MINI celebrates 100 years of car production in Oxford

MINI will be celebrating a century of car production in Oxford on 28th March 2013, 100 years since the first Bullnose Morris Oxford was produced. It’s 100 years since the first Bullnose Morris Oxford rolled out on 28th March 1903, since when 11,655,000 cars have been built – with as many as 28,000 people employed in its heyday – and even Tiger Moth planes and Iron Lungs built alongside 80,000 repairs to Spitfires and Hurricanes during WWII. What is now MINI’s Plant Oxford was founded by William Morris – and Morris Motors kept control until 1952 – and has been owned and run by BMC, then British Motor Holdings (when Jaguar arrived), British Leyland (when Leyland Trucks, Triumph and Rover joined), nationalisation in the 1970s saw a variety of names, Rover Group arrived in 1986 and was subsequently privatised and sold in 1994 to BMW.

Infiniti M30d Diesel UK Price & Specs

The Infiniti M30d gets priced and specced for the UK It took Infiniti a while to get a diesel lump together for their European models – without which they didn’t have much hope of making any impact in Europe at all – but they got there and we’ve already seen the Infiniti 3.0 litre diesel lump in the SUV Crossovers – the Infiniti EX30d and the Infiniti FX30d – where we got UK prices and specs back in May. Now it’s the turn of the Infiniti M to get priced and specced with full details being released for the Infiniti M30d. There may just be one diesel engine, but Infiniti has managed to come up with a total of five trim options – M30d, M30d GT, M30d S, M30d GT Premium and M30d S Premium – with prices starting out at £36,750 for the entry level and rising to £46,600 for the M30d S Premium.

New Jeep Cherokee revealed

The 2014 Jeep Cherokee – a replacement for the Jeep Liberty – has been revealed ahead of a debut at the 2013 New York Auto Show in April. So when Jalopnik published some less than good looking photos of the new Jeep Cherokee yesterday, the PR machine at Jeep went in to overdrive to bring forward the release of official photos of the new Cherokee, to hopefully stem the less than flattering comments on the new Cherokee’s looks. So here we have Jeep’s new, smaller SUV come crossover in all its glory.
