Cars UK are Exchange & Mart’s ‘Online Experts’

Cars UK is now the 'Online Expert' for Exchange & Mart on all things 'Car'. And they’ve been busy doing that, and they now have a very navigable website and are busy building an online community of petrol heads, centred around their raison d’être – car classifieds.

Bentley 6¾ litre V8 to end production – Diesels & Hybrid on the way

Bentley’s outgoing boss has revealed Bentley are planning to drop their trademark 6¾ litre V8 and introduce hybrid and diesel options. Bentley’s famed 6¾ litre V8 engine – in production since 1959, although it didn’t grow to 6¾ litre until 1970 - is as much a USP for Bentley as the badge and the history. BMW tried to bring production of the old iron lump to an end in 1998 – replacing it with a characterless BMW 4.4 litre V8 – but it was back a year later when VW took over as the motivation for the Red Label Arnage – and it’s stayed ever since.
