  Classic concept cars celebrated at British Motor Museum exhibition 29 Jul 2019 (News)
  There was also an engine governor to control the car's speed and a radar unit that would detect cars ahead and adjust the XL90's speed accordingly. Sound familiar? It also looks familar with a definitely flavour of the modern MPV design that found popularity with the Renault Espace. Like many cars today, the Triumph XL90 used plastic panels.

  . Our understanding is that the final version of the draft has not been agreed fully, but in principle there will be three categories. Category B: This vehicle is not suitable for repair and must be crushed. Category S: This vehicle has sustained structural damage but is suitable for repair. Category N: This vehicle has sustained no structural damage and is suitable for repair. Can I retain the salvage of my van?

  Auction results: E-type is top of the lots at Brightwells sale 2 Oct 2017 (News)
  A restored 1966 Mini Cooper S MkI which was so spartan it didn’t even have wind-up windows fetched an impressive £35,200. Which was about £34,500 more than it cost its first owner 50 years ago. Meanwhile, a 1990 Mini City E Automatic that had travelled less than 12,000 miles in the hands of one lady owner, also fetched a top estimate £8800.

  Five Grand Friday: Chrysler 300C 21 Aug 2015 (News)
  They may not look as sporty but they provide a better ride and you're less likely to kerb them. The reason the ride quality of the 300C was so good was that it used a combination of Mercedes S-Class and E-Class suspension. So what to look out for? Well there's nothing serious. The tyre pressure monitoring system valves are prone to failure due to corrosion but this is easily prevented by fitting plastic instead of metal valve caps.

  Curios: Rover Prestige, by Wood & Pickett 28 Feb 2014 (News)
  The Prestige’s other remarkable feature was its enormous walnut-fronted dashboard, complemented by inlaid walnut door cappings. It is well-documented that many people did not take to the SD1′s original minimalist dashboard design, and this £560 option was Wood & Pickett’s attempt at something a little more traditional. While some felt that its height was likely to induce a feeling of claustrophobia, it did at least look impressive, and provided an additional storage locker on the passenger’s side.

  Astonishing variety of cars lined up for Cholmondeley Pagaent of Power 25 May 2011 (News)
  Although the 458 GT3 is racing in the 2011 British GT Championship, there won't get a better chance to get close to the car than at the Cholmondeley Pageant. One of the most famous periods for endurance racing was mid-1960s, when Ferrari and Ford fought for supremacy. A Ford GT40 race car from that era will be taking to the Cholmondeley circuit throughout the weekend, participating in the same Sports Racing Car class as the Ferrari 330 P3. Other legendary endurance racers making an appearance include the Porsche 917K in Gulf colours, and the Bentley Speed 8 which won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2003.

  Castle Combe Racing on Live TV 2nd May 21 Apr 2011 (News)
  Nevertheless, with two races for each of the circuit's home grown championships for saloons, Sports & GT cars and Formula Fords, there will need to be a delicate balance in the first races between car preservation and ultimate pace. With the last meeting just seven days previous, some of the teams will already have been burning the candle at both ends to bring their machines back to full health, so expect to see a few tired looking mechanics in the paddock.
