The Mazda MX-5 is the sports car that barely needs an introduction. If you are at all interested in driving, chances are you’ve thought about, owned, or lusted after an MX-5 at some point. Now in its fourth generation, and with 35 years under its belt, Mazda’s little legend has had a subtle, but meaningful, […]
I WAS recently lucky enough to be invited to take a look at the all-new Lotus Emira at its Almada Street, Hamilton, showroom; and although there would be no opportunity for a drive, I was looking forward to seeing Lotus’s last-ever petrol-powered sports car in the flesh, so headed off in the direction of Glasgow. It certainly […]
ROADSTERS have played an important role in BMW’s history and the latest, all-new BMW Z4 is set to write another chapter in the open-top story. Since the birth of the first example – the famous BMW 328 – all BMW roadsters have shared common proportions and design principles – long bonnet, low, set-back driving position, […]
THE new Jaguar F-TYPE looks more beautiful than ever and embodies Jaguar design DNA in its purest form. The two-seat sports car offers a perfect balance of performance and driver reward with an even more muscular, assertive design and a cabin defined by rich, luxurious materials and beautiful details. The range of powerful, responsive engines […]

WHEN the lovely people at Alfa Romeo UK agreed to lend me a £60,000, factory-fresh 4C Spider for the week I was (obviously) overjoyed. So, when my brother offered me a comparison drive of his 18-year-old Alfa Spider Twin Spark – which cost him just over a grand – I was, well . . . […]
The new Mazda MX-5 RF arrived the same day that the Jaguar F-Type Convertible was taken back and I couldn’t help but feel that I’d had the the main course before the starter. However, I soon came to realize that the fizzy little Mazda was more Yo-Sushi! Than Rump N Ribs Steakhouse and the two […]
THERE are some cars you look forward to driving more than others. Unbiased professionalism is all well and good but when you’re presented with something as achingly beautiful as a Jaguar F-Type then it’s all too easy to over-reach for superlatives. So, in the interests of balance let’s start with a negative observation: The Jaguar […]
The Fiat 124 Spider – more than just an MX-5 in a pretty dress . . . IF you are going to design a rear-wheel drive, 2-seater, rag-top sports car with a price-tag starting at less than £22,000 then you may as well base it on the best there is – and that is exactly […]
