Name the car.

Bonnet vents, sharp angles and a healthy dose of wedge-era drama.

This is from a British sports car that never knowingly took the sensible route.

Read all about how these vans changed the world quietly, because that’s what vans do.

They don’t pose. They turn up, carry things, feed people, move families, support businesses and occasionally become beloved despite smelling faintly of oil, cardboard and old carpet.

Summer is peak season for classic car enjoyment, but warmer weather can also reveal hidden issues. Keeping an eye on cooling systems, tyre pressures and the impact of potholes can make the difference between a memorable drive and an unexpected stop at the roadside. A quick check before heading out is often all it takes.

1. Keep an eye on engine temperature
2. Check tyre pressures
3. Avoid potholes
4. Look after the battery
5. Check fluids before every drive

Probably the best excuse you’ll need to go for a drive - regular use helps circulate fluids, keep seals lubricated, charges the battery and enables you to spot issues early.

Classics generally prefer being driven than sitting still!

Guess the car:

Before digital dashboards and oversized grilles, this understated saloon quietly introduced a new chapter for its maker. Launched in the early 1970s with crisp lines, sensible engineering and enough chrome to catch the light outside a suburban showroom, it became the dependable companion of company reps, practical families and motorway mile-eaters alike.

Not flashy, not loud — but the sort of car that earned respect by simply starting every morning. Bonus clue?

Its badge would later become one of the most famous names in touring car racing history.

The gentleman’s express is a wonderful thing.

Fast enough to cross countries at pace, comfortable enough to arrive looking vaguely human, and restrained enough not to shout about it.

From Bentley’s R-Type Continental to the Jaguar XJ12, Mercedes 450SEL 6.9 and Bentley Turbo R, we’ve looked at the cars that made effortless progress an art form.

Name the car.

That wide rear deck, black engine-cover slats and a very deliberate flash of red…

Few cars wear their 1980s supercar theatre quite so proudly.
