Octane içinde November 2021 için içindekiler tablosu

THE SHORTLIST FOR the Historic Motoring Awards’ Car of the Year has been announced and the winner will be decided by Octane readers’ votes. The ten cars on the list are, according to the panel of experts that compiled it, the most significant to have emerged, to have come to prominence or to have broken new ground in the past year. To cast your vote, simply go to historicmotoringawards.co.uk – where you can also see the shortlists for all the other categories that will be going before our stellar panel of judges. The glittering Historic Motoring Awards will take place at London’s Rosewood Hotel on Thursday 18 November, and you can also book your tickets on the website. The finalists are……

To me, the heart of a supercar is always its engine. The ultimate exponent of this artform has to be Gordon Murray, whether it’s the McLaren F1 or the new T.50: in each case, the engine is the heart and soul of the car, even if Murray didn’t design it. Murray’s genius emanates from that heart and works outwards over the rest of the vehicle. Bear that in mind as I tell you that I have a new car. At time of writing, it’s the fastest accelerating vehicle you can buy, the £2million Rimac hypercar excepted, and that’s not for sale yet in the US anyway. My car also beat the Porsche 911 GT2 RS around the track at Laguna Seca Raceway by a tenth – and was only six-tenths…

With London opening up again, police sirens are back. I have a little anorak secret: I’ve long been fascinated with police cars. Growing up in South Africa in the bad old days, the police were very much to be avoided. Those macho brus who made up the SAP (South African Police) were belligerent at best and downright vicious at worse. Without the luxury of television as a child, the wireless offered evening entertainment and the police series Squad Cars was my favourite. They drove Chrysler Valiants on the programme and I was always disappointed that they sounded so limp during audio chases. I later discovered the Valiants were a derivative of the Australian models, so made do with the lousy 3.7-litre slant-six lump instead of a full-fat American V8. In…

I’ve owned my 996 Carrera 2 for over three years, and met Boxster owner Dan Bathie at Porsche Kendal for a back-to-back comparison. Both are the earliest iterations of Porsche’s first water-cooled flat-six sports cars, and produce the lowest power outputs of their types: 2.5 litres, 201bhp and 177lb ft for the Boxster; 3.4 litres, 296bhp and 258lb ft for the 911. Performance is the biggest differentiator, in terms of low-rpm flexibility, acceleration and the reach of the 911’s engine to beyond 7000rpm. Even with a much taller second gear, the 911 rips where the Boxster builds. Dynamically the 911 has a more substantial feel – not just weight, though it does feel heavier, but also a more structurally solid and tighter feel to its coupé body. A rear-mounted engine…

‘It’s the war of the decades!’ The live-stream pundits were beside themselves with anticipation: two post-war cars – a Ferrari and a Maserati – in the final cut of four vying for Best of Show at Pebble Beach. It was unprecedented: ‘Is the old guard getting rattled?’ pondered commentator Justin Bell. Could it be victory for the erubescent 1956 Maserati A6G Zagato Coupé of Jonathan and Wendy Segal, already winner of an elegance award? Anticipation grew as the Maserati first edged forwards to the final assembly point, peaking as master of ceremonies Derek Hill – son of the much-missed Phil Hill, who did so much to make Pebble Beach a world-class event – opened the golden envelope containing the judges’ verdicts. After all the anticipation, tradition was upheld: ‘And the…

RESTORING A ’70s Italian car is often full of surprises, mostly of the wallet-damaging type. But even Sam (who heads up Prestige Refinishing, where the Zagato-bodied Fulvia is being prepped for repainting) was shocked to see the misshapen mess that lay under the Lancia’s otherwise presentable black paintwork. I already knew it was going to be bad, as the car’s history file had revealed that the previous owner had been very unhappy with the bare-metal repaint he’d commissioned back in 2001, but the work had never been corrected during his time with the car. Now that I owned this Fulvia Sport, I felt duty-bound to get the repairs done properly. The first surprise was the sheer quantity of body filler the previous bodyshop had used: about 35 kilos! The reason…

ONCE YOU REACH a certain age, it’s easy to feel that you can justify certain purchases. After all, you have worked hard and you deserve it… right? That kind of thinking can lead to trouble, and it explains why my wife and I now own five classics between us. Part of the problem is where to store several cars, particularly over winter. Luckily I have a good friend with a three-car garage, who has very kindly allowed me to put one of my cars in it. In October 2019 I parked the 300SL there, thinking it would only be for a few months, but in March 2020 the world suddenly changed. After that I managed to get the Mercedes out just once, for an MoT, until I was finally able to…

GO ON, ADMIT IT. You quite fancy rolling along in a big pick-up truck, don’t you? Even if you don’t actually need one. Or is it just me who has farmer fantasies fuelled by Clarkson’s latest smash-hit TV series? For maximum Cotswold sheep-farmer cred you want the most basic version, such as Isuzu’s new D-Max Utility. Starting at 21 grand plus VAT for the single-cab option, it comes on steel wheels (cool!) but offers switchable 4WD, a low/high range transfer box and 3500kg towing capacity. That’s Land Rover capability (on paper, at least) at half the price. You soon notice the cost-saving inside, where the coal-black interior is faced with hard, shiny plastics and the audio system sounds distinctly low-fi. Isuzu has attempted to redress the balance by adding inexpensive…

YOU’LL HAVE SEEN Peter Roberts’ advice on the previous page: ‘Buy the unpopular watches.’ Well, if ever there was a candidate to suit that criterion, it’s the Rolex Air-King ref. 116900. Even five years after its launch at Basel, it’s still the unloved child of the Rolex family. It’s not hard to see why: even its mother wouldn’t describe it as ‘pretty’ or even ‘elegant’. I’ve been guilty of taking a pop at it myself – in a 2016 review I described it as ‘the illegitimate lovechild of a Rolex Explorer I and a tree frog.’ This is, I admit, rather rude about a watch whose dial is based on the gauges Rolex made for the supersonic Bloodhound SSC, but it’s still, well, very green. But, over those past five…

1982 Lamborghini Countach 5000 S Historics Auctioneers, Ascot, Berkshire, UK 25 September, historics.co.uk Buying unfinished projects can be a bit of a headache, but it’s often worth the effort. This Countach was dismantled by a bodyshop for a full repaint but, before it really got underway, the company was wound up and the car put into storage. Prior to being stripped, it had been treated to a huge amount of mechanical and chassis work – including an engine rebuild. As it stands, Historics reckon it’ll fetch £145,000-180,000. 1964 Mazda R360 Coupé Oldtimer Galerie, Toffen, Switzerland 16 October, oldtimergalerie.ch We wrote about Mazda’s little kei car in Octane 209, and this is the first one we’ve seen for auction in Europe since. It was the company’s first passenger car, and it’s…

WHAT TO PAY A well-restored 4CV should command around £10,000-15,000 and subtly upgraded cars also fall within this price range. Expect to find something a little more rough-and-ready in France from about £7000; solid projects can be had for under £5000. The desirable Grand Luxe version could be up to £20k, while something prepared for competition use could cost between £20,000 and £30,000; anything with proper competition history will be considerably more. Rare right-hand-drive examples carry a premium in the UK. WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR Rust can kill a 4CV, as restoration cost quickly outstrips value. Check the chassis rails closely, and make sure shiny paint isn’t hiding nastiness. Engines and gearboxes are tough; most will have been rebuilt by now. Check for corresponding chassis tweaks on any car…

DAVID BURGESS-WISE ‘Pebble Beach had a watershed year: two post-war cars in the final line-up for the first time since the event took on its present form in the 1950s. It was a real cliff-hanger; happily, true elegance won the day!’ It’s back – and so is Octane’s unbroken record of featuring the winner. See the Mercedes-Benz 540K Autobahn-Kurier on pages 112-118. RUSSELL HAYES ‘It was a unique moment, projecting these David Brown dropheads – DB2 and Lagonda – back in time at Hanworth Park House. For one day, we had the key to Aston Martin Lagonda’s secret garden, the last trace of the Feltham era.’ Find out all about the company’s forgotten former home on pages 96-104.

It was probably the most fun I’d had in a car in decades. I still cannot believe that I led the field during this year’s Le Mans 24 Hours. OK, this may sound like the Walter Mitty version of what transpired, but in my role as Grand Marshal I did get to drive the pace car at the end of August. What’s more, far from pootling around on the parade lap, I found myself having to stay out in miserable conditions in the race proper. And you know what? I had the most wonderful time. Despite having done my last big race 20 years ago, I still think of myself as a driver. I am not like Sir Jackie Stewart, I cannot simply switch that part of my brain off.…

HONDA S2000 Proof that four cylinders can be just as dramatic and exciting as six. Although the S2000 suffered a slightly cold reception when it was launched – mainly because of its hard-to-read chassis balance – its reputation improved with age. Honda built the S2000 to celebrate the company’s 50th anniversary, so it got the very best of everything. That meant an all-new rear-wheel-drive platform, and a pretty two-seater roadster body, under which was an all-new 2.0-litre four-cylinder ‘F20C’ VTEC engine. UK-spec cars produced an impressive 237bhp at 8300rpm; the higher-compression Japanese models boasted a world-beating 124bhp per litre – the highest specific output of any mass-produced road car at the time. The best of these, especially the later model ‘AP2’ cars, are already coveted by enthusiasts. Prices of the…

Hanworth Park itself can be dated back to Henry VIII, a regular visitor to Hanworth Palace. The Palace burnt down in 1797 and Hanworth Park House was built a short distance away in 1828 and owned by two families until 1915, when it became the Middlesex Auxiliary Hospital run by the British Red Cross. The First World War led to a boom in aircraft manufacturing in the area and the Whitehead Aircraft Company bought the house and the northern section of the park to expand assembly from its Richmond factory. Whitehead built two large hangars and an airfield, which went on to become Hanworth Air Park, but folded in 1920 and its section of the airfield became unused, as did the southern runway from 1923. The buildings were offered as…

RAIN WAS FORECAST but, hey, I was driving to the Deal Classic Motor Show, the first gathering in East Kent since the great 2020 lockdown. It has always been a favourite, because hundreds of cars would be displayed on the seafront links of the Georgian seaside town. For 2021, social distancing requirements moved the event to Betteshanger Country Park, a 250-acre landscaped former coal mine. Our Big Healey was one of the first of the 800 classics due to attend, which was good timing: I could photograph interesting cars arriving and we didn’t have to queue on the steep hill that gives access to the site. I saw a Ford GT40 replica overheat in the stop-start traffic and the whiff of burning clutch was in the air. The show is…

HAD A QUICK call from my mate Stuart Templeton at Templeton’s Garage (templetonsgarage.co.uk) asking who I knew at Vintage Tyres of Beaulieu (old pal and MD Ben Field, as it happens; vintagetyres.com if you need new boots). While he was on, I mentioned the minor misfire malady that was cursing the BMW. I’d hoped it might go away but it was still there, intermittently. The worst moment was when I pulled onto the busy A14 dual carriageway from a country lane, and it hiccoughed enough that a once-distant HGV suddenly loomed large in the mirror. And the evening before the call, during a quick sortie for super unleaded, it had hesitated and stuttered every time the tacho needle passed 3200rpm. ‘They were a bit of a nightmare with split distributor…

IT’S A CITROËN 2CV – but not as you, I or a basket of eggs would know it. The adorable dedeuche is the latest classic to undergo an electric conversion, in this case by the 2CV Shop in Wiltshire. So be prepared for some controversy. The 2cEv shares its EU-homologated electroguts with the eDen – an electric Mehari tribute launched some years ago by France’s Mehari-2CV Club Cassis company, for which the 2CV Shop is the UK distributor. The 2cEv, though, is a far more UK weather-resistant proposition. In place of the 602cc air-cooled twin is a Sevcon Gen4 15kW motor bolted to a 2CV gearbox. A boot-mounted 10.5kWh LFP battery promises a range of 55-60 miles and a top speed of around 65mph, down from the 2CV’s 70-75mph. The…

NO DOUBT more than a few Octane readers knife-and-fork their meals with a set of exquisite cutlery by David Mellor (the craftsman, not the former Conservative politician). Even those who may, perish the thought, have spent time resting at Her Majesty’s pleasure will have experienced the feel of one of his beautifully balanced stainless steel designs. Named ‘Thrift’, that one was also standard issue for Government canteens, hospitals and the railways. Few, however, when sitting at traffic lights itching to mash the throttle on the green, will be aware that the lights were also a product of Mellor’s design skills. The world’s first traffic lights were installed outside the Houses of Parliament on 9 December 1868, predating the first motor car by almost two decades. The traffic problem then was entirely…

ROVER VS TRIUMPH By Corgi and Dinky Triumph and Rover went head-to-head at the 1963 Earls Court Motor Show with their new two-litre executive saloons, and the rivalry was mirrored in miniature by two famous British toy brands, Dinky and Corgi. Each had been working in secret with the real carmakers to enable models of both the Triumph and Rover to go on sale at practically the same time as the real cars. Dinky’s Triumph 2000 was one of Meccano Ltd’s best efforts. Its bonnet opened to reveal a detailed engine, while the boot contained luggage and there was even a paper sticker representing the dashboard. The regular colour scheme was metallic turquoise with a white roof, but various special finishes were produced as showroom giveaways and mint examples of…

The device pictured on the right is recognised as the world’s first commercially produced typewriter, but its invention actually predates that word, which was coined in 1868 by the creators of the Sholes & Glidden Type-Writer. Earlier efforts to make a typing machine resulted in contraptions with wonderful names such as the Scribe Harpsichord and the Mechanical Chirographer. Rasmus Malling-Hansen had evidently run out of creative energy by the time he completed the first iteration of his design in 1865, and called it simply the Skrivekugle, or Writing Ball. Malling-Hansen, the head of Denmark’s Royal Institute for the Deaf and Dumb, put the Ball into production in 1870. The keys were arranged for speed, with the most frequently used letters grouped together. On the most famous version, patented in 1875,…

1957 CHRYSLER NEW YORKER POA This gorgeous slice of Americana is actually one of only 1391 top-of-the-line Town & Country station wagons built.

Car manufacturers like electronics. They see them as a way to add perceived value to a vehicle for minimum cost. Sometimes, though, you really wish they hadn’t bothered. I’ve just been driving an Isuzu double-cab pick-up (see Overdrive in this issue) and I loved its no-frills, no-nonsense nature. What I didn’t love were the Driver Safety Aids that Isuzu has chosen to fit as standard equipment. Autonomous Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Warning, Intelligent [sic] Speed Limiter… All of these, and many more, come as standard – and you can’t turn them off. Or, rather, you can, but only individually, and they all default to ‘on’ again when the engine is restarted. Have the engineers who came up with this control-freakery ever tried living with it in the real-world environment of…

We like all overdrives, of course, because what could be better than turning a four-speed ’box into a six- or seven-speeder, offering a cruising gear for motorway comfort, greater economy and also a kickdown for a bit of extra pep without troubling the clutch? Historically, like sunroofs but rather less inexplicably, this clever little widget has been more beloved of the Brits than any other motoring nation, possibly because others were more devoted to autos… or had already standardised five-speed ’boxes in their performance cars. The initial problem, though, was that the switch for your (almost certainly) Laycock de Normanville O/D wasn’t accessible enough, though dash-mounted levers were often reachable with hands on wheel. Then it all went Lucas and gearlever-mounted switches dominated, meaning the overdrive user could finally feel…

London’s first fish-and-chip shop was opened in 1860. The proprietor was Joseph Malin, an immigrant who brought the ancient Jewish tradition of fried fish to a grateful East End. The significance of this will become clear later, but right now we have a topic so abstruse that it defies even Wiki’s powerful search tools: motor racing and food. The link between mere motoring and food is, however, well-established. The Michelin brothers realised that no-one ever says ‘I’ve had a terrific week, let’s buy some tyres!’ So they decided to sell the sizzle not the steak, and created their famous Guide Rouge, which reasoned that the purpose of car ownership was to make a ‘voyage’ to dinner at a good restaurant… wearing-out tyres the while. Motor racing is different: tense, committed,…

MAZDA MX-5 It might seem like an unfair comparison to make with the Boxster, but any MX-5 will provide thousands of miles of driving enjoyment and give you very little trouble in the process. The Mk1 and even the Mk2 are starting to get a little frail, but tidy Mk3s start from just £3500. A healthy £15k budget opens up a world of later cars… and those fitted with a BBR turbo kit, if you’re really feeling adventurous. TOYOTA MR2 Mk3 It’s small, lightweight and mid-engined: you shouldn’t dismiss the Mk3 MR2 until you’ve driven one. Its revvy, unburstable little 1.6-litre engine is a cracker, and the chassis is fabulous fun. The best thing is that you can get a tidy car from just £2.5k, and £5000 will buy you…

THAT’S IT, I SAID, I’m not having another one. My third pre-war Singer sports car, the dark green one late of these pages, was the most ruinous car purchase I have yet made. It was irrevocably separated from perfection despite far too much spent on it, I made a hefty loss on sale, and I drove it just 583 miles in seven years. As you can see, my resolve has dissolved. Please meet my second pre-war Singer sports car. Second? Yes, I owned it from 1988 to 1994, and covered around 8000 miles in it. We drove it to France a few times, including to the Le Mans 24 Hours with my then-toddler daughter in the back, we drove it to Northern Ireland for a rally, and I sold it…

ANTICIPATION CAN be a terrible thing. Back in the first half of this year I had been dying to get my bum in the Honda, having barely clapped eyes on it before the world came to a juddering halt. I cannot blame all of that on the pandemic; it was more a case of life getting in the way. I was also beyond keen to catch up with the car’s co-owner, Chris Rees. I hadn’t seen him since January 2020 when we went to an event in Italy together and successfully avoided buying another car. The Retro Rides Weekender at Goodwood at the end of May presented us with the opportunity to pile on the miles, while shouting to be heard over the sound of two cylinders of pure fury.…

I’M NO TESLA EVANGELIST, but there was a time – not very long ago – that I couldn’t think of a single credible alternative. There were plenty of reasons not to want a Tesla, of course, but the range, performance and excellent charging infrastructure were all untouchable. I’ve lost count of the electric car launches in the past couple of years, but suddenly things have got a whole lot more interesting. ‘Legacy’ carmakers might have had some catching-up to do, but boy, have they done it. Latest in the line of game-changing electric vehicles is the Hyundai Ioniq 5. This is from a company that has invested heavily in its battery technology, and is the first car developed from the ground-up to make the most of it. In the pictures…

RENAULT 12 GORDINI POSTER Few manufacturers now would dare to advertise their cars without photos, but around 1970 Renault commissioned a whole series of wonderful, psychedelic poster illustrations instead. One of the best was the design for the spunky 12 Gordini, and a nicely preserved example has surfaced at Galerie 123 in Geneva. CHF 770. galerie123.com POLAROID NOW+ INSTANT CAMERA The founder of Polaroid, Edwin Land, was such a bullheaded innovator that he would spend days working on some idea without stopping to rest or change his clothes or even to eat, assistants toiling alongside him in shifts.
