ISSUE 46 / 2017

F

ast & Furious 8, there wasn't anything else that we could have put on the cover. We love the franchise and the whole prepostrousness of it all, so this issue is a celebration of all things Furious. We hope you enjoy the pictures and interviews. Plus it is great to welcome Michelle Rodriguez back on our cover. She's the first celebrity to have that honour, I hope she thinks it is as cool as we do. This issue is also choc full of watches, another thing which is high on the Free Car Mag list of priorities. Basleworld 2017 is the annual celebration of all things watches. It is where new ones are launched and industry comes together to gawp at the latest wrist candy. Indeed, Free Car Mags own expert, Daniel Williams was there to spot the latest trends and tell us what is going on in the world of watches. There are no apologies for the sheer number of watches especially as so many have close connections with cars, as we carefully explain. We were also in Geneva for the motor show, or rather photographer Andrew Elphick was. So turn the page and enjoy his brilliant shots. Finally, Free Car Mag for the second year running, has been shortlisted as magazine of the year in the Newspress awards. Which was very nice, almost Fast & Furious 8 nice. There are a lot of people behind the scenes who make this mag work the way it does, so a huge thanks to all of them. Most of all thank you for reading Free Car Mag. l Cover photos Universal Pictures

FREE CAR MAG & GENEVA MOTOR SHOW

As all the grown ups were running around the motor show looking at the latest models from Porsche, Ferrari and Mercedes, we were taking a look at the odder exhibits. It isn't everyday that you bump into a LEGO racing driver, but that's exactly what happened on the Ford stand. Then there was the Fiat 500 with micro dressed support staff. That was though on the way to the David Brown Automotive stand for a close look at their Speedster. Not only does it look sensational in the metal, there was a nice touch with the rear facing child seats. Only joking, but what a way to watch the Polo or cheer on your racehorse?

CLASSICS SPOTTED @GENEVA

MADE IN SWITZERLAND - THE MIGHTY MONTEVERDIS

There are not just brand new cars at the Geneva Motor Show there are loads of sensational classic cars too which really grabbed our attention. Now, you may not have heard of Monteverdi, but it was a Swiss brand of luxury cars created in 1967 by Peter Monteverdi and based in Binningen on the southern edge of Basel, Switzerland. The red model is a Hai which was designed to be a rival to the Ferrari 250 and the Lamborghini Miura. Ultimately it was a car made by Peter for himself and it is rumoured that just two were made, so this was a super rare car to actually see. The car on the right is the Monteverdi Safari which was built from 1977 to 1982. It might remind you of another British off roader. The Safari was based on the American International Harvester Scout. 4 freecarmag.com

FREE CAR MAG'S FAVOURITE STAND - MORGAN

What's not to love about the Morgan's stand at Geneva? Absolutely nothing of course. The star of the stand and the show has to be the EV3, the world's first electric three wheeler. The sheer charm of everything on display and the uniquely British style of everything was a wonderful contrast to some of the over the top tuners stands and the overkill of some manufacturers who claim to be revoluntionary, but here is one of the world's oldest car manufacturers setting the trend. Also spotted, a 4/4 in Bahama Yellow – longest running production car in the world, Plus 4 in Dove Grey, V6 Roadster in Willow Green, 3 Wheeler with fully polished body, EV3 UK1909 Selfridges – limited to 19 vehicles.

SMALL & PERFECTLY FORMED GENEVA ODDBALLS

We had to double back to the Ford stand just to see the lovely classics they parked all over their stand. In particular the almost perpendicular XR2 took our breath away. Even more impressive was this rally prepared Fiat Panda. Italian Giulio Verzeletti is the man responsible for turning this town car into the Dakar conquering PanDaker. “We’re a private team without the resources of the factory squads, although we do get a hand from Fiat,” explained Verzeletti, a veteran of 16 participations in trucks, bikes and cars. “We have to put a huge amount of effort in ourselves: I’d say around 2,000 hours of work have gone into this tiny car. The biggest limit is just its size. The suspension travel is so small that it takes a real pounding all day. You certainly feel it by the evening!” Here is the first Italian car to finish the gruelling Paris Dakar Rally. freecarmag.com 5

MARGOT ROBBIE

Nissan’s new electric vehicle (EV) ambassador raced the carmaker’s radical all-electric BladeGlider sports car around the world-famous Monaco Grand Prix circuit, at midnight. She raced another BladeGlider so that the pair of 272PS performance cars raced through the iconic tunnel and diced with each other along Massenet before finishing in the glamour of Casino Square. Margot Robbie said: “It’s a really exciting time for electric vehicles. More people are choosing to go electric, leading the way to a more sustainable future and the Nissan BladeGlider hints at the future of smarter performance cars.”

HONDA CIVIC COUPE

MAZDA RX-8

The Fast and Furious gang used these to hijack lorries in the first film. Yes really. They were black, not red and were painted black with a big rear wing and an engine tuned to infinity. So you could buy a ‘95 model and then make it your own, it will cost you just a few hundred quid.

Back to Tokyo Drift for what is one of the most remarkable and individual models to come out of Japan in the last few decades. The Rotary engine is unique as is the fact that it has small rear opening doors. Heavy on petrol and oil means that prices start at ÂŁ3000.

NISSAN SKYLINE

SUBARU IMPREZA

Fast & Furious in 2009 is for many when the franchise came back in full force and Paul Walker actually rebuilt a GT-R out of a couple of broken ones, like the one above. These are the most civilised of supercars which can reach and exceed 200mph, then take you down to the shops.

The Fast & Furious may have had an Impreza in it, but sadly it was the less than pretty STi from 2009. A refugee from the police impound yard it managed to do a job. In real life any Subaru makes a great buy, incredibly reliable, but when repairs are needed it will be very pricey.

Car Choice

Barry Gill no longer needs an MPV. Loves the look of Sports Utility Vehicles and replacing a Ford Galaxy. Likes gadgets.

INTERESTING SUV

A CAR FOR THE HEAD FORD KUGA

Barry could part exchange the Galaxy for a Ford Kuga. The model for 2017 has been beefed up when it comes to looks and comes with the electronic tricks that Barry loves. It is Wi Fi connected and the Ford SYNC 3 system means passengers can stay connected and control their phones, music, navigation system with intuitive voice commands, on an 8” colour touchscreen. A high specification 1.5 TDCi Titanium is £23,965, with a £1500 deposit and 36 monthly payments of £289. 28 freecarmag.com

A CAR FOR THE HEART PEUGEOT 3008

If Barry wanted to consider something other than a Ford, then the latest Peugeot 3008 SUV could be the perfect choice. Good to drive, technology is at the heart of the new model. There is 3D navigation. A touch of a control knob on the steering wheel, transfers the images from the touch-screen to the digital instrument in front of the driver. A Smartphone screen can be reproduced on the touch-screen. For instance a 1.2 130 GT Line costs £25,615, but with a 1.9% APR and a £3199 deposit converts into 36 monthly payments of £295.


HCLASSY CONVERTIBLE FREE CAR MAG CAN ANSWER YOUR CAR CHOICE QUESTION

A CAR FOR THE HEAD MERCEDES SLK

A convertible coupe has a complicated folding electric roof and £5K is a modest amount to spend, so it is important to find a good one. The Mercedes SLK was the first of this new breed of sports car and proved how popular the concept could be. The restyled examples from 2004 with the smaller a 1.8 Kompressor engine is cost effective to own and run. We found an ’04 model with a fresh MOT and full service history with electric memory seats and special AMG alloys which would be perfect for Cheryl.

Cheryl Peters wants a coupe convertible that is practical all year round and above all classy.

A CAR FOR THE HEART LEXUS SC

I think Cheryl would really enjoy life with a Lexus. Not only are they superbly built vehicles, Lexus have a fantastic reputation for reliability. So although they are not cheap to run, the return is quality and dependability. The SC model was their entry into the coupe convertible class and they cost over £50K. Depreciation has taken its toll and early examples are now very affordable. A good service history and the overall condition are the two priorities. We came across a 2002 example with 106,000 miles with a full service history at £5275. freecarmag.com 29

Range Rover & Zenith

5

he year 1969 saw the creation of two of the most important landmarks in the parallel worlds of car design and watch making: Range Rover and Zenith. Both the Range Rover and the El Primero continue to be recognised as class-leaders in their respective fields. The latest, fourth-generation Range Rover because it combines supreme luxury with outstanding performance and off-road capability, and the El Primero because, after 47 years, it is still the most precise, series-produced mechanical chronograph move-ment on the market. Aldo Magada (left), President and CEO of Zenith said: “The match between our two brands is very strong. Zenith and Range Rover are both pioneers in our respective industries, and we both create unique, innovative products. “The Zenith El Primero is one of the most distinctive watch designs ever produced, in my view. Therefore it has been imperative to honour and respect this iconic design. It had to remain unmistakably an El Primero, but allude to Range Rover DNA.” says Gerry McGovern (right), Land Rover Chief Design Officer.

THE ZENITH EL PRIMERO RANGE ROVER FEATURES A 42MM CASE MADE FROM CERAMISED ALUMINIUM FINISHED IN A DARK, HIGHLY SCRATCH-RESISTANT CERAMIC COATING. THE GRAPHITE ATLAS DETAILS OF THE RANGE ROVER SVAUTOBIOGRAPHY DYNAMIC ARE ECHOED IN THE GREY DIAL OF THE WATCH WHICH CAR-RIES A ‘BRUSHED’ FINISH WHILE THE CASE BACK IS MADE FROM SAPPHIRE CRYSTAL AND RETAINED BY A CERAMISED ALUMINUM ENGRAVED WITH SPECIAL EDITION WORDING.

VERA SUNDAY ITV 8PM

VERA

Set around Newcastle and the stunning Northumberland countryside, Vera features complex and intriguing cases, atmospherically-shot landscapes and captivating performances, led by BAFTA, RTS and Golden Globe award-winning actress Brenda Blethyn who plays the unorthodox but brilliant DCI Vera Stanhope. She drinks beer and drives a scruffy Land Rover,in ITV’s Sunday night cop show-bythe sea, Vera. It is back with a fifth series and there is only one vehicle that can deal with the wilds of Northumberland. Apparently, the Defender is a 300TDi with a very expensive automatic conversion, which is not cheap. .

CAR S.O.S.

Car S.O.S. National Geographic Thursday 8pmwill be

Master mechanic Fuzz Townshend and parts-blagging petrol-head Tim available to Shaw are returning for a brand new fifth series of Car S.O.S on National Geographic. Tim and Fuzz continue their secret, undercover mission to save corroding classic cars from their unsuspecting owners, and restore them to their former glory, after a swift pit-stop at the Car S.O.S. garage.

PERSONAL SHOPPER IN CINEMAS NOW

PERSONAL SHOPPER The main Free Car Mag reason to see this is: Kirsten Stewart on a scooter. And she is very good on two wheels. We also identify with the whole problem of personal shoppers, I mean they never get it right do they? Oh and then there are the mysterious texts from someone or other, which we would just ignore. Like we do when the office phone rings when we are having a coffee break. So that’s basically the plot of this film with stylish Pariscapes thrown in. And ghosts. We are really frightened of those.
