Adding salt to the wound for selling it we throw in our approximate valuation. Some may find this too distressing to continue. You have been warned!
Taking a look at how car designs have altered from the 1950s to 2023 around the world. We ask: are design changes different for each country or is there consistency? Can you identify a French vehicle from an Italian or Japanese one and if so does it mean that designs […]

The Vauxhall Carlton is for many a milestone classic as it gave birth to the Lotus Carlton. A four-door saloon capable of 177 mph and 0-60 in 5.0 secs and 0-100 mph in 10.6 secs. This storming motor captured the imagination of millions including the UK government which wanted it […]
Powered by the in-line 6 Triumph 2000 engine producing 104 bhp. The Bond offered 100 mph performance with a 0-60 in 12.5 secs. In 1971 the convertible was priced at £1,305. Rivals were Crayford Cortina Convertible GT £1,312; Triumph Vitesse 2-litre MK2 convertible £1,049. This distinctive four-seater failed to attract […]
The Vauxhall Victor was a mainstay of the Vauxhall family saloon between 1957 and 1978. Always well-priced it offered reasonable performance, economy, and practicality to the mass market. Styles varied quite considerably over the years moving from the American influence of rear fins with the Victor FA to the boxy […]

I had the pleasure of owning more than one Celica and have to confess I loved the car for its interior being such a nice place to be. Remember this was a 1976 car and yet the style inside was compared to a Ford Escort or any other British make […]
The Mazda RX-8 might arguably be considered an icon because of its Wankel Rotary engine. The engine equates to 1304cc per rotor so with two rotors at its disposal the car is assessed as having 2616cc. However, there’s much more to this motor than simply an unusual engine. To my […]
The 2002 Honda Accord Coupe 2.0i has always been an eye-catcher for me. It’s a sleek design that used the Accord 4-door saloon as a base converted into a two-door. I think it works well and certainly turns heads even today. Possibly because you don’t see too many of them […]
Late ’70s Mazda gave us the RX-7 a small rear-wheel drive rotary engine sports car. A stunning little motor at the time and a 2 + 2. However, the rear seats were not for large adults but folded flat with the floor to provide quite a decent boot space. A […]
