BMW Z3 BUYING GUIDE
The UK-market Z3 was powered by BMW’s new M44 1.9-litre 16-valve engine giving 140 bhp, this being a revised version of the 16-valve 1.8-litre M42 twin cam that had been fitted to 318iS cars since 1989. Europe had the base model 1.8 single cam model.

The mainstream engine for the Sierra at launch was the overhead-cam four-cylinder Pinto which was offered in 1.3, 1.6 and 2-litre guises. FORD V8 PILOT
Ford V8 Pilot 1947-51. Though it was produced exclusively post-war, and a model intended to get Ford back into business quickly, the Pilot was to all intents and purposes a continuation of what Ford had been doing in the years coming up to 1939, and contained few if any ‘new’ components. The sidevalve 85bhp V8 engine was a big torquey old
ROAD TEST - 1996 JAGUAR XJS 4.0 AUTO - CLASSICS WORLD Classics World’s Chris Stacey test drives and reviews the 1996 Jaguar XJS 4.0 Auto Celebration. The E-Type was always going to be a very tough act to follow and Jaguar chose to replace the icon with a grand tourer rather than another sports car. Wise move some might say, but when the XJS was launched in 1975, the press saw it as something ROAD TEST - 1978 MGB ROADSTER Excluding a few inches of black rubber front and back, it is still very much an MGB. Our test car today is a 1978 model in glowing BL Flame Red paint and is currently for sale at Norfolk-based specialist dealer and restorer MG Mecca. Proprietor Russell Storer is more than a marque specialist, he’s a true MG enthusiast and extremely knowledgeable.
CLASSIC ROAD TEST: ALFA ROMEO GTV REVIEW Back in the mid ’90s this was Alfa’s riposte to the BMW coupe. How does the Alfa Romeo GTV stack up 20 years on and should you buy one? “Still want that 3-Series?” asked the front cover of Autocar on March 27, 1996 above an action photo of the Alfa GTV. WHY SHOULD YOU BUY A JAGUAR XK8/XKR? ON THE ROAD. Over the years, XK8/XKR auto gearboxes have proved to be reasonably reliable, more so the Mercedes-Benz-derived five-speed ‘boxes fitted to the supercharged and 4.2-litre cars. These ‘boxes have gained a reputation for generally being bulletproof and changes should take place with an appreciable smoothness. HOME | CLASSICS WORLD BEST MODERN CLASSIC SUVs.

MODERN ASTON MARTINS: MARKET TRENDS Aston Martin Vanquish (2001-2007) Finally, a new Aston Martin for James Bond. As featured in the 2002 film Die Another Day, the Vanquish was the confirmation of a return to form for Aston Martin. Under Ford ownership, the new car featured a V12, reasonably clever tech, and looks to die for. They were never cheap, starting with a lofty 158,000
PORSCHE BOXSTER (986) BUYER'S GUIDE It’s now a good 25 years since the 986-generation Porsche Boxster went on sale in the UK, and 28 years since the Boxster concept car was shown in Detroit to rave reviews.

The obvious advantage of buying a modern-classic Bentley rather than an older example is its relative lack of rust issues, although this doesn’t mean the Arnage is guaranteed to be corrosion-free. After all, the oldest cars are now 22 years old, and not all of them will have been cherished in more recent times.

The MGB was a classic, sleek two-seat open top or 2+2 hardtop GT at the leading edge of 1960s sports car design, a description that was still true when it passed out of production in 1980!

FORD V8 PILOT
Ford V8 Pilot 1947-51. Though it was produced exclusively post-war, and a model intended to get Ford back into business quickly, the Pilot was to all intents and purposes a continuation of what Ford had been doing in the years coming up to 1939, and contained few if any ‘new’ components. The sidevalve 85bhp V8 engine was a big torquey old
ROAD TEST - MG TF
Classics World’s Rob Hawkins test drives and reviews the MG TF The values of used MG TFs are seemingly increasing, whereas the earlier Hydragas-sprung MGF has yet to catch up. So maybe now is the time to find a TF in good condition and keep it, or maybe collect several MGFs in anticipation their values will rise. CLASSIC ROAD TEST: ALFA ROMEO GTV REVIEW Back in the mid ’90s this was Alfa’s riposte to the BMW coupe. How does the Alfa Romeo GTV stack up 20 years on and should you buy one? “Still want that 3-Series?” asked the front cover of Autocar on March 27, 1996 above an action photo of the Alfa GTV.

With a new cambelt, upgraded head gasket and stainless coolant pipes, this is as trouble-free an MGF as you’ll find anywhere and is ready to be used and enjoyed this summer without springing any surprises. The MGF is great value right now and the underrated VVC model is a genuinely capable sports car – all for the price of a rotten

MODERN ASTON MARTINS: MARKET TRENDS Aston Martin Vanquish (2001-2007) Finally, a new Aston Martin for James Bond. As featured in the 2002 film Die Another Day, the Vanquish was the confirmation of a return to form for Aston Martin.

DAIMLER – THE JAGUAR YEARS DAIMLER – THE JAGUAR YEARS. The Daimler Motor Company was purchased by Jaguar in 1960 and this long-established marque went on to survive for almost 50 years before being consigned to the history books. We look at a selection of Daimlers built during the turbulent Jaguar years. Not to be confused with Daimler Benz or Daimler AG, the original
JAGUAR XK X150 BUYING GUIDE The Jaguar XK X150 features vented discs all-round, with normally-aspirated models using 326mm discs front and rear, while most supercharged versions have 355mm fronts. Parts prices are reasonable by modern-classic standards when you use an independent specialist, with SNG Barratt offering various options. A pair of genuine Jaguar front discs
FORD CVH ENGINE: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW The Ford Sierra isn’t the first Ford which springs to mind when the CVH engine is being discussed but the car was in fact the recipient of the largest-capacity CVH to be offered in Europe. The mainstream engine for the Sierra at launch was the overhead-cam four-cylinder Pinto which was offered in 1.3, 1.6 and 2-litre guises. A BRIEF HISTORY OF MG CARS The MG name, based on the initials of the garage, first appeared in 1923 on a Kimber bodied bull nosed Morris Cowley special in which Kimber won gold in the Land’s End Trial. Although this winning car is claimed to be the prototype MG, the model recognised today as the first ever MG, or Old Number One, is a preserved pointed-tail two-seater.
MGB GT BUYER'S GUIDE MGB GT 1975-1980 BUYERS GUIDE. The MGB was a classic, sleek two-seat open top or 2+2 hardtop GT at the leading edge of 1960s sports car design, a description that was still true when it passed out of production in 1980! Throughout that time it was powered by a very solid if slightly agricultural 1798cc BMC B-series engine, delivering in UK form

ROAD TEST - 2005 JAGUAR XK8 It has a brilliant dual personality that enables it to transport you in comfort briskly. The damping is superb, to the point that you simply float over changes in elevation. Cornering is smooth and progressive, rather than sharp and focussed. The XK8 is an exercise in looks, comfort and speed, rather than sharp, precise driving. ROAD TEST - 2003 MORGAN 4/4 RUNABOUT CONDITION. Our tried and tested Morgan 4/4 Runabout (originally supplied by Berrybrook in Devon) may be 15 years old, but the condition that it’s in would suggest it was only a few years old. The 2003 Runabout was only ever offered in three colours and this example is finished in Regal Red, a dark rich colour that’s very easy on the eye.

BENTLEY ARNAGE BUYING GUIDE Bentley Arnage bodywork issues. The obvious advantage of buying a modern-classic Bentley rather than an older example is its relative lack of rust issues, although this doesn’t mean the Arnage is guaranteed to be corrosion-free. After all, the oldest cars are now 22 years old, and not all of them will have been cherished in more recent times.
