The result: fleet managers quickly switched allegiances from Ford. Looking at this video, it's easy to see why Vauxhall became such a major player during the 1980s... Enjoy the video.

  Driven: Mercedes-Benz X 350 d 4Matic 26 Feb 2019 (News)
  It's priced at £38,350 (excluding VAT) while a Volkswagen Amarok with the a more powerful V6 TDI starts at less - £35,790 (excluding VAT) in Highline Trim. However, it is cheaper than the new Ford Ranger Raptor. If you want the most luxurious pick-up with the best engine - this is the model to go for. It offers genuinely quick performance and sounds good too. We can really see the appeal if you're spending long hours behind the wheel.

One notable exception was just £7,850 bid for an 82k mile Y reg Audi TT 180 quattro, but maybe the dashboard had failed.
