosch D-Jetronic fuel injection (like my mate’s car), but the model was the last new air cooled rear engined VW before the K70 and the Mk 1 Golf took Volkswagen into front wheel drive. Brightwell’s RHD 412LE has only 8,137 miles so must be unique.
