The Aston Martin V8 Volante at the Classics & Supercars Show Sherborne Castle
There is a rare breed of car that is a seamless blend of form, aesthetics and function and the Aston Martin V8 Volante certainly falls into this elite category.

Do You Remember the Morris Ital?

60 Years of the Edsel
It was a car that became a by-word for failure, one jokingly referenced in films as diverse as Peggy Sue Got Married and The Love Bug. It is, of course, the Edsel, which celebrates its 60th birthday this year.
