Fiennes Restoration is probably the most successful British engineering firm you've never heard of. What sounds like some antiquated back-street repair shop is one of those rare breed of companies who are innovating in the field of classic and historic restorations.

Last week 10 Ford vehicles spanning the 100-year history of Ford in Britain assembled at Tower Bridge in London to mark the beginning of the Ford Centenary Tour. The tour visits 20 UK locations in 31 days and we'll be joining it in Inverness tomorrow. In the most un-British of Ford's - the Mustang Boss 302 Laguna Seca.

I've made no secret of my disgust at Greenpeace's recent anti-Volkswagen campaign, The Dark Side - it was misleading, divisive and downright ignorant.

In response to BMW's M5, Kia will be unveiling a new sports saloon concept at the next month's Frankfurt motor show. "In response..?" I hear you say, "I didn't know there was a question that the Korean manufacturer needed to respond to.."

Lexus unveiled the new GS at the prestigious Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in California this evening and in doing so introduced the new face of future Lexus models.

Inspired by the Lexus LF-Gh Concept, the new 2012 GS heralds a more engaging and dynamic driving focus for Toyota's luxury brand.
