    EV or Not EV?

    At the weekend I was speaking to an executive who represents a large Chinese EV manufacturer - one that bought a defunct and historic name but which is now in no way associated now with the previous sporting image.

    Car of the week

    It is beautiful. Buy it; much less expensive to maintain than the V12 which gets so hot under the bonnet that it fries the wiring loom. Please buy it!

    Annual road trip
