Woody and Buzz were breaking the box office back when this E31 850CSi rolled off the production line. Twenty-seven years later, the little-used period piece has a few tales to tell…
Which is the best two-seater sports car out of the BMW Z4, Jaguar F-TYPE and Porsche Boxster 718? Simon Jackson, editor of BMW Car, our own Paul Walton and 911 27 Porsche World's Matt Bell argue the case for each before judge Ben Barry gives the final verdict.
The first 25 XJR-S 6.0s from 1989 were special limited-edition models in Jaguar Racing Green. We've tracked down one of these important, rare cars with fewer than 10,000 miles on the clock and in good-as-new condition.
