With just 400 Phase 1 and Phase 2 examples registered in the UK, either on the road or on SORN, a Renault Clio V6 is a rare sight – and that’s just how Martin Hassett likes it. “I like things that are rare and unusual,” he tells me. “My father never drove, so I have no desire… Continue reading I’m 74, and I’ll keep my mad mid-engined Clio V6 as long as I can

Volvo and wagons go a long way back. It all started with the Duett in 1953, whose name represents a dual-purpose vehicle that is good for both work and quality time with the family.
