“Hello, is that Gordon Mulvey at Truro Garages?
We’ll be there in an hour with cash for that Matra Rancho.
Chuck in some mats and flaps, will ya? Maybe a pasty for the road, too.”

@CustomCvd Superb!

If Petrolblog did safety cars… it’d be a Renault Laguna Coupé.

Marvellous, isn't it?

2002, somewhere scenic. Lake Geneva, probably.
Either way, Honda lined up every Civic you wish you hadn’t ignored.

Last week of the summer hols, late 1980s: a Renault 21 Nevada/Savanna, boiled sweets in the carpet, a dog that definitely wasn’t staying in the boot, Simon Bates’ Our Tune on the radio – and the certain prospect of congestion on the A303 at Stonehenge.

Unlikely Car of the Week is back – and it’s a Suzuki Baleno GSR. One of 600 built, quicker than a Golf GTI, yet anonymous enough to get you mistaken for the loo cleaner at a car show.

#Petrolspot: Chevrolet Matiz.
The Fiat 500 that never was.
The Pontiac nobody asked for.
Designed by Giugiaro. Respect.

Red sky at night, shepherd’s delight.
Red sky in the morning, shepherd’s warning that you should enjoy your French car while it’s still working.
