Auctioneer Celebrates 50 Years of Ford's Mustang With Sale of Rare Coupe

AS Ford’s iconic Mustang celebrates its 50th anniversary, a1964 Mustang 1/2 Coupe, produced as part of the earliest production run of the iconic car, is ready to go under the hammer at Silverstone Auctions’ May Sale on May 24th. Regarded as the purest of all Mustangs, this rare car, estimated between £14,000 to £18,000, was built at Ford's Dearborn Michigan plant on 26th June 1964. Crucially it still has its original 260CI V8 Engine and Cruise-O-Matic transmission.

VW Beetle GSR: Price from £24,900

The Beetle GSR is a homage to the Yellow-Black Racer Beetle from the 1970s (GSR stands for Gelb Schwarzer Renner – which means Yellow-Black Racer) which featured a similar paint job, boosted power (a whole 49bhp) and was also limited to 3,500 units. But the 2013 version of the Beetle GSR does at least offer much more get up and go than the 1970s GSR managed. That means the GSR comes with VW’s 2.0 litre turbo with 207bhp which is enough to get the yellow Bug to 62mph in 7.3 seconds on its way top 142mph, and is the same power output all Beetles with the 2.0 litre TSI will get from May 1st (up from 197bhp).

2012 Infiniti FX Facelift arrives despite Infiniti saying it’s not needed

2012 Infiniti FX Facelift UK A facelift for the Infiniti FX has been revealed for the UK and Europe – the same facelift the US got last summer. Infiniti won’t believe us, but we do think the Infiniti FX has a lot to recommend it. There’s a decent choice of engines, it seems to ride well enough and can show a lot of competitors a clean pair of heels.
