The WR1 celebrates Petter Solberg winning the 2003 World Rally Championship title. It was loosely based on the STi but power was increased to 316bhp thanks to exhaust and ECU mods. The WR1 also featured a few cosmetic mods to distinguish it from the other scooby's...

Road Test: 1991 TVR S3 TVR introduced the S in the mid 1980's to try and introduce a better value, more basic car. It was powered by the same 2.8 V6 from the Capri. The Series 2 changed to the larger 2.9 V6 that was also used in the XR4 & Granada. We're looking at the Series 3 this week, also powered by the 2.9 V6 but with a few styling changes over the previous version. These included a new da...

Road Test: 1978 Citroen 2CV A design brief was set in the 1930's for 'an umbrella on 4 wheels' that would allow small scale farmers to take their produce to markets, travelling across muddy fields and unpaved roads. Outbreak of war delayed the 2CV's development, it wasn't unveiled until the 1948 Paris Motor Show, hitting production soon after. Production ended in 1990, by then 8,756,688 2CVs ha...

Road Test: 2007 Fiat Panda 100HP The Fiat Panda is known as the Italian 'peoples car', often frequenting town roads and car parks. You're less likely to see this version however, as there are less than 2,000 registered on the UK roads. The 100HP was produced between 2006 and 2010, selling for less than £10k new. Tighter emission regulations meant production didn't last longer. Looks: The 100HP ...

Road Test: 1995 Caterham 7 Supersport The Lotus 7 was born in 1957; the car perfectly adheres to Colin Chapman's philosophy of "Adding power makes you faster on the straights, subtracting weight makes you faster everywhere." When production ended in 1972, a Lotus dealership called 'Caterham Cars' bought the design rights. Caterham has produced the Caterham 7 since 1973 in both built and kit for...

Get rid of the music and have the sound of the car....
Monaro CV8 bit diffent 2 the Monaro VXR ?
Great vid. buy one before they all get crashed and become properly rare , I've had two
I like that video and this song bring me back some good memories.
Ha, I used to own this car
would be much better with boxer noise instead of the music
Very nice video. Where does 0-60mph in 3.86sec come from?
ive had 130 out of mine.
Foo fighters?
just don't drive it in the wet....believe me! ;(
How come?
@@markl76 Mid engine, rear wheel drive, no assists, you can figure it out. You have to be careful or be experienced and ready to catch snap oversteer. Most people are not.
Some nice driving, can you tell me more about the spec of the car as I've just bought one and Blyton isn't too far from me.
Stock internals?
awesome video, fantastic car!
,nice car mate :)
Jusst come back for a drive in my black S3,it's not in that sort of condition though.Mine needs a bit of work.Nice vid.
they are as fragile as bacofoil but you can do 70mph when the engine is flat out and it wont blow up.
