THE RETURN OF THE GOLDFINGER ASTON MARTIN DB5
Sir Christopher Lee and the James Bond Aston Martin DB5 are rarely mentioned in the same sentence. Yes, the great Gentleman of Horror was Francisco Scaramanga in The Man with the Golden Gun, and he was considered to play the eponymous Dr. No, but he has not an apparent connection with Goldfinger.
CAR OF THE MONTH – FORD GRANADA
Our main illustrations, as any classic enthusiast will tell you, are of a Dove Grey 1982-model Ford Granada 2.3 GL which is owned by Thomas Jenkins of South Wales.

DO YOU REMEMBER THE VOLVO 262C?
When the Volvo 262C made its bow at the 1977 Geneva Motor Show, it would be fair to say that it could not be mistaken for any other car on the planet.
BUILT TO LAST – 50 YEARS OF THE PEUGEOT 504
It was the Car of the Year for 1969, defeating the BMW E3, the Alfa Romeo 1750 Berlina and the Jaguar XJ6. It was a car that would be seen across the world – from Paris to Sydney and from Nairobi to Lagos.
MY FAVOURITE FIATS – THE 2300 FAMILY
The passing of Sergio Marchionne on the 25th July had many of us thinking about Fiat and how he was instrumental in the marque’s future and even survival. It would be easy to create a “Top 10” or even a “Top 100” of the company’s finest vehicles and still have room to spare.
