The Incredible ULK

It had turned green, had an appropriate number plate and did something quite remarkable - what else were we going to call the new Retro Cars project car?

They Rebadged It, You Fool!

40 years ago, the UK waited with baited breath for the ‘British Car to Beat the World’. 20 years ago, Rover dealers were still trying to boot the last ones out of their showrooms. Ahead of its 40th birthday, we put the first and last Metros head-to-head

One Saved - On To The Next…

After last month’s mechanical woes, we’ve finally finished our MG ZS project car. Here’s our final instalment, followed by an all-new project

Reverting To Type

The S-TYPE was a huge car for Jaguar; the first model developed from the ground-up under Ford’s stewardship and its first mid-size executive car since the Mk2. Two decades on, how does it fare as a classic?

Knightsbridge Or Kensington?

Tempted by the Metro’s swansong? Here are two virtually unused examples for sale at the same dealership

360' Kickflip

This BMW E30 may appear relatively unassuming, but to the trained eye there are clues that all is not as it seems. No-one, however, will be expecting the self-styled 360i’s fi repower!

Copper Wink

When Kicker Audio decide to build a showcase for their latest speakers, they don’t mess about. This 1950 Studebaker is testament to the passion of a bunch of enthusiasts who didn’t want to just screw some speakers into yet another minivan…

Ade's Volvo 850

This month sees Ade sorting out up his Volvo with an awesome Kenwood headunit.

Take Five

Carlo de Grundt’s fifth-generation Skyline might not have a GT-R badge, but that doesn’t stop it from looking every bit as awesome as its ‘Hakosuka’ forefather...

Coupé De Grâce

Escobar’s '90s Civic coupé hides many surprises, each one developed to​ Edenilson deliver a killer blow…

X-Ceptional

Immaculate Signal Amber paint work, legendary X-Pack styling and a whacking great 24V Cossie V6, it’s hard to imagine any Capri being better than this…

Cat Power

We debated long and hard about which car would best represent the concept of the ultimate super-coupé.Then we realised that we’re idiots, as the answer was staring us straight in the face all along: the Jaguar XJ-S V12 HE. It’s got continent-munching ability and leather-lined swankiness baked right in…

Muscle for Hire

American muscle cars are just as popular on this side of the pond as they are in their homeland, though this ‘72 Dodge Challenger proves that actually building one in Europe is harder than it might seem!

Spruce Goose

“Go out and drive a Saab 900,” said Midge. “I’m going to stay here and have a brew.” Well, he didn’t have to tell me twice. My dad had a 900 Turbo when I was a kid (VLX 993X – I suspect it went to the great scrap yard in the sky long ago) which taught the 7 year-old me all I needed to know about boost gauges and hooligan thrust. Time to make a long-held dream come true with perhaps the ultimate Euro box…

French Slick

The engineers at Renault we’re once keen to slap a turbo on every one of their models in the 1980s. This little Le Car though, must be one of the rarest blown hatches ever… it could even be a sole survivor!

Rekord Breaker

This outstanding Rekord D nearly ended up on the scrapheap but, thanks to the dedication of Dennis Jensen, it’s now one of the best in the world!
