There’s something about a well-preserved 1980s Vauxhall that really takes us back. And this 1986 Cavalier SRi, finished in its original Astral Silver and Anthracite two-tone paintwork, was a particularly appealing example. Just 48,304 miles showing, three previous owners, original dealer details and the distinctive appearance that made the SRi one of Vauxhall’s most recognisable […]

There was a time when a trip to the local motor spares shop could result in coming home with something you never knew you needed. Perhaps it was a new gear knob. A pair of auxiliary mirrors. One of those little bottles of Feu Orange air freshener. Or a gadget that promised to make driving [&...
We’ve watched thousands of cars go through auction halls over the years, but every now and then something arrives that really catches our attention. This 1993 Ford P100 was one of them. Not because it was particularly rare or expensive. But because of the extraordinary noise it made as it drove through Anglia Car Auctions. [&...
Britain’s historic motoring world is full of remarkable people. The restorers who spend years bringing forgotten machinery back to life. The volunteers keeping museums and collections running. The enthusiasts organising events, preserving records and making sure our motoring history isn’t lost. And the younger generation finding their own ways into a hobby that ...
Every now and then, a car appears in an auction catalogue that makes us stop scrolling. And this is definitely one of them. A 2004 Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM AMG. One of just 100 coupés ever built. A supercharged 5.4-litre V8 producing 582bhp. And an original owner who happens to be a Formula One World Champion. […]

Perhaps it’s the combination of traditional British roadster character and a wonderfully uncomplicated Rover V8. Or perhaps it’s simply that the RV8 represents a particularly interesting chapter in MG’s history. But when this 1993 ...
There was a time when you couldn’t travel very far on British roads without seeing a Ford Sierra. They were everywhere. On driveways. Outside schools. In supermarket car parks. And, of course, filling up the outside lane of the motorway. Company cars, family cars, everyday transport. But when did you last see a Sierra ...
Just 106 miles. That’s the astonishing distance showing on the odometer of this 1997 Ferrari F50, one of the most celebrated supercars ever produced. And now this remarkable example, originally delivered new in Britain, is preparing to cross the auction block in Las Vegas. Broad Arrow Auctions expects it to achieve more than $20 million […]
There was a time when Japanese manufacturers were building some extraordinary performance cars. Turbochargers, four-wheel drive, sophisticated engineering and a determination to win on the world’s rally stages. Some became legends. The Subaru Impreza Turbo. The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. The Toyota Celica GT-Four. And then there was this. The Mazda 323 GT-R. Remember it? We [&...
We’re constantly being told that the market for older classic cars is changing. Traditional British classics are supposedly falling out of favour, while anything wearing a Ford badge seems to attract increasingly enthusiastic buyers. Especially if it’s a Mk1 Escort. But something happened at Cheffins on Saturday 17 October 2026 that left us scratching our [&...
