DIMINUTIVE DELIGHT RETURNS
Sep 14th
Back in 1991, famed designer, Peter Stevens, created the Barchetta 595, a deliciously beautiful take on a Fiat 500 with the roof cut-off, a proper ‘speedster’ style device. It was sold via the Dove Motor Company and about 10 were produced.
Although un-doubtedly a beautiful thing, at 24K the price was a bit steep. We are talking 25-years ago, after all.
Since them several takes on the theme have appeared but the original went to ground thought lost. Well, thanks to a Shropshire-based company run by Mark Hill, that’s about to change as it’s about to make a comeback.
It’s early days yet More >
A THING OF SHEER BEAUTY
Sep 14th
Caterham Cars has built a variant of its iconic Seven that was seemingly planned in the mid-1960s but never launched – the Caterham Seven Sprint.
As though dug up in a time capsule, the retro detailing of the Caterham Seven Sprint will delight Seven purists and provides the perfect scene-setter to the brand’s ‘60 years of the Seven’ anniversary, which will be celebrated next year.
The Sprint, priced from £27,995, is finally available to order after the car was launched at the Goodwood Revival, a fittingly retro setting for a car with one wheel firmly planted in the sixties.

I LOVE A BIT OF HARD ROCK
Sep 14th
FOLIATEC®.com is due to launch Hard Rock Liner at Automechhanikla in Frankfurt and it’s quite a product to say the least.
It was developed as a removable pick-up bed treatment that could protect the underlying paintwork but be peeled-off when required; however, Foliatec has ideas far beyond the original purpose.
The special primer makes Hard Rock Liner removable. Apply it without the primer and it will stick like – well, a pick-up bed paint.
Hard Rock Liner can also be used to protect sills and under wheel arches, either permanently or, on show cars and concours classics, it can provide protection while you More >
