595 REASONS …TO LOVE THIS
Jan 18th
Great to see the marvellous 595S take its bow at last weekend’s Autosport International.
I’m LOVING this
We’ve been following the little car’s gestation period over the last couple of years and know full well the efforts, blood, sweat and tears that Bespoke Vehicle Developments’ boss Mark Hill and his partner Shelley have poured into the project.
If it looks familiar that’s because Mark acquired the rights to the 595 Barchetta designed by Professor Peter Stevens in the nineties and marketed for a time by the Dove Motor Company. Originally, it was based understandably enough on a cut-down Fiat 126 platform.
Although visually similar, More >

SAFETY DEVICE
Jan 18th
The AlcoSense Ultra uses exactly the same professional 200mm2 fuel cell alcohol sensor as several UK, US and European Police breathalysers, taking accuracy, features and ease of use to a new level and is the culmination of three years of research and development.
