THE RETRO REVIVAL...

Capri. Puma. Viva. Mustang.

We've seen a LOT of old car names make a comeback, but are the new versions actually worthy of the names they've been given? 👀

Sarah's been looking at the Retro Revival in our latest blog, and as you might expect from us, we're not sure anything with a touchscreen and a battery is going to tempt us away from the originals. Ever 🤣

Have a read and let us know what you think... 👇

Are you embracing the Retro Revival, or should some names have been left well alone?

Explore the retro revival as iconic motoring names including the Ford Capri, Puma, MG and Lotus meet a new generation. Do the new cars live up to the originals?

Here’s one for anyone of a certain age… 🚗

Before panoramic roofs and climate control, the humble sunroof was VERY exciting indeed!

Britax or Tudor Webasto?

Who remembers these - and more importantly, did yours ever leak? 👀🤣
