appy new year everyone. I do hope that 2020 is shaping up how you expected. For us it has got off to a brilliant start with the news that there is a new series of Wheeler Dealers, but with a twist. The show is built on viewer's dreams. So if you fancied moving on from your current car to something you always promised yourself, Mike Brewer can help and so can his new mate Marc Priestley. Please read the interview, they could not be more positive and enthusiastic and in love with classic cars, can't wait to see the series. There is a slight off road theme and do take the time to have a look at the Toyota Hilux feature. Kiran Parmar went out and got muddy, plus took some fine pictures. We do like motorbikes and if you can find a more handsome example than the Ariel Iron Horse then please send us a postcard. See you next time.

FERNANDO ALONSO + TOYOTA GAZOO RACING
Fernando Alonso posted his first rally raid podium finish with Toyota Gazoo Racing when he and co-driver Marc Coma claimed third place on the four-day Al Ula-Neom Cross-Country Rally in Saudi Arabia. It was the first trophy for the Spanish pair since they began their preparations for the 2020 Dakar event less than three months ago. “The final stage was a difficult one, full of rocks and difficult navigation, but we had no real issues, finishing third on the stage and third overall,” said two-time Formula 1 Champion Alonso. “This our first rally raid podium and I’m very happy with that. We’ve had four good days in Saudi Arabia.”
Spotted in Saudi
The event presented Alonso and Coma with the new challenge of competing on unfamiliar terrain against a field of local rally raid specialists. The first two of four stages brought around 135 miles driving each day over open desert, stony landscapes and rocky paths. The second day’s action saw the Toyota pair pushing to close the gap, only to lose around two-and-a-half minutes to repair a puncture. For the closing two stages the action moved to Neom on the Red Sea coast where conditions were equally challenging. Alonso and Coma showed strong pace to hold third place going into the final day when they again demonstrated excellent speed and competitiveness. 4 freecarmag.com

KATIE PRICE'S ICONIC PINK RANGE ROVER...
The custom-painted, ‘Barbie Rosa Pink’ Range Rover Autobiography naturally stood out at an auction in Essex and was instantly snapped up by the buying team at Saxton 4x4. “We’re always looking to source the best and most unique cars, it goes along with the special experience we like to offer our customers,” said the head of the buying team at Saxton 4x4, “A car's history is very important and can add to its value. Being owned by a celebrity offers extra kudos and can make the car more desirable.”
COURTESY OF URBAN AUTOMOTIVE...
It wasn’t just the eye-catching colour or the celebrity-ownership that attracted Saxton 4x4 to the car, “This particular car has been professionally enhanced by Urban Automotive and with Saxton 4x4 being an official Urban centre, made the car a good candidate for our inventory.” The modifications added by Urban Automotive include the body styling and the 22” alloys. Anybody interested in owning a piece of tabloid history is urged to keep their eyes peeled on the forecourts of Saxton 4x4 over the next few weeks. freecarmag.com 5

Mrs Merkel
Austin Healey commented: “Since getting behind the wheel of New C5 Aircross SUV, I totally get the benefits of a car with Progressive Hydraulic Cushions® suspension. The way it filters out any imperfections in the road is incredible. So nothing gives me greater pleasure than getting stuck in and sharing this experience with the residents of Surrey.” Souad Wrixen, Citroën UK’s Marketing Director, commented: “It’s no secret that the state of British roads is getting worse, and potholes cause problems for us all, whether you’re a driver, cyclist, pedestrian or resident in an affected area. As a brand we are dedicated to helping customers experience the perfect ride with our vehicles, so it’s a pleasure to work with Surrey County Council to make the roads smoother and provide a glimpse to all motorists of what it is like to a drive a Citroën every day.” 6 freecarmag.com

BRITAIN’S HOTTEST MODELS IN CALIFORNIA
David Gandy is one of Britain’s most recognisable male models – due in part to his ten year relationship with Italian fashion house Dolce and Gabbana – David was photographed alongside Jaguar’s newest SUV the E-PACE and the iconic E-Type on the Californian lake bed of El Mirage a while back. The shoot was for the cover and editorial piece in a US luxury men’s lifestyle magazine. David has been a Jaguar owner for the last ten years and is a true fan of the brand. We will feature old David again soon, but for the moment, let's get his rather smart look. 3

Ford is continuing its support of the RNLI by supplying the charity that saves lives at sea with 20 new four-wheel-drive Ford Rangers to support beach patrols across the country. Ford will ship a total of 210 new vehicles to the RNLI by the end of 2019, followed by a further 150 in 2020 and again in 2021 – including a total of 100 Ford Rangers to act as beach patrol vehicles for its lifeguard service. Andy Barratt, Ford of Britain chairman and managing director, said: “We’ve been delighted to supply vehicles to the RNLI this year and support the outstanding work they do to keep the UK coast line safe. We’re really excited to see our Ford Ranger being used as part of their vital beach patrols.� Ford takes its social responsibility as an industry leader, employer and charity supporter seriously. Ford will be further collaborating with the RNLI throughout 2020 on water safety messages to raise public awareness of risks around the water to help people enjoy coastal and inland waterways more safely.

ccording to Professor Gordon Murray, the driver-focused new model will have the most advanced and most effective aerodynamics ever seen on a road car. In addition to utilising the race team’s advanced rolling-road wind tunnel at its Silverstone (UK) headquarters, GMA will gain insight and expertise from Racing Point’s highly-experienced engineers. The announcement comes as GMA reveals the first official image of the T.50 supercar ahead of its global unveiling – set for May 2020. The rendering shows the purity and drama of the T.50, which has been penned by Professor Gordon Murray and the design team at Gordon Murray Design. Contrasting with the clean lines of the T.50 body, perhaps the most notable feature of the exterior is the rear-end, which is dominated by a 400mm ground-effect fan – part of a unique airflow management system. Coupled with active underbody aerodynamics and dynamic rear aerofoils, the revolutionary aero system enables the T.50 to achieve considerably more aerodynamic performance and control than a conventional ground-effect supercar contributing to an unrivalled driving experience. The T.50 features six different aero modes that optimise the car for different scenarios to balance traction and outright performance. The most extreme – Vmax Mode – combines motorsport slipstream technology, extra power from a 48-volt integrated starter-generator, and ram induction to boost power to 700hp. The announcement comes as customer allocations of the T.50, priced in excess of £2 million before taxes, enter their final phase. The majority of the exclusive production run of 100 cars has already been allocated to automotive enthusiasts. The supercar has generated demand from a wider
than expected global customer base, with a significant number heading to customers in the USA and Japan. Weighing just 980kg, the T.50 will deliver the purest, most driver-focused performance and dynamics of any road car. The car’s bespoke Cosworth V12 will be the highest-revving road car engine ever made, capable of an extraordinary 12,100rpm. The rear-wheel drive T.50 features Murray’s favoured three-seat layout, with the driver benefitting from a central ‘jet-fighter-style’ driving position. Aligned with Gordon Murray’s claim that the T.50 could be the pinnacle of great analogue supercars, the driver-centric analogue controls are positioned to provide the ultimate, highly-intuitive, and totally-immersive driving experience. Aerodynamics plays a critical role in defining the proportions and styling of the T.50. Clean, flowing upper surfaces contrast sharply with the dramatic rear, which is dominated by a prominent 400mm-diameter fan. The entire rear end design is technically driven, with the fan, engine exhaust, ground effect diffusers and engine bay cooling featuring prominently. The profile of the T.50 is distinguished by the radiator exit duct outlet behind the front wheel and the profiled dihedral door and monocoque. This concept of ‘functional bodywork’ is also evident in the engine ram induction duct in the roof of the car. Professor Murray said: “We were highly focused on achieving the purest possible form for the T.50, an objective we’ve achieved through world-first engineering innovations and active underbody aerodynamics. We will reveal the completed design at the T.50 supercar’s global debut in May.�
