This fascinating, wonderful and rare beast has just popped up on my eBay feed, and I find myself doing some man maths in order to add it to my collection […]
Mike Humble Once a doyen of the remanufactured engine industry, Unipart in automotive guise has now sadly left this parish to join the great defunct names of old but imagine […]
Craig Cheetham Well, if the ‘is it or isn’t it?’ Maestro pick-up isn’t enough light commercial action for one week, then you might need to go and lie down in […]
Craig Cheetham Every so often, a car turns up that, for some reason, has never really seen the light of day. The 82-miles-from-new Triumph Dolomite, which we featured on here […]
Craig Cheetham One of the most unusual Mini variants is currently up for sale on eBay, even if it does look a lot like a squashed Allegro (despite predating the […]
Mike Humble Well, when looking at this little doom blue Morris Ital 1.7 SLX for the first time, I thought “wow… that’s steep” but, after a little pondering and reminiscing about my own […]
Craig Cheetham If it weren’t for time, space and money, I’d have probably bought at least 50 cars already this year (I also say that every year, but hey). Irrespective of […]
Craig Cheetham Thanks to AROnline reader Matthew Cooper for finding this one… The better part of £2,600 might seem like quite a lot of cash for a 12-year old Rover […]
Craig Cheetham A collection of rare engineering blueprints for all generations of the Austin-Rover Metro, plus its stillborn Indonesian spin-off and a proposed Zagato-styled saloon variant of the Rover 100, have […]

Craig Cheetham ANSWER: When it’s a Metruck… While I’d never be 100 per cent convinced of the structural integrity of such a thing, this interesting homemade venture appealed to me […]
Craig Cheetham Here’s an indicator of how times change – and, hopefully, for the better… Back in the day, this MG Metro Turbo would have been pretty worthless other than for […]
Chris Chapman Thanks to AROnline reader Chris Chapman for this week’s rather quirky discovery, which puts a whole new slant on the concept of grey imports… When is a […]
Craig Cheetham I stumbled upon this bizarre listing earlier and it reminded me of my student days… At the time, I had a Pageant Blue Allegro 1.3 (which, of course, […]
Craig Cheetham A Rover 75 CDT with less than 100k on the clock for £295…? If I needed a cheap winter car right now, I wouldn’t be putting this up […]
Craig Cheetham Twice in a week? Well, I couldn’t let this one lie, really. Partly because there’s a lot of R8 love out there at the moment following its 25th […]
Craig Cheetham Okay – an old feature momentarily resurrected, because when a mate pointed this out to me I had to share my incredulity… I can’t decide if it’s the price, […]
Keith Adams Press launch cars tend to be the holy grail of cult classic cars – they’re appreciated by those who really know their cars. And as such can sometimes […]

Keith Adams Our friend, the eBay seller known as ‘The Doctor’, has this unerring habit of finding some of the cleanest, tidiest, lowest-mileage BL and Austin Rover-era cars known to […]
Keith Adams Here’s an interesting one. Well, when we say interesting, perhaps it’s more a case of scary. Whatever your opinions on the ‘Twini’ prototypes, it’s good to know that […]
Keith Adams Here’s a strange and yet compelling one to get your teeth into – a chrome and carbonfibre-wrapped Rover Metro Rio. Obviously, it’s going to be an acquired taste […]
