Genuine mid-1970s-style custom vans still show up in the car graveyards, a good half-century after they reached their cultural zenith, but it's tough to find one that has remained largely intact. Here's a Chevy Van at a Denver junkyard that's an honest time capsule, down to its authentic purple shag carpeting.This once-righteous custom Chevy got parked at some point in the late 1980s and didn't move again until it was towed into the recycling ecosystem this year.

Well-used Volkswagen Polo was the big winner from the annual celebration of brilliantly mundane motorsFind me another car show, if you can, where the victorious car is 25 years old, has done 176,000 miles, was its owner’s wedding car and has been his daily driver ever since he bought it 20 years ago.
The car I’m talking about is a 999cc, 49bhp Volkswagen Polo C owned by Gordon McNeill, winner at the 2026 Hagerty Festival of the Unexceptional, held last weekend at Grimsthorp

It has had particular domestic success with EVs, and also learned plenty from several long-standing joint ventures with PSA, FCA, Honda and Toyota.By 2030, we’re told, Aion will h

A journey into the finest from IngolstadtFrom the tail-end of 1964 to Christmas 2004 were Audi’s glory days.The rise of an unpromising relaunch that became a byword for German technical breakthroughs, stringent quality, safety-backed performance and design elegance.
Arguably the German marque represents the epitome of the internal-combustion engine epoch. Audi’s back-catalogue bulges with brilliance but we think these are the pick of its greatest-ever 40 years:Audi Super 90 (1966)

Void between private and fleet demand is putting pressure on leasing firm profitsElectric company cars have reached a market share beyond the government’s 80% ZEV mandate target for 2030, according to leasing firms, but they warn that weak retail demand and shifting policies pose longer-term risks for a sector that now owns more than a third of the country’s EVs.
