ROBIN FLETCHER ON THE BEAT • BIO: Welcome to journalist and editor Robin Fletcher, who is our newest columnist. Robin has never worked in the motor trade, but he loves cars, has driven in 12 different countries and once changed the front brake pads on his first Metro

DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE • Displayed at the 1964 Earls Court Motor Show, this Rover 2000 enjoyed a week of fame before vanishing into obscurity until owner Richard Singleton discovered its remarkable back story

ELITE CLASS • The Elite was an ambitious move upmarket for the fledgling Lotus firm and quality issues meant few have survived. We meet an arresting example still in daily use in London

TAKING A GAMBLE • Roger Pope made all the classic mistakes when he bid on a Marcos Mantara late one night, but as he explains to Simon Goldsworthy, all's well that ends well

UNSUNG HERO • After 30 years with a 924, David Kirby is more qualified than most to tell you what the first water-cooled Porsche is like as an ownership prospect

SPIT AND POLISH • The six-pot GT6 makes a case for itself as a junior E-Type and even has the Le Mans heritage to back it up

Well-equipped workshop!

Blowing off the dust

Xantia screenwash repairs and a CX parts haul

EURO VISION • After 30 years and 135,000 miles, CW‘s resident BMW fan takes his 1994 318Ti back to its Bavarian birthplace

PROJECT MARINA • With all the welding repairs completed and the paint matched, we can crack on with preparing and spraying the car.

MORRIS TRAVELLER • The car that set the classic car scene in motion, the Morris Minor remains one of the most accessible classics and the Traveller is the most practical of them all.

UNDERSTATED EXCELLENCE • Rover's first postwar design, the P4 combined traditional Rover quality with a bold new style

Driving them

Buying the P4

FROM THE ARCHIVES • As Stellantis wields the axe, we trawl the archives for the products of Vauxhall's Luton plant

THE EGAN MIRACLE • As Jaguar stumbles, we revisit the era in which Jaguar was transformed from BL subsidiary to billion-pound brand.

The TRUTH about… The Austin Maxi LANDCRAB LITE • The first car to be launched by the newly formed British Leyland and Britain's first proper hatchback, the Maxi in theory had what it took to beat the new wave of European competitors

MODERN CLASSICS AT AUCTION • Auction houses are awash with cars from the 1990s and 2000s sitting on the cusp of collectability. Here are some that caught our eye recently

FABULOUSLY FRENCH • The three-door Citroën C4 is a design masterpiece and eminently collectable, especially in rare Loeb Edition guise

LIVING LEGEND • Few homologation specials are as iconic as the E30 BMW M3, which remains one of the company's best-ever sports saloons. Presented here in immaculate concours form,...
