2025 Aston Martin Vantage Roadster | PH Review

3 days ago | pistonheads.com | Nic Cackett

Given where Aston Martin is at the moment - and where we’ve been told it’s going - it’s tempting to look past the launch of the more familiar derivatives, and imagine what the firm might do to spice them up a little later in the lifecycle.

VW Golf GTI Mk1 | PH Auction Block

4 days ago | pistonheads.com | Matt Bird

It’s always nice to see just a few owners associated with a car for sale. It’s not the be-all and end-all, of course, but having a couple of people keep something for a good few years between them - rather than being passed from pillar to post - is reassuring. They will know the car, have learned its quirks, and presumably have cared for something they’ve long enjoyed. Services don’t tend to be skipped, for example, when keeping a car for years.
Higher mileage bargains | Six of the Best

5 days ago | pistonheads.com | Matt Bird

We all know the temptation of a higher mileage motor. Some of us will have taken the chance and come out smelling (mostly) of roses. When it all goes well, when a car has been maintained properly and money spent where required, it can be a smart way into great cars for less money. Nothing spooks the average car buyer like a six-figure mileage. But when it goes wrong, and more cash ends up being spent than would have bought a regular example, you feel a bit silly. All part of the used car fun.
Aston Martin Vantage Volante V600 | PH Heroes

5 days ago | pistonheads.com | Matt Bird

You know how it goes with an end-of-an-era special edition these days. There’ll be a social media teaser campaign, a lavish launch video, a luxuriant press release that extends into many thousands of words and lots of disappointed customers who didn’t get an allocation. Whether it’s the final manual, last combustion engine or the retirement of a nameplate, a similar sort of frenzy is whipped up every single time. The very opposite was true when this car was made.

BMW 325ti (E46) | PH Fleet

6 days ago | pistonheads.com | Matt Bird

Recently, I haven’t had the best luck when it comes to clutches. Promise I’m not a car killer - at least I hope not. But having spent c. £1,500 having the clutch and flywheel changed on the Mini last year, it cooked a head gasket a matter of weeks later. I sold it for a third of that clutch change cost, which still hurts. Now I’ve spent the same again doing an identical job on the Compact.
Skoda debuts new 340hp Enyaq vRS

6 days ago | pistonheads.com | Matt Bird

Skoda has updated its Enyaq SUV and Enyaq Coupe vRS models, with ever so slightly quicker acceleration, a fresh look to bring it in line with the rest of the range, and a pair of new interior design themes. Look elsewhere for crazy EV thrills, but those endeared by the Skoda vRS take on pragmatic performance motoring might find something to like here. Especially as this is now the fastest accelerating Skoda ever, Enyaq tying with smaller vRS Elroq at 5.4 seconds to 62mph.
Automobili Mignatta Rina evokes 60s V8 roadsters

6 days ago | pistonheads.com | Matt Bird

From De Tomaso Pantera to Bizzarrini 5300 GT, there’s a long and illustrious history of beautiful Italian sports cars being motored along with thunderous Yank tank V8s. Now there’s another: the Automobili Mignatta Rina. Its maker suggests the 60s-inspired speedster ‘aims to deliver unparalleled driving pleasure.’ It’ll do that partly thanks to the inclusion of a carbon monocoque; the Rina may be old school in ethos, but it’s packing some of the latest chassis technology.
Mercedes E320 CDI (W211) | Shed of the Week

6 days ago | pistonheads.com | Tony Middlehurst

If you’re one of the eight people on the planet who haven’t seen Star Wars, this week’s Shed is Luke Skywalker’s T-65B X-wing Starfighter. Oh all right then, it’s actually a 2006 Mercedes W211 E320 CDI Sport, a charity auction item for St Helena, which Shed thinks is a hospice in Essex. That tallies with the dealer’s location in Manningtree. This is where earthly geography ends because this car is from another dimension, one possibly fuelled by lager.
