    David Brown shares not only his name with Sir David Brown of DB Aston Martin fame but also an ability to create the most stunning of cars.

    Toyota is not a firm that one generally associates with sports cars and luxury, but with the sale of a 1967 Toyota 2000GT at an expected price of $1,000,000 (£625,000), we’ve definitely found an exception. (more…)

    The axing of one of the world’s most iconic vehicles is a disgrace
