  A Grand Monday: Audi 100 17 Apr 2017 (News)
  Its drag co-efficient of 0.30 was by far and away the best in its class, giving it excellent refinement, fuel economy and high-speed performance. The angular nose sliced through wind resistance, while the biggest innovation was the 100's use of flush-fitting glass, a feature adopted by practically every car manufacturer since. Take a look at it again.

  A Grand Monday: Fiat Cinquecento 7 Nov 2016 (News)
  The displacement was later adjusted to 899cc to suit tax regulations in some of the Cinquecento’s key markets, though the basic design of the powerplant remained unchanged. This 1996 Fiat Cinquecento S is one such example, being one of the last Cinquecentos built before it was replaced by the Seicento (600) in early 1997. The car has covered just 33,500 miles in 20 years, an average of only 1675 miles a year, and is being sold with a full 12-month's MoT.

  A Grand Monday: Triumph Toledo 24 Mar 2014 (News)
  What made the Toledo particularly interesting was that it used the front-wheel-drive 1500 (nee 1300)’s body with a shorter nose and tail, and a less plush interior - designed to take over where the old Herald 13/60 left off. It was effective and typically nice to drive - and would end up donating its rear-wheel drive underpinnings to the 1500TC, Dolomite and Dolomite Sprint.
