When is a Banger not a Banger? When it’s Unexceptional, of Course | Hagerty UK

2 weeks ago | hagerty.co.uk | Nik Berg

Stroll through the fields of Grimsthorpe Castle at the Festival of the Unexceptional on 26 July this year and you could be forgiven for thinking it was a 1990s’ railway station car park. Thousands of ordinary automobiles, commuter cars, repmobiles and family motors of the 70s, 80s and 90s are parked close (but not door ding close) to each other, while in front of the castle itself dozens more vie for prizes in the Concours de l’Ordinaire. How much is your car to insure?
BMW Builds First Ever M3 CS Touring

2 months ago | hagerty.co.uk | Nik Berg

Lighter, stiffer, faster and even more agile, that’s the promise of the M3 CS Touring. Carbon fibre replaces sheet metal for the bonnet, while the composite material is also used for the front splitter and air intakes, mirror caps and rear diffuser. M Carbon bucket seats are installed and there’s more carbon for shift paddles and interior trim. It all adds up to a weight saving of 20kg. How much is your car to insure? Find out in four easy steps.
Why I’d Rather Share the Road with Reindeer

Nov 27, 2024 | hagerty.co.uk | Charlotte Vowden |Stefan Lombard

Hundreds of thousands of reindeer roam freely in Norway. I met quite a few of them during an expedition to Nordkapp last summer in my MGA. Mooching nonchalantly along the tarmac, often pausing lackadaisically to take five, herds took little heed of my ’60s roadster as we made acquaintance on the manmade routes that cut through home. Majestic, blasé, and in no hurry at all, I would wait patiently for them to move along.
Jaguar Needs a Miracle. Is This It? | Hagerty UK

Nov 21, 2024 | hagerty.co.uk | Stefan Lombard

It’s going to take more than reinvention for Jaguar to survive, argues James Mills. It's going to take a miracle.
Are BMW E39s the Best Buy in V8 Stick-Shift Saloons?

Nov 11, 2024 | hagerty.co.uk | Rob Sass |Stefan Lombard

Even in a softening collector car market, bargains are few and far between at the moment. And if you have an itch for a V8, manual-transmission super-saloon, good luck scratching it. There just aren’t many contemporary ones around these days. Go back a couple decades or so, though, and you’ll arrive at BMW: The 1996–2003 BMW E39 540i manual remains both surprisingly affordable and not all-that-difficult to find. In fact, it might be one of the best bargains in the collector car world at the moment.
Forget Focus Groups – A Maverick with an Idea Is the Only Way to Make Interesting Cars | Hagerty UK

Nov 7, 2024 | hagerty.co.uk | James L Mills |Stefan Lombard

Have you ever sat in on a focus group about cars? I did once, and within a few minutes I would have given anything to make a bid for freedom and the nearest pub. It’s several hours of ill-informed people talking over each other, until the loudest, most monotonous person in the room grinds everyone else down to the point where they nod and agree with everything they say – just so they can escape, for the nearest pub. These people don’t realise they are born with two ears and one mouth.
Italian Style for Less than £20K? Try These 5

Oct 25, 2024 | hagerty.co.uk | Nathan Chadwick |Stefan Lombard

It’s often said that if the car you own doesn’t cause you to turn around and simply stare at it after walking away, then perhaps it’s not quite the car for you. Those who savour either a fine-tuned chassis or spectacular engine over anything else might disagree with that point, but when it comes to style the Italians simply have a knack for it that few nations come close to emulating. How much is your car to insure? Find out in four easy steps.
Want a Cheap, Fun Classic? Go Small, ’90s, and Basic

Sep 13, 2024 | hagerty.co.uk | Paul Cowland |Stefan Lombard

I have written on these fine pages many times about how cars of the 1990s are perhaps the only cars you’ll ever need, and how, perhaps more than that, the ultimate transport solution would be a 1995 Renault Clio. I never really expect any of you to listen to my ramblings on such things, of course. Allegedly, I’m here to entertain you, so any useful consumer advice that happens to come from these columns is purely coincidental, I can assure you.
Among Faltering Ferraris, This £6.1M Ford GT40 Shone through at Monterey

Aug 23, 2024 | hagerty.co.uk | Greg Ingold |Bryan Gerould

When the last gavel fell on the last car at this year’s Monterey auctions, we crunched the numbers. In short, it appears that the market for high-dollar cars has turned a corner after a long hot streak. Even with some high-dollar sales for exceptional cars, including the first Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider, which sold for £13,260,955, and a 1938 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Lungo Spider that brought £10,908,900, the top of the market does not look particularly bright.
