Social spotlight 📱

Cars in the wild showcases this pop-art paint job, how cool do these cars look?

Car of the week 💰

This E30 M3 isn’t wholly original, but not far off and well kept by all accounts. It recently sold at Iconic Auctions and didn’t fetch anywhere near what I might have imagined - has the shine started to fade on the E30?

AutoAlex took a short hiatus following the Taylor drama earlier this year. Alex acknowledged a slip in quality and the need to take a break, they come back re-focussed and refreshed. This video features an all-star line-up of Alex, Ethan, The Stig and Tom Lenthall (+ his Jag project 8). Hopefully they get back to the top of their game.

Hot off the press 📰

You’ve seen Jimny’s modified to look like a G-Wagon, but have you seen a Jimny modified to look like the 6×6 G-Wagon? Probably not, unless you’ve seen this one-off creation. It was listed at a recent auction, but looks like it didn’t sell. There can’t be many people who have £45k+ to spend on what is basically a joke.

A big car from before cars were big. The Volvo 940 is around the same length as a modern Audi A6 estate, but can the Audi swallow up a sofa? They’re famous few chewing up the miles too, the majority of 940s currently advertised on Auto Trader have 6-figure mileages, and some begin with a 2. Impressive.
