13:19

If ever the phrase “Don’t judge a book by its cover” was appropriate, it’s with the Fiat Multipla. With an exterior described as “Designed by a group of people who seemingly never met”, and an instrument cluster resembling “Nightmare on Skull Rock”, this isn’t a car to easily love. But that’s a shame. Under the comical looks lives a truly great car…

18:18

The mid-70’s were an optimistic time for British transport.

If you wanted to have the latest cutting-edge technology in your car in 2007 you wouldn’t buy a BMW 7 series or a Mercedes S-Class. You’d own a 2008 Ford Focus with SYNC.

The Triumph TR Story 22:40

I’m not sure why, but the Triumph TR7 is not a popular car, so many Triumph TR fans tend to wax lyrically about the TR6 and ignore its successor. I thought it was brilliant when I saw a new one on the road in the 1970s, it was something futuristic. But every Triumph TR car is loved in its own way, and to this day there’s a strong community keeping …

The Volkswagen Polo has quite a strange birth.
