  Rare SS1 Tourer to Star in Barons 7th December Auction 10 Nov 2010 (News)
  Classic cars are often described as being in ‘original’ condition, but the ‘time capsule’ 1970 Mk1 Ford Escort on offer really merits that description. It was bought new in the summer of 1970, but sadly the purchaser died just few weeks later. The car was garaged until 1974, when the original owner’s widow passed her driving test.

  Outrage at plans for £4500 a year ‘modern classic tax’ in the capital 18 Jun 2018 (News)
  'Surely it would make more sense to keep well maintained older vehicles on the road rather than keep producing new vehicles which have a shelf life of approximate 10-15 years max before being scrapped and replaced. 'The Government were the ones who encouraged people to buy these vehicles, especially diesels, and are now penalising them for doing so through the RFL system and the ULEZ.'
