  Test Drive an SL65 Black This Weekend 20 Feb 2009 (News)
  The car’s wide cooling air apertures in the front apron and the bonnet are the clearest indication of the massive power of the AMG twelve-cylinder, biturbocharged engine. From its 5980 cubic capacity, the AMG V12's engine generates a maximum power of 670 hp at 5400 rpm and an electronically limited torque of 1000 Nm between 2200 and 4200 rpm. Without a limiter, the AMG 6.0 litre V12 biturbo engine, which is hand-built in the AMG engine factory in accordance with the "one man – one engine" philosophy, would achieve a maximum torque of 1200 Nm.

  £850 Vectra at Auction Today 25 Jan 2002 (News)
  A well known honest trader had to fight like mad to secure another C Class, this one the much wanted C250TD auto with 72,000 miles on an early S plate, and had to pay £9,900 to secure it. He also had to pay £7,700 for a metallic blue 13,000 mile 2000X Peugeot 206 1.4GLX 5-door with aircon. A fair selection of faults (see car by car breakdown) hasn't stopped these pretty little cars being much wanted by younger women.

  Auction Prices Begin to Rise 30 Nov 2001 (News)
  This 17,000 mile eight month old Y reg car started at £19,000 and bid to £20,200 which was deemed not enough even though the new price is only £22,960. A pair of 3.0 V6 S-Type Jags bid to £18,600 for the 2000W automatic with 33,000 miles and £15,300 for the 2000W manual with 22,000 miles and a very badly repainted front nearside wing and valence. It would have been worth the vendor's while to spend money on a proper repair instead of a bodge.

It also seemed that the auction attendance was down with plenty of room left in the carpark, so these two will live to bid higher on another day.

  Future Classic: Vauxhall Astra VXR Nurburgring 2 Mar 2016 (News)
  Vauxhall’s moment of glory didn’t last long however and, just as in the sales charts, the Astra was soon beaten by the Ford Focus.
