ISSUE 67 / 2019

T

elevision. Does anyone watch that anymore? Now there is the Interweb, surely we are all off looking at our own sort of things that aren't tied to that dated old box in the corner? Well, actually, this is some sort of golden age for cars on TV. If you don;t believe me, take a look at the schedules and this issue.

Never mind the juggernaughts that are Top Gear and Grand Tour there are the very excellent Salvage Hunters Classic Cars and Wheeler Dealers. These are big programmes with big personalities who love cars as much as we do. The great thing is that you also learn a lot from these shows, whether it is about the cars or how to work on them. Paul Cowland stressed that Salvage Hunters celebrates the great skills that exist in the UK. It was also great to speak to people who make brand new car shows and that includes The Car Years with Alex Riley. He was fantastically positive about the direction they are taking and we can look forward to seeing this series later in the year.

What you can watch right now is Formula E. If you haven't seen it, give it go, not least because Nicki Shields is fronting the series. She makes it even more accessible and easy to follow. Again, like us, she loves cars and that's important.

2019 is the year of Car Telly and we are looking forward to even more quality motoring programes. l Cover photos • Footman James • Quest TV

RUBY 'BAKEOFF' BHOGAL + NEW EVOQUE

As you now know, the next generation Range Rover Evoque was unveiled with an impressive display of capability in London’s creative hub, celebrating the global appeal of Land Rover’s best-selling compact luxury SUV. British stars all came together for the launch, with Bodyguard star Richard Madden joining a host of famous faces on the red carpet, including Taron Egerton, Millie Mackintosh, Hugo Taylor and Mollie King. Free Car Mag are much much bigger fans of The Great British Bakeoff in general and Ruby Bhogal in particular. She was robbed. Never mind, she looks the celebrity part and we just wondered if we could get her look? Course we can.

alken at the Nürburgring: Klaus Bachler and Martin Ragginger crowned the Porsche 911 GT3 R’s farewell race with the second victory of the VLN 2018 season. With that, another chapter of Falken’s successful history draws to a close. No prior Falken racing car has been more successful than the 991 model. To sum up: the Porsche won two overall VLN victories and a total of nine podium places since its racing debut in April 2016. The always reliable 911 completed over 30,000 racing kilometres on the challenging Nürburgring Nordschleife. Falken thus concludes the successful season with two overall victories - including the first double victory in the team´s history - and a total of seven podium finishes.

Falken is also the overall winner of the VLN Speed Trophy 2018 which rewards the top teams according to the current Formula 1 points system.

EASY ENTRY

Car Choice

Anne Coverdale has a bad back and wants a car that is easier to get in and out of. Has ÂŁ12,000 to spend.

A CAR FOR THE HEAD KIA SPORTAGE

The biggest problem for bad back suffers is simply getting in and out of the vehicle. Folding yourself down into a seat is much harder then sliding into a high mounted seat. Because Anne needs a decent amount of space and is trading up from a Skoda Fabia, I think a Kia Sportage would be an excellent choice. They are good value, with a seven year warranty, so with a 2013 example there will still be a few years to run. I found a 27,000 mile 1.7 CRDi ISG 3 at a dealer that would be perfect.

A CAR FOR THE HEART SSANGYONG KORANDO

Another great value Far Eastern maker of easy to enter and exit Sports Utility vehicles would be SsangYong. This a value brand offers everything a new car buyer would need plus a no catch comprehensive five year manufacturer warranty. Buying a nearly new example saves money and would mean Anne would still get the same benefits when it comes to protection as this is unlimited mileage cover. The Korando is smart and practical. a 2015 2.0TD SE automatic with 16,000 miles would be ideal.

PRACTICAL CAMPER

Charlie Leymarie wants a cheap to run, ideally green, vehicle that is small and could double as a camper.

A CAR FOR THE HEAD RENAULT KANGOO

When it comes to being green the mere act of buying a well used car and effectively recycling it the most environmentally friendly thing anyone can do.

Also going for a small petrol engine, which is more reliable and cheaper to fix than a diesel makes sense. A Renault Kangoo It is compact and boxy like a van with sliding rear doors that are very convenient. I found a 2001 1.4 RXE which had a full service history covering the 104,000 miles and a brand new MOT at just £950

A CAR FOR THE HEART VAUXHALL MERIVA

Should Charlie want something a little smaller then there is the Suzuki Wagon R. It’s party trick was that all the seats folded flat into a double bed. There is then potential for a camper conversion right there. It is very small though and there won’t be much room for luggage. The Vauxhall Meriva from 2010 model with the Flex 5 seating and has split and fold flat seating which might be adaptable to camping purposes with a bit of imagination. A 2010 Meriva 1.4i S with 80K miles is £2769 from a dealer with a warranty. freecarmag.com 33

@Bangernomics

Here is the model that helped Volvo get a foothold in the upper end of the car market and established a reputation for subtle luxury.

When US magazine Car and Driver tested the Volvo 164 in its July 1969 issue, readers were treated to a description of the kind of people who were expected to buy the new Volvo: “The Volvo people are looking to steal buyers from Buick, Oldsmobile and Mercedes showrooms, and they are doing just that. Volvo’s new customers are professional types – doctors, lawyers, dentists‌ people who can afford something different.â€?

An American advert for the 164 from Volvo was linked with the same theme: “The Luxury Car That Shows You Have More Than Money.�
