Just love this 1954 Alfa Romeo AR51 being auctioned by @Historics next weekend. Much cooler than a Series I Landie, and one of only three believed to be in the UK... #alfaromeo #4x4

Over the moon to win the Motoring Editor of the Year award in tonight's @bsmeinfo awards. My wonderful wife @NatSimister is currently in hospital so I've not been able to head down to London for the ceremony, but this definitely cheered both of us up!

#SouthportTogether

[Classic Car Weekly @ClassicCarWkly]

All of us at CCW were shocked and appalled by the terrible events in #Southport earlier this week.

That's why we've decided to team up with Aintree Circuit Club to raise funds at the Southport Classic & Speed show for the families and affected...

Heartbroken and horrified by what happened in Southport earlier today. As a parent and a Sandgrounder my thoughts are with all those affected by this tragic event ☹️

We've got a great selection starting to rock up for the first Coffee & Cars Wythall event. Keep an eye out for a full report in CCW...

[Classic Car Weekly @ClassicCarWkly]

We’re over the moon with the latest news! Automotive Consumer Publication in the #NewspressAwards2024 A glowing report on the title and the excellent work of our team putting it together week in week out!

@spinal_capped Good thing I went to the @BMMuseum over the weekend!

[David Simister @David_Simister]

Hey @AvantiWestCoast, any chance you can make your on-board WiFi as fast as your trains?

It's pretty much unusable on the 09:30 out of Euston, sadly...

[Classic Car Weekly @ClassicCarWkly]

We have a packed issue out this week including a fitting tribute to the late Harris Mann.

Further to that, we have a packed spread of news, a dive into 50 years of Caterham, a buying guide for the Daimler V8 and a preview of this weekend’s Silverstone Festival.

Get yours now!

[David Simister @David_Simister]

My whip last weekend. Very much enjoyed the Jeep Compass 4xe's looks, comfort, and bags of character, but rather less enamoured by the fidgety ride, dim-witted auto, lack of boot space and £43k price tag...

[Classic Car Weekly @ClassicCarWkly]

Our latest issue is out and we’re getting set for the August Bank Holiday with a bumper issue!

Rammed with adventures, tips, books, roads, buys and your stories, there’s plenty to enjoy in this latest edition: so be sure to grab a copy now!

STOLEN - PLEASE SHARE ⚠️

This Sierra Sapphire Cosworth was stolen, along with van & trailer from the Hilton in Doncaster yesterday at 2am.

Most worryingly, the rig was in a ‘secure’ car park with a security barrier & CCTV.

If you see or hear anything, please call the police!

The North. Coffee. Steam locomotives. Real ale. My kinda day out...

[David Simister @David_Simister]

Taking a day off from cars. Today's wheels...

[David Simister @David_Simister]

And the winner of today's needlessly sustained injury is...me. Don't leave cans of drink in cars on hot days, kids...
