Spyker B6 Venator Spyder Concept at Pebble Beach 2013

You might know Spyker for trying to rescue Saab a few years back, but the independent Dutch brand actually has a history stretching back well before the now defunct Swedish brand started. Spyker was born in 1880 as a carriage builder and repairer and built its first car in 1898. Its latest is the 2013 B6 Venator Spyder Concept unveiled at the Pebble Beach Concours.

1912 Oldsmobile fetches $3.3 million, sets record at auction

A 1912 Oldsmobile—believed to be the only one of its kind still in existence—fetched $3.3 million last weekend, spurring total sales of $38.3 million at an auction in Florida. The vintage car, an Olds Limited five-passenger touring, is thought to be one-of-a-kind, as none of its now century-old contemporaries are known to have survived in that trim. It wears chassis No.

Subaru XV gets a price cut – down by £1300 on 1.6 litre versions

It wasn’t a bad starting point for an able mid-sized crossover – a high-riding Impreza, in all but name –  but it wasn’t the cheapest offering in the class. But now, with the Yen being a bit kinder to Japanese car makers, Subaru has decided to nudge the price a bit lower to start the XV range off below £20k for the first time. The price drop for the XV only applies to the 1.6 litre petrol versions, but you can now get the entry-level XV 1.6i S for a more affordable £19,995 rising to £23,415 for the XV 1.6i SE with the Lineartronic gearbox, reductions across the range of £1300.
