We’ve been waiting a while now for the V12 Vantage S to be fitted with a manual gearbox. Aston Martin has finally listened and it has arrived. Thankfully, the great guys over at Carfection have taken the time to really get to grips with this stunning piece of metal and the video is well worth […]
A pair of socks, a set of hankies or a ticket to a feast of classic motoring… which would the petrolhead in your family really appreciate this Christmas? If, as we suspect, it’s the latter then we have the answer. It’s the inaugural London Classic Car Show, and it will offer sights and sounds guaranteed […]
Thankfully, not all cars are created equally. Aston Martin is a marque that makes motors like no other. More refined GT than supercar, Aston produces some of the most elegant cars manufactured in the world today. However, The 2015 Aston Martin V12 Vantage S is a car that breaks the mould in that it is […]
Over the last 28 years, the Italian Car Day at Brooklands (run by Ginger Beer Promotions) has become established as the UK’s premier event for owners and admirers of Italian cars. The great thing about the Italian Car Day is that you never know exactly what you will see, but it is always spectacular – […]
For the third year in a row, the world renowned marque Ferrari has won the prestigious International Engine of the Year Awards, this time with the company’s naturally-aspirated 6262cc V12.

This is not just any car – this is the Aston Martin Rapide. Could you think of anything more wonderful to be blasting along the countryside in? Granted, it may not be made in England (it’s actually built in Austria), but the history, lineage, performance and beauty is all there. Or perhaps the ‘Power, Beauty, […]
Whilst I was away, the Le Mans 24 Hours race was taking place. Audi and Peugeot have previously fought tooth and nail for position at the front of the grid, especially as recent rules have favoured diesel engines. This has meant that both teams have fielded extraordinarily powerful LMP (Le Mans Prototypes) that feature engines […]
