What makes this particular Pocher model all the more rare is that it is in black rather than red, with gold Speedline wheels. It has been photographed next to a 1:18 scale model to demonstrate the size, and the details on this Pocher model are superb. The doors, bonnet and rear clam all open to reveal scale sized engine, seats, steering wheel and even gauges! The model is complete with a scale sized key, and is in near perfect condition. A great display piece for the office of any Ferrari enthus

When the last 2-litre saloon left the Thames Ditton factory in 1958, AC were left without a car that offered more than two seats. In response to what was perceived as customer demand, as well as encouragement from Hubert Patthey, the racing driver and Swiss AC importer, work began under the direction of AC’s Chief Engineer, Alan Turner, on a 4-seat GT Coupé, the Greyhound. The first prototype was given an airing, as well as its competition debut, at an AC and Lagonda Owners Club Sprint at Brand

A car-starved Britain, still trundling around in perpendicular pre-war hangover vehicles, glimpsed the future in October 1948 with the launch of the Jaguar XK120 at the Earls Court Motor Show. Production commenced in 1949 in Coventry, and the XK's swoopy shape and stylish occupants would become a common sight on British roads over the next 15 years. It heralded the arrival of Jaguar's famous 3.4-litre twin overhead camshaft XK engine, (the basis of all their engines for the next 25 years) with a

For customers that missed out on the very limited production run of X180Rs, the Esprit 300 Sport was offered in 1993 and was essentially a road-going version of the American SCCA race cars. Styled by Julian Thompson, Lotus’ talented chief stylist, and originally shown as a concept at the Birmingham show in 1992, the Sport 300 was destined to be sold in a Limited Edition of just 50, however, in the end 64 cars were eventually built. At £64,995 the Sport 300 was a rare and very expensive commodity

The first of what was supposed to be a limited run of bicycles built by Cooper Bikes to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of Cooper Racecars. In the event it was the only one made. Aluminium frame, billet aluminium pedals, single-speed with beautiful dark green paintwork as a tribute to their winning colour scheme of the sixties.

The original Ford Sierra RS Cosworth was the first Ford to wear the Cosworth badge and was presented to the public at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1985. It was introduced as a means of homologating the Sierra for 'Group A' Touring Car racing, with a requirement that 5,000 cars were built and sold. Launched for sale in July 1986, and based on the three-door Sierra body-shell, it was designed by Ford's Special Vehicle Engineering (SVE) and was powered by a Cosworth-designed 2.0-litre turbo engin

Launched in 2003, the Rolls-Royce Phantom VII was the first Rolls-Royce developed and introduced after BMW purchased the right to use the Rolls-Royce name and logo in 1998. It is credited with successfully reviving the Rolls-Royce brand and restoring Rolls-Royce's credibility as a maker of luxury cars. Produced at a new factory near Goodwood in Sussex, the Phantom revived a great name from Rolls-Royce's past that had always been synonymous with unrestrained luxury. In keeping with the tradition

The F12 Berlinetta is the ultimate front-engined, rear-wheel drive Grand Tourer from Ferrari and made its debut at the 2012 Geneva show featuring one of Ferrrari’s last naturally-aspirated V12 6.3-litre engines which delivered 740bhp with an impressive 690 Nm of torque offering 0-62mph in just 3.1 seconds and a top speed of 211mph. In October 2015, Ferrari announced a limited-edition variant, the F12tdf, its nomenclature referencing a competition variant of the 250 GT, so named following the lat

The entirely new Ferrari 308 made its debut at the Paris Salon in 1975 and marked a welcome return to Pininfarina styling, with rakish lines and curved haunches. After ten years of huge success, particularly in the United States, Ferrari had grown weary of the “Federalisation” of their lovingly designed motorcars in America, with mandatory ugly rubber bumpers ruining the Pininfarina-penned lines. With their Italian aesthetics under attack, Ferrari launched the new 328 with body coloured front an

The final development of the four-cylinder, 2.2-litre turbocharged Esprit, the S4s (the factory used a small 's') was born from Lotus customers telling the company that they wanted their Esprit to be as fast as the ultra-quick and raw Sport 300 but with the comfort and flexibility of the standard S4. The obvious route of dropping the Sport 300 engine into an S4 was not the way Lotus chose to go so, despite the mere addition of one letter to the S4’s name, the S4s is a new Esprit in its own right

From a company that brought us the tiny Isetta bubble car, it seems hardly likely that one of their next creations would be a V8 powered GT car, however, in 1965 Renzo Rivolta did just that with the magnificent Iso Grifo. The Rivolta GT was Iso's first four-seater GT and the Grifo was based on a shortened Rivolta chassis, adapted to take a variety of American V8 engines, hoping to take the fight to the established leaders in the 'Grand Touring' segment. At launch, the Bertone-styled Grifo was co

Rightly hailed as a motoring icon and often named as the best British sports car ever produced, the Jaguar E-Type’s history has been told perhaps more often than any other car of the 20th century, and with that we dive straight into this car’s story. Chassis number 850112 left the factory on the 11th September 1961 finished in Carmen Red with a matching red interior, an unusual combination, topped with a black hood. As an early example, this would have been produced with the highly desirable fla

At its introduction in 1982, the Sierra's revolutionary new shape proved a touch more divisive than Ford had anticipated and some serious marketing became a priority, so it was the obvious choice to become the platform for Ford's new competition aspirations in conjunction with Cosworth. It fitted the brief well as it was rear-wheel drive, had good aerodynamics, albeit being prone to lift at high speeds and was available as a three-door. The new body kit and rear spoiler would sort out the lift i

The Ford Focus RS500 made its global debut at the Leipzig Motor Show on April 9th, 2010 and marked the final swansong for production of the remarkable, second generation, Focus RS. The new and more powerful, limited-edition Focus RS500 model was launched as the ultimate performance Ford to provide the definitive driving experience for serious performance car enthusiasts. The new model was given the RS500 designation to highlight its strictly limited production run of 500 individually-numbered ve

That a major US manufacturer could come up with such an exciting concept car was startling enough, but Chrysler's decision to put the Viper into production was nothing short of astonishing. Inspired, as its name suggests, by the legendary Cobra, Tom Gale's design study made its show debut in 1989 following discussions between Chrysler boss Bob Lutz and Cobra-creator Carroll Shelby and their decision was rewarded by queues of willing buyers waving their chequebooks. Built around a tubular-steel b

Hand-built at Aston Martin’s Newport Pagnell factory, each Aston Martin V8 took in the region of 1,200 man-hours to complete, with each car inspected rigorously to ensure the continued upkeep of AM’s legendary build quality and reputation. The Aston Martin V8 (later known as the AMV8) was introduced in 1969 to replace the ageing DB6, with the brief being to create a handsome, powerful GT car, powered by Tadek Marek’s V8 engine, and remained atop the company’s model range until its retirement in

A progressive development of the sensational XK120 and XK140, the XK150 retained the same basic chassis, 3.4-litre engine and four-speed Moss transmission of its predecessors but, partly due to the growing U.S. demand for more comfortable and refined sports cars, benefited from an entirely new body providing increased interior space and improved visibility courtesy of a single-piece wrap-around windscreen. A higher front wing line and broader radiator grille were other obvious differences but th

Launched in Japan with the WRX badge, the turbocharged Impreza boasted a power output of some 240bhp with official UK sales beginning in late 1994, however, to conform to UK regulations, the engine was retuned to 208bhp and the car was badged as the Impreza 2000 Turbo AWD. This was a car that changed the motoring public's perception of affordable performance offering Escort Cosworth-beating performance for just under £18,000- 8 Thousand less than the Ford resulting in many enthusiasts migrating

By the dawn of the 1970s, it had become clear that Ferrari's front-engined, Daytonas replacement would have to position the engine behind the driver in order to remain at the forefront of the supercar market. The Miura was selling well, Maserati had just introduced the mid-engined Bora and even the cut-price De Tomaso Pantera offered an exotic badge and layout for less well-heeled mortals. Despite the fact that replacing the Daytona, long regarded as the ultimate Grand Tourer, seemed an impossib

In 1965, Rover's Managing Director, William Martin-Hurst, secured the tooling and production rights to the 3528cc all-alloy OHV V8 '215' engine from Buick and, after a period of development, it was ready for use in Rover's model range. Although a marriage of expediency, the union between Rover's stately P5 and the ex-Buick V8 resulted in an unexpectedly fine motorcar. The new aluminium V8 was significantly lighter and considerably more powerful than its predecessor, delivering 160bhp and a massi

Audi AG’s involvement with Motor Sport seems fairly recent compared to their competitors Mercedes-Benz and BMW whose trophy cabinets bulge with silverware from many decades past, however, three of the companies that merged to form Auto Union AG and subsequently Audi, DKW, Horch and Wanderer, have very respectable histories in circuit racing and hill-climbs so the DNA was undoubtedly there. Not long after Auto Union and NSU merged to become the current day Audi AG, a motorsport programme was on t

Manufactured from 2004 until 2009, the Ferrari F430 was the successor to the very successful 360M and, according to its creators, was at least 70% new compared with the previous model, itself a ground-breaker. Its aluminium structure was more rigid than the 360's, it had a new engine, a new F1 gearbox, a new differential and a brand-new chassis, and although the styling is obviously reminiscent of the 360M's, in reality, it's pretty much a ground-up design. Largely the work of Pininfarina, altho

Introduced in 2002, after some five years in development, the R230 Series SL Roadster was an engineering tour de force. Painstakingly modelled on a state-of-the-art supercomputer which enabled the designers to analyse every curve and line, it looked utterly sensational with an air of barely contained aggression that gave it huge road presence. With its balletic folding roof that takes less than 20 seconds and packed full of sophisticated electronic driver aids which made it immensely safe but st
