Our Cars

Keith’s Austin 1300 is soldiering on, but the desire to improve it is starting to surface… A change in the weather allowed me to grab the Austin 1300’s keys, pull […]

I can’t pretend it’s not been a long, dark winter – what with a bout of COVID-19 over Christmas, various family isolation periods, and a sense that those long nights […]

Our man in the USA, Richard Truett, has picked up a new car – it’s a Rover 220 Tomcat that’s a former AROnline Car of The Month. Here’s the story […]

Winter’s coming, but Keith’s been putting some miles on his Austin 1300… The BMC 1100/1300 was one of the UK’s best-selling cars for much of the 1960s and well into […]

It popped up on my social media feed that I’ve owned this car for two years now! Anyone who knows me will tell you that I rarely keep cars very […]

Another month, another new motor. And this one’s a bit special, as it’s a reasonable example of a car I’ve wanted for as long as I can remember. In fact, […]

At first glance, a comparison between the brilliant Nissan Primera and the highly-developed Montego looks like a one-horse race.  However, as the owner of these two cars, Neil Turner, explains […]

Meanwhile, down in the south, AROnline’s other Rover 75 project receives some good old-fashioned fettling.  Mike Humble tells all…  Rather akin to what Keith posted recently, my own account of the […]

Hello to the first update of my Rover 75 Tourer running reports. Firstly, I should start with an apology for not getting much updated or uploaded on to the site, […]

Keith Adams hasn’t had a Rover 75 since his misadventure in a rather ropey 1.8 almost a decade ago. But he’s back in this Copperleaf Rover 75 Tourer – the […]

Mike Humble didn’t need it, nor did he want it. But he’s bought it all the same – over to Mike for the fully nitty-gritty on this rather gorgeous Copperleaf […]

Was it really over a decade since I wrote Short-selling the Syncro? Yes. So how has the article fared in that decade? Well, I’ve been running one daily for the […]

Ask any automotive journalist who has travelled and most, if not all, will attest to the fact that any car always felt better to drive in its birthplace. There’s a […]

AROnline Contributor Martin Williamson says that MG is a given for him – like several other members of our Editorial Team, he has a soft spot for the ADO16 range, […]

As we enter another new year, we start it with another new motor. Say hello to Mike’s new steed for 2019 as his mid-life crisis decrees he must go topless… […]

Words and photography: Alexander Boucke In January 2017 I wrote about the accident which put our trusty Rover Tourer’s fate on trial. Yes, that was quite a while ago but, to cut […]

Mike Humble is about to part ways with his Boomerang Rover 75. Will he live to regret it?  Do you want to own this well-sorted, highly-fettled example of the breed? […]

After a quiet winter and spring resting up in Cumbria, I decided it was time to ready my Citroën GS for a summer of car shows – and its first appearance at […]

Although the XM is not yet a classic in legal terms, it certainly is rare here in Germany – very rare in V6 Estate guise. But that is no reason […]

The winter months are quiet ones for classic cars. Or they should be. What’s in the script is that they get put under a blanket and wait forlornly for spring, and […]

Why so much interest in Y-reg MINIs? The R50- and onwards-generation of MINI rather neatly dovetails with AROnline in many ways. We appeared at the same time in 2001, started out […]
