Elsewhere this week, Jaguar was seen getting a $670 million loan from the British government to help support EV development. This is a government that might not ever let it die, given how important Jaguar Land Rover is to the UK’s sense of national pride, or at least that of Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond.

This won’t give Red Bull any direct advantage although it might mitigate the potential issues in quality control on Red Bull building the engines themselves.

Ferrari 348 to 355. They gave it a new name and engine but’s it’s a heavy facelift rather than a whole new car.

I wonder with the current trend for ‘safari’ style lifted sportscars whether this might be cool to certain hipsters but anyway ND.

Tesla will adopt the Ferrari tactic of an entry level Tesla is a second hand one.

Any car that you’re thinking of buying purely because you think it might be a good investment. Car’s are so rarely a good investment especially once you add in holding costs.

10 Predictions for an unpredictable season

I’m sure Red Bull’s patronage of Loeb will have some say in whether or not he does more WRC rallies this season.

As a 1990 model it would normally have the sills and front and rear valances painted black. They came body colour on later years.  Think from a asking price point of view this is NP, but the dealer blurb after an initial text indicating it is a private sale is a bit of a yellow flag for me.

Makes sense when I owned mine most S2's were just reaching the age and mileage that the tensioner problem was starting to manifest. 

I’d take mine, it’s old but it’s still a great GT car and crushes fast open roads and the 174mph top end it more than enough.

I’ve been half looking at the market for 107 Mercs lately although more for the coupe SLC version. I’m guessing that in reasonable driving condition this would be $12k plus right now. I’m going with NP subject to inspection to determine if it truly is rust free especially as I assume chrome arch caps are always added …

When it was a fuel station that site had 6 pumps (plus a couple of parking spaces for those not wanting fuel), so they have squeezed more ‘filling spaces’ out of the same footprint. Being in London with the convenience store attached they probably already get 50% of the custom for the shop from walk ins rather than…

I had one of these (as a coupe) about 15 years ago and it has the same miles then as the indicated miles on this now. The S2 had an unusual setup using both a cam belt and a cam chain. The chain tensioner can fail at around 100k if it has not be changed. Same with the belts and rollers if not changed regularly (every…

If it were today she would have had at least some protection from the halo. Her accident along with Bianchi’s, Plus Justin Wilson’s Indycar accident all contributed to the halo / aeroscreens we see on open wheel race cars now.

That’s not a new think though the Lamborghini Miura has fake exhaust tips back in the 60's.

The race was for pre 66 cars so they would be for the 283ci Mk1 cars. The 427 Mk II’s also have very different sheet metal at the rear to account for the much bigger engine. The MKII with the 427 is a pretty rare beast I think only around 10-15 were built compared to around 85 Mk1's. They actually built enough Mk1's to…

I was there and it was great to watch. Not sure all the GT40's were equal though. Some of the faster ones had notably different engine notes and were clearly revving much higher.
