In nearly 140 years, the country's portfolio of engines has developed into something quite remarkable.

Which of these cars do you remember? Why go to the trouble and expense of creating two or more cars when you can simply create one and sell it with different names? That process is called badge engineering, and it has been used many times over the years, usually for brands owned by the same manufacturer but occasionally by collaborating manufacturers.

It's the lack of a full model line that has done it. New Fords used to be a common sight; now they aren't. Of c
Decision follows government review as UK pump prices surge due to the ongoing war in Iran The UK government has frozen a planned fuel duty rise until the end of the year, in a bid to “protect” drivers from rising pump prices. Chancellor Rachel Reeves had planned to scrap the 5p cut in fuel duty that was introduced in 2022, resulting in the current rate of 52.95p. Fuel duty was due to rise by 1p
The controversial reinvention of the Mini was blamed on BMW - but it turned out to be a winner When BMC launched the original Mini in 1959, it was both highly innovative in its packaging and widely affordable, being priced from just £496 - and of course it was wildly successful.
