1961 Jaguar E-Type ‘Barn Find’ sells for £110k

Rarity is all in the classic car world, which is one of the reasons why the early, pre-Fiat Ferraris command huge prices (there were only 33 Series 1 Ferrari 250 GTOs built and you would now have to pay north of $40 million for one) and why the E-Type – glorious and desirable though it is – commands a fraction of that. In fact, you can pick up a very decent E-Type in good condition for as little as £50k, and even E-Types that have been fully restored and with low mileage don’t often break the £100k barrier. So why has this tatty 1961 flat-floor E-Type sold for £119,020 at Bonhams auction at the RAF Museum in Hendon?

Subaru Cosworth Impreza STI CS400 (2010) revealed

This is the new Cosworth Impreza STI CS400, a limited edition Subaru tuned and tweaked by one of F1’s most famous names. It costs nearly £50k, and will hit 62mph in 3.7 seconds. Almost – there’s 400PS, so 395bhp in our language; Cosworth removes the 2.5-litre flat-four from the STI and sets about seriously overhauling it.

Renault at Geneva Motor Show: Renault Wind

The Renault Wind gets its first public airing at Geneva The Renault Wind gets its first public airing at Geneva Last month Renault revealed that the Twingo CC we were expecting to make an appearance would – but as the Renault Wind. Which seems to be because Renault want us to perceive the Wind as a bit more upmarket that the Twingo on which it’s based. So they’re fitting bits and bobs to the interior from further up the Renault range to make the Wind seem a bit posher.
