  Curios: Triumph Lynx 9 May 2014 (News)
  .  In engineering terms, the Lynx was straightforward - combining much thinking from the SD1 and the TR7, and also offering an intriguing insight to what lay beneath the planned Dolomite-replacing Triumph SD2. It was based on the TR7's platform, but had its wheelbase extended by a full 12-inches, while longer passenger doors were incorporated in order to balance the side view of the car and give good access to the rear seats. Development of the Lynx was stepped up, following commencement of TR7 production in September 1974 and the Lynx was beginning to look like an appealing addition to the range, to fight cars such as the Ford Capri.

  Golf IVs are coming off the boil. A 63k mile 98S 1.6S sold for £4,000. A slightly scruffy silver 51k mile 2000X 1.9TDI 90 S estate was a blinding buy at £3,900. An 80k mile Y reg Golf GTI 1.8T sold for £6,300. And a 79k mile 2001/51 Golf V5 170 was far from silly money either at a top bid of £5,800. Need a good, fairly recent 4x4?

  Heavy Metal at Blackbushe Today 6 Sep 2004 (News)
  We’ll forget the lottery winner’s Peugeot 106 Independence, possibly part-exchanged for a Boxster S, and concentrate on the 10k mile 11 month old M3 CSL SMG, a car which listed at more than £55k when new and, as far as I can remember, you had to be a licensed racing driver to get the speed limiter removed.
