Well, we’ve had a bit of behind-the-scenes discussion about the number of surviving Lancia Betas in the UK. Tony has correctly questioned my assertion that there are only 3 surviving Lancia Beta Berlinas. Upon […]

A few Stony Stratford cars evident, it is just up the road after all.

I love the 280TE cycle team bus, that’s brilliant, and great to see the Pontiac Parisienne still going, that’s a Bicester regular. […]

Much the same I expect, but it depends exactly where you live. At my house, all of the trees are bent over in the same direction and we have big rocks on the garage roof to stop it ending up in the field… :)

Like most rear engined cars, I’m led to believe they are a bit sensitive to crosswinds. Apparently a bag of cement in the front luggage compartment improves matters. Rootes did some wind tunnel testing and found […]

A lovely car, and not unreasonably priced given the current market. I’d want that seat bolster fixed though. The seat bolster did prompt me to check the mileage history online but (back to 2007 from when records […]

These best examples of these are surely the plastic bodied ones on a Datsun 240z chassis? No?

I recalled with interest in 2020 that Ares Design brought a case against Ferrari to challenge Ferrari’s retention of […]

Yes, a good reminder of when you rubbed the Stag-lickers up the wrong way without actually intending to :)

After last week’s controversy over the cost of a pint of beer, you’ll be glad to know I know nothing […]

As it happens, I have driven a HC Viva a few times, but with the 1256cc engine rather than the more potent Magnum version. Although the 1256cc is no tarmac melter, it’s quite a nice thing to drive and feels way […]

Strong money, I don’t think I’ve seen one go for that much before, but perhaps I’ve not been looking.

@Rob, what a lovely car, I’m sure it’ll be worth it in the end.

I can see your dilemma regarding Die Zitrone. Having gone to all that time and expense to get it up to standard, it would be hard to replace were you to ever suffer pangs of seller’s regret. But… I can’t see the […]

It’s pretty niche but I can see the appeal. A subtle spring drop and a set of period-ish Watanabe wheels would suit it nicely.

Consumer confidence is all, and it’s been a turbulent 24 hours in UK politics, even by the shambolic standards of the past 20 months. The pool of buyers willing to commit may well have been lower than usual. […]

£11,500 with two hours to go…

I see my favourite E9 press shot is included in the gallery again, complete with ABBA tribute act. The fake Agnetha looks very drunk.
