  A Grand Monday: Volkswagen Polo 'Breadvan' 12 Dec 2016 (News)
  Of course, for a car in which nothing in life was as reliable, there was a price to pay. Although it was pitched at the likes of the Ford Fiesta and Austin Metro price-wise, the Polo was stingily specified. Wind-down windows, a basic dash with simple LED warning lamps, no radio and rubber floor covering on all but the top models were acceptable concessions, but the lack of a brake servo (not rectified until the model range received an overdue facelift in 1991) was not.

  Happy Birthday: M25 2 Nov 2016 (News)
    Or could it be the memories of family holidays as an older boy, crossing the Dartford Bridge for the first time en route to driving holidays across France in my dad’s Ford Sierra? Then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher officially opens the M25 at Radlett, Hertfordshire, in 1986.

  Bumper Classic Auction Weekend at the NEC on 15th/16th November 10 Nov 2014 (News)
  This 1950 Ford F2 flathead V8 pick-up arrived in the UK in 2011 and has had more than £20,000 spent on a ground up restoration. So it’s a bargain at the estimated £15,000 - £18,000. The 1989 De Tomaso Mangusta is back at a more conservative estimate of £180,000 - £200,000, having failed to sell at Historics on 30 th August for a top (provisional) bid of £204,000.

  Rover: The rise and fall of a British icon 16 Oct 2014 (News)
  Rover still exists ‘on paper’, of course, owned these days by Jaguar Land Rover. Previous JLR owner Ford acquired all rights to Rover in 2006, passed on to TATA two years later when the Indian giant bought JLR. However, the chances of ever seeing another new car badged as a Rover are slim in the extreme, as TATA focuses its saloon ambitions on expanding the Jaguar line-up.

  A rugged winter weather solution - Lada Niva 1 Sep 2011 (News)
  The problem with 4x4s is that they’re expensive – many manufacturers build a crossover SUV, like the Nissan Juke or the Ford Kuga , but to get a four-wheel drive version there’s a premium over the two-wheel drive model. Luckily, if you’re after a new car that’s useable in the most extreme conditions but you’re not willing to pay a premium for it, there’s a solution, and it comes from Russia, where vehicles need to be rugged and tough to survive.

  The company dates back to 1965, when Gurney and Carroll Shelby – who were already involved in a successful relationship as driver and team owner respectively of Shelby Cobras and Shelby Fords – joined forces to establish a new race car manufacturing company, which became known for its highly competitive Eagle racers.
