  Hidden Heroes: Volvo 440 Turbo 5 Jul 2019 (News)
  .  Today, though, the 440 Turbo is largely forgotten, as indeed is the rest of Volvo’s mid-size model range. So, as well as being something s bit different, the 440 Turbo has acquired a kind of retro coolness to it that makes the surviving examples surprisingly sought after.  The difficulty there, though, will be finding one. At the end of 2018, a total of just nine 440 Turbos were still registered on the UK’s roads.

  A Grand Monday: Rover 45 CVT 1 Oct 2018 (News)
  WXXX LDA registrations were the very first batch of press and marketing cars registered by Rover Group at the time of the car's debut, but the press launch was largely overshadowed by questions around the company's future, meaning a lot of the 45's finer points were lost in a sea of debate about where Rover was heading next. As a result, many pundits failed to notice the model's newly conceived CVT automatic transmission, or the cabin improvements that involved the installation of the sumptuous seats from the 75.

  A Grand Monday: Fiat Cinquecento 7 Nov 2016 (News)
