  Report: Peking to Paris, day 30 27 Jun 2013 (News)
  On the hill climb this morning, damp and misty, greasy gravel, lots of hairpins between pine trees… Gerry Crown pushes the Leyland up to the café for breakfast at the summit in 5 minutes 50, Peter Lovett again sets fastest time in 5:28, and the yellow Holden pick-up thunders up in 5:49 – these three are the only ones to break six minutes – with Paul Kirkham in the Datsun on 6:02. In the Vintageants, and before his later water pump dramas Bill Cleyndert stormed the Ford A up the hill in 6:31, Phil Garratt in the Chevy was on 7:18, Lars Rolner was going well in his Bentley on 7:33. Bruce Washington was on a charge in the Chrysler, romping up in 7:12, with Tony Strelzow was on 7:15 and Mike Reeves in the Ford V8 on 7:21.

  Suzuki Jimny will remain on sale 'in very limited numbers' 24 Jan 2020 (News)
  It's also resulted in price increases for some vehicles in order to counter the penalties. Suzuki has recently introduced 48V mild-hybrid technology on its Swift Sport, Vitara and S-Cross models in order to improve its fleet emissions - but the Jimny, with its WLTP CO2 emissions of 178g/km (190g/km for the auto), skews the brand's average. While some media outlets are reporting that the Jimny will be removed from sale in the UK, Suzuki has said that the model will remain on sale in the UK in very limited numbers throughout 2020.

You may find a 991.2 GT2 RS road car in racing yellow alongside the yellow 911 S/T driven by Gerard Larrousse on the Tour de France to third place in 1970; next to the 1995 BPR World Championship winning 993 GT2. Paul Geudon, founder of Rennsport Collective, said, 'Born out of a lifelong passion for all things Porsche, the Rennsport Collective is a group like no other.

  A Grand Monday: Mercedes-Benz C240 Sport 5 Nov 2018 (News)
  The 'W202' generation of C-Class may have been a far more agile and arguably more handsome car, but it lacked the 'W201' 190's cockroach-like resilience to destruction. Indeed, a few years of salty winter roads were enough to see W202 C-Classes erupting into rust-riddled acne, which was enough to trigger a service action from Mercedes to replace rusted panels under warranty.

  A Grand Monday: Rover 200 Cabriolet SE 30 Apr 2018 (News)
  It’s finished in Pearlescent Amaranth, a metallic purple hue offered by Rover Group for just three years in the mid-1990s. It’s a bold and striking colour, and in our view it sets off the R8’s wedge-shaped lines beautifully. With a low mileage of just 64,000 and almost a year’s MoT, it’s as fit as the proverbial fiddle, and should we ever get a summer that lasts more than three days, it’s a perfect occasional-use classic.

  Ultimate barnfind Aston Martin team car is top seller at Goodwood 28 Jun 2016 (News)

  Buying a car? New Volvo given prize 11 Dec 2009 (News)
  The latest offering from the Swedish manufacturer has seen off stiff competition to scoop this year's Green Car of the Year award, as voted for by TheGreenCareWebsite.co.uk. The judging panel were particularly impressed by the C30's fuel efficiency, with its rate of emissions of 99 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometre helping it to come above the Toyota Prius in the green motoring league. Furthermore, the fuel consumption rate of 74.3mpg, as well as the fact that Volvo has not compromised on style or comfort, makes the model "a deserved winner" and a smart choice for consumers buying a used car and looking to keep costs and their environmental footprint at a minimum.
