with the value of a standard version of the same car with often startling results Cars with a royal connection often perform strongest, none more so than the Escort RS Turbo formerly used by Diana, Princess of Wales, which recently sold for £730,000 via Silverstone Auctions

Classic market offers potential ‘hedge against inﬂation’

John Mayhead, Hagerty editor, comments: “The UK Hagerty Price Guide values this model at an average of £35,400 for a totally concours, low mileage car. The Diana owned car sold for 2062 per cent of Hagerty’s top value ” Before the sale, Hagerty data revealed that cars once owned by the Princess of Wales commanded an average increase in price of 813 per cent

According to Hatlapa, demand for supercars and homologation specials in particular will remain buoyant: “I personally

and GT replacement shells to an impressive 2244 so far A total of 2009 complete bodies were also built by BMH for the MG RV8 production run of the early 1990s

Commenting on BMH’s latest MGB bodyshell run, managing director Graham Payne said: “We are very proud of the contribution we continue to make towards keeping the MGB flame alive, keeping abreast of the never ending demand for existing parts, as well as introducing new ones, resurrecting old ones, and constantly investing in the maintenance and refurbishment of the historic tooling ”

think early supercars or motorsport homologation road versions, such as the Mercedes Benz 190 Evo II, Lamborghini Countach, Bugatti EB110, Porsche 959, Ferrari 288 GTO and BMW E30 M3, will do well We are noticing a younger generation of emerging collectors gaining importance in the market

ith inflation soaring in the UK and throughout the wester n world (and beyond), well heeled investors are increasingly tur ning towards classic vehicles as a ‘safe’ choice during these uncertain times That’s the view of Silverstone Auctions, taking its findings from the latest Knight Frank Wealth Report, which suggests that classic cars are outperforming many other forms of investment

The 2022 Knight Frank Wealth Report takes a slightly more cautious approach, quoting market expert Dietrich Hatlapa of Historic Automobile Group Inter national (HAGI) Hatlapa suggests that his company’s main index the HAGI Top rose by three per cent in 2021, a figure that was “well below the long term annual average”

Of the 512,000 MGBs built at Abingdon between 1962 and 1980, BMH estimates that over 38,000 remain in the UK alone, many of which have benefited from the company’s continued production of complete shells and individual body panels

As an alter native to traditional investment options like gold, gem stones, fine art and even rare wines, high end classics are in particular demand at present, a trend that’s set to continue according to a statement by Silverstone Auctions: “For the next few years, classic cars may well be the way forward in terms of protecting your assets £100,000 in the bank will be £90,000 this time next year, but with a carefully

High value classic cars remain among the safest investments during this era of rising inﬂation, according to an inﬂuential report. And it’s a trend that looks set to continue

The auction house suggests that a headline inflation figure of around 10 per cent will “motivate investors to look at alter natives” Stocks and shares are seen as risky by many due to current global political issues, artwork is too long term a strategy for some investors, and there are suggestions that the property market is due a correction: “So, it has to be classic cars and classic bikes, with the additional pleasure that you can ride and drive them ”

The BJ8 leads the prices of Healey 3000s bank on paying £50,000 £60,000 for a good one and maybe as much as £100,000 for a fastidiously and freshly restored one that could win prizes Rougher ‘older restorations’ with tired paint fall into the £35,000 £40,000 bracket. Earlier 3000s sit about 20 per cent below those, with rare two seaters carrying approximately a 15 per cent premium Like the 100 6, the 3000’s values have been pretty much static across a decade, but unlike the older model the prices do seem to be very slightly trending upwards

Average prices off the boil

This famous sporting marque included both ‘Big Healeys’ and ‘Little Healeys’ by the end of the 1950s. We reveal how the range is faring on today’s classic market

smiling grille that even people who know nothing about cars will point at and photograph. Intended as a thoroughly moder n low cost sports car, the Sprite used the engine and front suspension from the Austin A35 and the steering rack from the Morris Minor in a brand new body with an innovative monocoque cockpit tub Rear suspension was by quarter elliptical leaf springs, like a miniature Jaguar D Type With only 45bhp and a top speed of just over 80mph, the Sprite wasn’t fast even by standards of the time, but few other cars offered so much in such a lightweight, affordable and endlessly upgradable package And even in stock form the Sprite was huge fun to drive and still is today

Rising interest in later versions of the Sprite has closed the gap between them and the ‘Frogeye’ that traditionally existed, but there is still a big difference between values of the very best examples and more average ones Cars in fair ‘daily driver’ condition go for about £10,000 (or less for those better seen as rolling restorations) while excellent restored ones fetch £20,000 £25,000 The middle ground seems rather uncertain at the moment we’re noticing a number of Frogeyes put up for auction with estimates in the £18,000 £20,000 range which aren’t selling, perhaps suggesting that these cars are being overvalued in some quarters or interest is cooling from something of a peak in 2018

MARKET TRENDS 1950s Austin-Healeys

The 3000 was initially distinguished from the 100 6 only by a larger 2 9 litre, 130bhp C Series engine and front disc brakes, while everything else was carried over including the choice of two seater or far more popular 2+2 cockpit The Mk2 of 1961 added a third carburettor and a hotter camshaft, an optional brake servo and a new grille with vertical bars Although still designated the Mk2, a major change arrived in August 1962 with the ‘BJ7’ cars (that’s the chassis model code),

improved manifolds The same year, production transferred from Austin’s Longbridge plant to the MG works at Abingdon In 1958 the two seater model retur ned to the catalogue alongside the 2+2

The BJ7 was only available as a 2+2, and for a brief period was sold alongside the old roadster bodied 2+2 while the two seater was dropped The BJ8 arrived in 1968 (only as a 2+2), with bigger carburettors taking power to 148bhp, a new wood veneer dashboard and a redesigned rear chassis to improve ground clearance, allowing for more suspension travel and an improved ride The suspension also swapped the rear Panhard rod for twin trailing arms for better axle location and stability

The 100 6 was (and still is) seen as an interim model between the original four cylinder 100 and the ultimate 3000 It also lacks the motorsport pedigree of either This means it’s the most affordable of the Big Healeys, or certainly the one that offers the best value for money Stunningly good concours examples are worth £80,000 or so, while very good but unexceptional cars go for £30,000 £50,000 at auction Post 1957 models are worth very slightly more (but only by five to ten per cent) than the earlier version, and two seaters carry a similar premium over 2+2s

This is the Austin Healey Sprite in its original form the ‘Frogeye’ with the bulbous headlamps and

This was the second instalment in the ‘Big Healey’ line and the first to employ a six cylinder engine, which really defined the breed Although using what amounted to the same chassis and suspension as the original model, the 100 6 had a slightly longer wheelbase and a redesigned cockpit that allowed for a very small rear seat The windscreen was now fixed rather than folding, and the bodywork was restyled for a more streamlined look derived from the aluminium bodied 100S racer, with a distinctive oval radiator grille Power now came from BMC’s 2 6 litre C Series, initially making 102bhp, but then 117bhp from 1957 courtesy of a free flow cylinder head and

Values are generally stable but seem to have taken a small dip (only by a few percentage points) since 2019, which represented something of a very modest peak

which were now true convertibles with a folding roof, wind up windows, a curved windscreen and a retur n to twin carbs for virtually no change in power

Well, probably not But what the RV8

A big proportion of that total was exported to Japan, where fans of traditional British sports cars were eager to snap up the RV8 while stocks lasted But with such a short production run, surely the car’s creator Rover Group didn’t make any money out of it?

Three decades ago, the UK was beginning to emerge from recession and there were grounds for optimism in terms of car sales, aided by these new model launches of 1992

THE CLASS OF ’92

Paul Guinness Editor

When Alfa Romeo’s new front wheel drive 155 went on sale in early 1992, it was the car that enthusiasts hoped would finally enable the sporting Italian brand to take on the BMW 3 Series and perhaps even beat it But as had happened so many times before, this particular Alfa was too full of compromise to excel at such an ambitious task

The Queen celebrated her Ruby Jubilee, John Major ’s Conser vatives won an outr ight major it y in a general election (despite opinion polls suggesting a narrow Labour win), and Manchester suffered a devastating bomb attack by the IRA And of course, there was no shor tage of activit y on the motor ing front, with a number of impor tant new model launches taking place dur ing this year

Still, the 155 was an impressive car in many ways, offering a terrific choice of classic engines, a wonderfully entertaining Italian style driving experience, decent handling and the kind of charisma that German designers seemed unable to recreate It was an executive car for the individual, gaining extra ‘street cred’ for its success in Touring Car racing, which

Among the major announcements was Toyota’s unveiling of its new Carina E, which would go into production at the company’s newly established UK plant in Bur naston, Derbyshire, by the end of the year And just as important was the debut of Nissan’s K11 generation Micra, which would become the second Nissan model to be built at its Sunderland factory Each newcomer would go on to be a major success, with a high proportion of export sales throughout Europe

The resurrection of MG as a builder of genuine sports cars occurred in 1992, when the V8 engined RV8 took a bow Essentially an updated and upgraded MGB, the RV8 featured a more muscular looking bodyshell, a 3 9 litre (190bhp) powerplant and uprated but not drastically updated steering, suspension and brakes This was very much an ‘old school’ model intended only for limited production, which explains why the final RV8 was hand finished as early as 1995 after a run of just 2000 units

did was bring attention back to the MG marque before the arrival of the all important MGF in the mid 1990s. The debut of the hand built RV8 meant that, at long last, a ‘proper’ MG sports car could once again be bought brand new and buyers were guaranteed an entertaining experience This was a genuinely quick machine, with a top speed of 136mph and the 0 60mph dash in a mere 6 9 seconds although with old fashioned leaf springs bringing up the rear, the car’s handling could be tricky at the limit

Of more importance to the general new car buyer of 1992, however, was the gover nment’s announcement that Special Car Tax (first introduced in 1973, adding 10 per cent to the ex factory price of every model sold) was to disappear It had already been reduced to five per cent in the Budget of March 1992, but would be dropped altogether by the end of the year, giving car manufacturers a much needed boost after what had been a major recession So, let’s take a look at some of the biggest new model launches of 1992

generated headlines throughout Europe when the 155 won both the German DTM and the UK’s BTCC

y any standards, 1992 was an eventful year here in the UK

Entry level British spec versions came with the 1 8 litre Twin Spark engine, though our personal favourite has to be the 155 V6, which featured the power (166bhp), performance (131mph) and aural delights that any six cylinder Alfa Romeo is renowned for Most interesting of all the 155s, however, was the Q4, with 2 0 litre twin cam power and the all wheel drive set up from the Lancia Delta Integrale; but with fewer than 3000 built in total (and only a handful of LHDs sold in the UK), this was always destined to be a very rare sight on British roads

The third gen CRX offered sporty open top motoring

the Escort RS Cosworth a bespoke machine based around the platform and mechanicals of the Sierra Cosworth but fitted with Mk5 Escort body panels

The Escort RS Cosworth never did win any of the drivers’ or constructors’ championship titles, but still proved itself an impressive performer in the Group A era, with 10 WRC rally wins between 1993 and ’97 The Escort RS Cosworth was

Unveiled in October 1992 was the Brooklands, effectively replacing the two non turbocharged models in the Bentley line up The entry level Bentley Eight cost £84,867 by ’92, while the Mulsanne S came in at £92,246 In their place came the Brooklands at just under £90,000, bridging the gap between its predecessors and simplifying the Bentley line up via a single trim level instead of two Like the Mulsanne before it, the Bentley Brooklands featured a name strongly linked with the marque’s motor racing successes, with the official motor show car’s Brooklands Green paintwork adding to this homage to history A new front air dam (incorporating a pair of discreet fog lamps) and an all new alloy wheel design were introduced, while the old style chrome moulding that previously ran along the centre line of the bonnet was deleted The interior also carried a number of subtle improvements, with pleated leather door trim being a neat touch, as was the leather stitched gear selector and the option of Turbo R seats complete with fold down picnic tables in the rear.

After the motorsport success of the Sierra RS Cosworth, the final Sapphire version of which was due to cease production by the end of 1992, Ford went in a different direction for its next contender With a corporate eye on the ’93 World Rally Championship, the company developed

The latest front wheel drive CRX was as entertaining as its forebears, with the flagship model boasting Honda’s 1595cc twin cam V TEC engine pumping out 158bhp in this guise to provide a 132mph top speed Strangely, the third generation CRX failed to capture the imagination of British enthusiasts in quite the same way as its predecessors, perhaps because it was less practical thanks to its tight two seater cabin and tiny boot But on today’s moder n classic market, it’s rather more sought after and makes an interesting alter native to Toyota’s more successful (and therefore less exclusive) MR2

eventually retired from the Works rally team after the final round of 1998’s WRC season, with the following year seeing its Focus based successor taking over

Despite the fact that the SZ family of Rolls Royce and Bentley models wasn’t exactly box fresh by 1992, having been around for a full twelve years, the Brooklands was warmly received It remained in production for almost six years (finally replaced by the long awaited new Ar nage in 1998) and managed to attract 1719 buyers globally during that time with 190 of them opting for the significantly more expensive long wheelbase derivative

MAZDA XEDOS 6

Created under the guidance of Ford’s SVO department, the styling was finalised during 1989 a year before the standard Escort was launched by MGA Developments of Coventry Changes were also made to the car’s engine management system, and a new Garrett turbocharger was fitted Permanent four wheel drive with a 34/66 per cent front/rear split came via an uprated five speed gearbox from the Sierra Cosworth

After two generations of Civic based CRX fastback coupes, Honda went for a rather more radical style with its 1992 on Mk3 range, which featured a low slung three box profile with distinctive rear buttresses And it also brought with it a removable aluminium roof that was electrically operated on the most expensive versions For the first time, CRX buyers could now experience open air fun

As Japanese manufacturers pushed their more upmarket offerings in an attempt to beat the Germans at their own game, Mazda decided to have a bash at the compact executive sector that for years had been dominated by models like the BMW 3 Series And so along came the front wheel drive Xedos 6 in 1992, a ▲

BENTLEY BROOKLANDS

FORD ESCORT RS COSWORTH

The two door coupe version of the Rover 800 was always a rare sight

inevitable that Rover would want to build momentum with the launch of the second generation 800 range, planned for 1991

It was a great shame that a car as rewarding to drive as the Xedos 6 should be such a rare sight Launched in 2 0 litre V6 guise (with a 1 6 litre four cylinder arriving later), the Xedos 6 was a high revving gem with 144bhp at its disposal Not only did it offer superb performance, it came with one of the best engine soundtracks of its generation

In the same way that Toyota had Lexus as its prestige division, Mazda saw potential for the Eunos brand (already established via the Eunos Roadster, the Japanese spec version of the Mazda MX 5), hence the Xedos 6 being badged as the Eunos 500 in Japan and Australia In Europe, however, it would be sold as a Mazda, hitting the market in ’92 and remaining on sale for seven years during which time just 72,000 examples managed to find European buyers

a genuinely fun experience on a winding B road Where the old Micra had been anything but entertaining, the newcomer could surprise even the most cynical of drivers

ROVER 800 COUPE

A mid life facelift helped the long running K11 to remain competitive.

To give the new line up even more American appeal, Rover designers started work on a two door coupe version, complementing the anticipated four door saloons and five door hatches It was a plan that made sense, as executive style two door coupes were big business in the USA But then disaster struck: sales of the existing (Sterling) 800 were proving so disastrous that Rover had little alter native but to pull the plug on American sales altogether by 1991, the same year that the second generation line up was launched in Britain

This car was fresh from the ground up, with fuel injected 1 0 and 1 3 litre powerplants that were clean sheet in their design, featuring 16 valve technology and impressive outputs of 54 and 74bhp respectively The engines were silky smooth in terms of power delivery, ensuring the Micra was one of the most refined superminis of the early ’90s And even the 1 0 litre version felt surprisingly quick, aided by the kind of agility that made for

Nissan’s ageing first generation Micra was finally phased out in 1992, replaced by another supermini bearing the same name In reality, however, the latest Micra known inter nally as the K11 generation was a huge leap forward from its rather dated predecessor For starters, its styling was bang on trend, with curvaceous good looks that made many of its older rivals suddenly seem behind the times But the biggest advance could be found under the new Micra’s bonnet

Rover then had the choice of either scrapping the 800 Coupe or putting it into limited production for European consumption and happily it chose the latter route, launching the handsome two door as a bespoke machine, claiming that around 80 per cent of the car was finished by hand This meant, however, that the 800 Coupe was mightily expensive, costing over £30,000 at which level it was competing against Jaguars and upmarket Mercedes coupes

The motoring press couldn’t get over this, only praising the 800 Coupe once Rover saw sense and began reducing prices, as well as expanding the range via a 200bhp, 2 0 litre Turbo version to complement the existing 2 7 V6 Nevertheless, the 800 Coupe remained a rare sight when new, appealing to far fewer buyers than its four and five door siblings

Throw into the mix the Xedos 6’s sensationally sleek styling (we’d argue it’s one of the best looking saloons of the ’90s) and excellent build quality, and you have a compact exec that was genuinely desirable to those few buyers who craved something less predictable than a German built saloon with a posh badge

The first generation Rover 800 series of 1986 had been responsible for the marque’s retur n to the American market, albeit using the newly invented Sterling brand name to differentiate itself from previous Rover sales disasters over there And so it was

model that promised so much and initially attracted plenty of praise from Britain’s motoring press

NISSAN MICRA ‘K11’

So good was the K11 Micra, it took top honours in the 1993 European Car of the Year award, pushing the Fiat Cinquecento into second place More important for the UK, however, was the Micra’s role as the latest product from Nissan’s Sunderland plant, with healthy export sales from day one Indeed, so impressive was the new British built Micra, it remained on sale with only fairly minor updates for an entire decade

Combining the qualities of an estate car and a sports car seems an unlikely recipe, and yet it’s resulted in some brilliant all-rounders over the years – including this particular threesome

than its predecessor, and was intended more as an executive car targeting company directors than dedicated sports car enthusiasts This was short lived though, with the SE6A quickly bringing new brakes and other minor revisions in 1976 The final Scimitar GTE to be built by Reliant was the SE6B, which saw the replacement of the old Essex V6 with the new 2 8 litre Cologne unit as seen in the contemporary Granada and Capri models These later cars may seem less powerful on paper but they’re smoother and more rev happy, bringing back an element of the sporting nature that had made the early Scimitars such an appealing prospect

The attributes didn’t end on paper All Scimitars can feel tight for the larger driver (while the later SE6 was wider, the extra width was in the centre console), but once you’re in they have comfortable seats and a good ride

for a sports car There’s plenty of poke, and it’s easy to have fun with the handling courtesy of the car’s progressive grip and long wheelbase The dashboards are clear and well laid out, and the styling while always a matter of taste has almost more fans than any other classic shape With a GRP body, the only rust risk should be in the chassis and even then, the last SE6Bs and subsequent Middlebridge models had galvanised chassis to obviate that issue

TOP SPEED: 123mph

and for what they offer in terms of performance, Scimitars aren’t even especially heavy on fuel Even from an automatic, 25mpg ought to be possible if you’re gentle on a long run

There are five basic eras of Scimitar GTE upon which we should focus our attention or six if you include the Middlebridge cars The first GTE was the SE5, launched in 1968 and developed from the Ogle GTS as a more practical take on the sports car theme The SE5A brought a new dashboard and an extra seven horsepower from 1972 For 1975 there was a new body the SE6, which was longer, wider and softer

The Scimitar GTE might have been the answer to a question very few people were asking, but it was such a good concept that it endured beyond the end of its own production, joining the ranks of the Avanti and Jensen Interceptor in being reimagined after its death by a new manufacturer And it’s not hard to see why; a sensible Ford V6 engine, space for four and a useful boot was good, optional automatic transmission was even better, as was the undeniable credibility of being used both by the husband and daughter of our monarch A better public endorsement was hard to find in the 1960s and ’70s

RELIANT SCIMITAR GTE

Apart from the risk of a rotten chassis on early examples (and let’s be honest, if you’re careful when buying, this shouldn’t be an issue), there really isn’t one

The best bit is that the Scimitar has always been an excellent value classic car, with rough SE6s still attainable with a budget of just £2000 Those sorts of cars have gone up by only about 10 per cent in the last decade, meaning that in real terms against inflation there has never been a better time to buy one However, the very best have risen in the same period by as much as 50 per cent, meaning that if you’re canny about how you buy a Scimitar you can even make money in the long term With good examples still under the magic £10,000 ceiling today, it’s a better investment than a savings account and far more fun into the bargain

The GTE is a pretty, family friendly classic that’s fun to drive, affordable and offers investment potential if you buy the right example There are plenty of cars and enthusiasts out there to help you keep it going It’s cheap to run, seats the whole family and will also take luggage if you need it to You won’t even be fighting eter nal rust in the arches or door bottoms, meaning more time to get out on to the open road and enjoy the car for what it is Could this be the ultimate practical family classic?

most expensive car of our trio, with the very nicest examples selling now for somewhere in the region of £26,000 But with the best P1800 coupes commanding considerably north of £30,000, the ES offers Volvo enthusiasts a way to have their cake and eat it, by giving the most usable and up to date 1800 the greatest level of practicality and the lowest price And P1800 based cars are hot property, having tripled in value in the last decade and

New engines followed in November, in 1 6 and 2.0 litre sizes. Automatic transmission and power steering joined the options list for 1978, while in ’79 we were informed that the initials now stood for High Powered Executive Fuel injection was offered on the 2 0 from 1981, and in ’84 a Volumex supercharged option became available The latter would be short lived, however, as Beta production would cease that year So, why do you want one?

It seems odd that Volvo, having ear ned its reputation on the strength of its estate cars, saved the most practical variant of the P1800 until last But then, it took the Reliant Scimitar to invent the genre, and Volvo recognised this was a bandwagon worthy of additional riders Effectively, it took the by then decade old P1800 and replaced that swoopy Simon Templar roofline with slim pillars and plenty of glass, creating a shape that Volvo would retur n to in subsequent decades

While it’s perhaps not as sporting as a Scimitar, owing to mechanical parts lifted from the Volvo ‘Amazon’ and a driving experience that feels like a heavily revised 123GT as a result, it’s still an entertaining thing to motor about in Disc brakes all around mean it’s a sharp stopper, and the fuel injected engine offers poke beyond what you’d expect of just 2 0 litres The Volvo Owners’ Club and Volvo Enthusiasts’ Club will make running an 1800 easy enough too, given that the

It’ll take £12,000 to buy the best Volumex in the country today, and around £8000 for a really nice naturally aspirated HPE It may be harder to find panels for than the other two, but look at the package: the Beta coupe’s low slung driving position combined with

This Jaguar Mk2 is an older restoration That probably means it was fully restored in the boom times of the late 1980s, when the Mk2 was one of the darlings of the emerging classic car scene But that was well over 30 years ago, so it shouldn’t be surprising that the Jaguar was treated to new inner and outer sills in 2016, plus a recently refurbished fascia and rebuilt

restoration, the rest of this Mk2 still appears to be in fine condition As an early model with the 3 8 litre engine and the pre facelift bumpers, it already has a lot to recommend it Power steering, a manual gearbox and overdrive (reported to operate smoothly) add to the desirability, as does the fact that the front suspension was rebuilt with Gaz dampers and polybushes It also comes with reclining front seats, a choice of standard or Coombs style rear wheel spats and a Heritage Certificate

ROVER 600

We thought the 600 was an obvious counterpart to the Avensis, with both being Anglo Japanese creations While the Avensis was tailor made for British production, the 600 was effectively a reskinned Honda Accord That’s no bad thing, and the Rover styling and Honda engines certainly make it less anonymous both from the outside and behind the wheel

Once the tracking had been brought into spec and the perished Jinyu tyres on the front were replaced by rubber from the other side of the Sea of Japan, the Avensis still drove sweetly and had an amazingly supple yet well controlled ride of the sort that seems non existent in cars from the 2020s Zero mechanical maladies were reported and Jeff set to work restoring the cracked and faded bumpers and replacing the chipped and foggy headlamps, which didn’t render the Avensis anything like perfect but smartened it up for very little effort Jeff used the Toyota’s capacious boot to move the contents of a garage in one go, we took it on a full lap of the M25, and we then lent it to the Association of Heritage Engineers who put it in the hands of three apprentices for the Parallel Pomeroy driving test day None of this fazed the Avensis in the slightest

modern fare with nothing of interest or just an old crock to be run into the ground on a shoestring And the Avensis is objectively a much better, more usable car than the likes of those. In the not so distant future, we’ll be saying “Oh, you don’t see many of those now, do you?” at shows, while pointing at things like this Avensis Until that day arrives, for £1000 you get a practical and utterly dependable runabout that will reward some basic care and upkeep

Something of an unsung hero and now a rare sight, the second generation ‘P11’ Primera was also built in Britain and tailored to the European market With build quality and reliability almost on a par with the Toyota, the Primera’s star card was actually its handling Thanks to a full multi link rear suspension set up, it was deemed a class leader in this department

This is the one the Avensis had to beat in the company car parks After a decade of minimal effort fare, Ford became the standard bearer for the 1990s with the Mondeo, which offered zingy engines, a brilliant combination of ride and handling and a wide range of trim and body options The Avensis was specifically developed to meet the challenge of the Mondeo

n the face of it, this might be one of the blandest and least appealing cars we’ve ever put under our Sales Spotlight It’s a five door, mid size, Japanese family car of an age that awkwardly straddles the line between ‘old’ and ‘modern classic’, without enough distinguishing features to readily shove it into the latter It’s got an automatic gearbox It’s not even interesting enough to be one readily identifiable colour it’s a limp green/grey

It certainly lives up to its maker’s ideals We bought the Avensis last year as one of a pair of project 1990s repmobiles (the other was a Rover 600), and it was ‘gifted’ to Classic Car Mart editor Jeff Ruggles, with a hint of it being a booby prize But we were all pleasantly surprised Under its scuffed bumpers and badly repainted wheels, the Avensis was entirely solid After 25 years, the interior leather seats, wood trim, Sony double DIN stereo system and all was still immaculate The air conditioning still blew cold, every electrical item still worked

Avensis is unusual in being a Toyota specifically designed to be built and sold outside Japan In fact, it was specifically developed to be built solely in Toyota’s Burnaston factory, replacing the Carina E with a model tailored to European tastes, arguably making it more of a British car than any contemporary Ford or Vauxhall And this Avensis is not only from the ‘peak car’ era that period from the mid 1990s to the mid 2000s when cars reached high levels of reliability, refinement, safety and performance without growing into overweight, electronics laden pillboxes but arguably from the time of ‘peak Toyota’, when the company led the world when it came to turning out consistently reliable, long lived cars

and there wasn’t a squeak or rattle anywhere none of which applied to the Honda based Rover of similar age and mileage Speaking of which, 122,000 miles had also had no effect on the smoothness and soundness of the Toyota’s engine, nor its four speed automatic transmission

● Don’t get involved in any complex arrangements involving giv ing ‘change’ for a payment that’s more than your asking price, especially involving overseas buyers or transfers using methods such as Western Union these are almost always fraudulent

● Ensure you drive your car first to demonstrate controls (etc ) and then, once you are at a suitable place for the buyer to drive, get out, taking the keys with you, and hand them back only once you are back in the car

● Test drives need to be handled with care on the one hand it’s perfectly reasonable for a serious buyer to want to drive a car before buying, but you need to remain in control Make sure they are insured to drive your car too, bearing in mind that ‘driving other cars’ clauses on insurance policies normally cover only third party risks, not damage to your car

● Serious buyers will want to examine the car fully that’s fine and you should be prepared to answer fully and honestly any questions a buyer may have about the car Be wary though if they try to steer the conversation towards more general matters concerning you and your family Similarly, while a genuine enthu siast will probably be interested in your other cars, so will a would be burglar

● Do not accept a personal cheque from someone you do not know; there is no longer any guaranteed clearance time, and a cheque can now ‘bounce’ at any time even weeks after it’s been banked if it’s discovered to be forged

Email cars@kelseyclassifieds.co.uk or visit w w w.motor freeads.co.uk The overwhelming majority of car sellers and buyers are honest However as with everything else in life, there’s a tiny percentage that aren’t However it’s dead easy to protect yourself from fraud sters by using a bit of common sense

Stay Safe!

● Always arrange a specific time for viewings don’t accept vague ‘I may come sometime today’ type arrangements

ADVI C E F O R S E LLE RS

● Be very wary indeed of anyone calling and trying to sell your advertisement in another publication Such publications don’t al ways exist, and claimed distribution figures will often be vastly exaggerated Calls are also often recorded as ‘evidence’ of a binding contract

● Above all, trust your instincts! If something seems dodgy or not quite right to you, then there’s a good chance you’re right

● Stay safe! Don’t give a buyer your address until you know they are definitely coming to view Better still, give them the general location only at first and ask them to phone for the full address once they are close

ADVI C E F O R B UYE RS Crooks sometimes adver tise cars that don’t exist solely to collect deposits from would be buyers

● Always check the chassis number/Vehicle Identiﬁcation Number (VI N) on the reg istration document matches that on the car A proper data check is also essential to avoid buying a car that’s stolen or an undisclosed insurance write oﬀ

● Always view the car at the seller ’s home address If they want to meet you in a car park or bring the car to you they may be trying to prevent you ﬁnding them again.

Stay Safe!

● Star t by asking ‘is the car for sale?’ If the seller is a trader pretending to sell privately, they will need to ask you ‘which one?’ ● Be suspicious of a car that seems cheaper than it should be; if something seems too good to be true then it probably is. ● Be wary of sellers who can only be contacted via a mobile phone or an easy to obtain email address such as hotmail or gmail. They may ‘disappear ’ once they have your money. ● Ask lots of speciﬁc questions about speciﬁc model weaknesses such as “is there any rust around the headlights”, and listen carefully to the answers; do they actually have the car? ● Never, ever send anyone money for a car that you have not seen

● No reg istration document? Don’t accept excuses, don’t buy the car!
