  The future classic cars killed by the scrappage scheme 30 Sep 2014 (News)
  No fewer than 45 examples of the Jaguar XJ-S, for example, were traded in and scrapped, as were 14 Porsche 944s, 18 BMW 6-Series, 88 Citroen 2CVs, 29 Peugeot 205 GTis and 22 Reliant Scimitars of various types. And if you’re wondering why there aren’t as many large saloons of the ’80s and ’90s on the roads as there used to be, it’s partly because the scrappage scheme saw the loss of 273 Saab 9000s, more than 700 Volvo 740s, 100-plus Ford Granadas and – amazingly – over a thousand Rover 600s.

  F1 engine builder Brian Hart dies aged 77 7 Jan 2014 (News)
  .  Toleman continued its partnership with Hart in 1985, with Teo Fabi claiming pole position at Nurburgring, but the team was transformed to Benetton in 1986 and ended its engine association in favour of BMW power. Hart continued to supply engines for Team Haas in 1985 and ’86, but ended his engine production in April when Haas folded after failing to qualify for the San Marino Grand Prix. Hart spent the rest of the 1980s and early ''90s servicing Cosworth F1 engines before making a surprise F1 return in 1993 with Jordan.
