Meet the Owner – Rob Haycock and his 1965 Slough-Built Citroën DS
Quite simply, I crave Rob’s Citroën DS. Aside from being one of the most beautiful cars in the history of the world, his 1965 example is not only to Pallas specification but also assembled in the Home Counties.
SYMBOL OF SUCCESS – FORD CORTINA GHIA ESTATE
Imagine the impact of taking delivery of a Ford Cortina 2.0 Ghia Mk. V Estate in 1979. The sable over chocolate brown Durham cloth and crushed velour upholstery would induce envy in virtually all your business colleagues.
MEET THE OWNER – MARTIN MALTAS AND HIS 1979 DODGE TELEVISION LICENCE DETECTOR VAN
Martin Maltas is the proud custodian of one of the most fascinating vehicles of the 2024 Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show – even if it is one you may not have welcomed in the 1970s.

It is early 1975, and the two highlights of the week are The Goodies on BBC2 and the parental copy of Motor. And, if my memory is correct, it was in the latter I saw an advertisement for a car that epitomised style and glamour and would not be prone to breaking down on the A27.
