NEW ERA FOR CLASSIC CAR AUCTIONEER - South Western Vehicle Auctions set to move to a new home after more than half a century BACK TO FRONT Inspired by 60 years of the iconic Porsche 911, we look back at some of the most notable rear-engined classics, from quirky three wheelers to million sellers. CLASSIC CHOICE The BMW E30 3 Series, Saab 900 Turbo and Honda Prelude were all aspirational choices for a UK buyer in the 1980s, but which makes for the best classic? TRIED AND TESTED We get behind the wheel of an exceptionally rare 3.4-litre Jaguar XJ6 Series 3 to see how it compares to its bigger engined siblings. BUYING GUIDE: TRIUMPH TR4 Styled by Michelotti and a popular choice on both sides of the Atlantic, the Triumph TR4 is still winning hearts today. Here’s how to buy a great example. SALES SPOTLIGHT: MGC GT, FORD FIESTA XR2I and MERCEDES 190E
