Ultra rare Ferrari 250 TR up for auction

Ferrari 250 TR – Expected to sell for a world record price when it is sold by RM Auctions Classic cars is a fascinating game. At the bottom end there’s a huge range of cars from the ’60s and ’70s that can now be considered classics, and which can offer a whole heap of fun and thrills on a budget, particularly if you don’t mind getting your hands dirty. But at the top end it’s a whole different game, and prices are not in thousands of pounds, but millions.

New pictures: Audi A2 concept

Audi is set to give its A2 concept a public debut alongside its Urban concept at this year's Frankfurt motor show in the manufacturer's latest exploration of electric mobility. The A2 concept study revolves around the concept of space, with the vehicle having been developed with plenty of room for four people even with the car being 3800mm long, 1690mm wide and 1490mm high. The car is very much designed to impress aesthetically as well as improving the company's green credentials.

German new car sales drop 11 per cent – pre-reg accounts for 33.5 per cent

New car sales in Germany dropped by 11 per cent in September with pre-reg cars accounting for over a third of all sales. That drop of 11 per cent in Germany is despite deep discount offers – an average of 12.2 per cent in September – with even the previously invincible Mercedes and VW having to offer discounts of up to €3k, despite which VW’s sales fell by 20 per cent in Germany and Mercedes by 12 per cent. What’s perhaps most interesting about the decline in car sales in Germany is the number of pre-reg cars sold (pre reg cars are cars registered by dealers to hit sales targets and then sold at a discount of up to 25 per cent).
