Our Cars

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 […]

Once bitten, twice shy? Okay, so to own the same car three times is a bit odd, but four times? Well, pour yourself a hot drink and get comfortable as […]

Well, this one’s been easy. Back in August, I picked up this tidy British-built Honda Civic Type R from long-time AROnline reader, Russell Gowers. My intention was to lightly use it […]

I feel quite guilty about not getting something posted a bit sooner, but time has been against me. So here we have another Rover 200 (R8) model within our midst, […]

Back in March, I blogged that there was a real danger of AROnline going French. The fact that there were a pair of CXs on the books, and I’d arranged to […]

Keith Adams moves his Bangernomics Mondeo on to pastures new and replaces it with something a little more British-built. It’s a tad nicer to drive, too… […]

Our £760 2008 Ford Mondeo 2.0 Ghia gets new brakes and continues to impress as a long-distance cruiser. Even with 210,000 miles on the clock. New brakes and a reset of the engine management warning light seem to have turned into a good-as-new Bangernomics motor. […]

Our man in the south waves farewell to Project HHR, the car that’s quite possibly been the cheapest and most dependable of the bangers we have brought you. In a […]
