If a "special" metallic paint is £30k extra rrp, it's scary to think how much these bespoke paint jobs are. Bringing the entry point so much higher, the depreciation will only be worse. Maybe it helps, but not sure if that was the trick that was missing to make people queue for a new maserati...

Collected from service and ready for the summer ☀️

While my QPIV is in for an annual service, I ve spent some time driving around Athens today on my dad's newly acquired 05 reg R53 Cooper S. He purchased it a month ago or so and drives very well having done 60k miles from new and just back from service. It's the first "new" mini I've been in let...

Indeed, if that's the case it's such a pity to ruin such a rare a time wrap.

Timing belt snap?

It sounds good in principle but not sure if at all doable. Ferrari 296 which is a small -ish phev car with all exotic materials someone would expect and that weighs c. 1700kg. Besides for smaller car than a Ghibli Stelantis offering is with Alfa Romeo.

Glad to see a110 takeup rate here going up. Congratulations

That reclining front number plate is really cool
