As the 2014 Formula 1 has drawn to a close, the first evidence of the renewed McLaren and Honda partnership in the form of the McLaren MP4-29H Honda. Based on the 2014 McLaren, it is powered by the all-new Honda drivetrain. Created mainly to test the all the new systems, the MP4-29H has been used during the two-day Abu Dhabi test with Stoffel Vandoorne behind the wheel.
At this weekend's Bonhams Bond Street Sale, you will have a unique opportunity to acquire this very rare Mercedes 35 hp Roi des Belges Tourer. Understood to be the oldest survivor of its type, this was the first large engined Mercedes fitted with a propellor shaft instead of chains. That the 35 hp Tourer has survived was certainly not a given as it served as it served as the Station Manager's car on two remote sheep farms in Australia.
A modern take on the rare Mercedes, is the all-new Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG Shooting Brake due to be launched at the Geneva Motor Show early next year. The versatile machine is powered by the same 360 hp four-cylinder engine that is found in the hatchback model.
At next week's Essen Motor Show, Skoda will showcase the Fabia R5 Concept. As the name suggests, the show car offers a first glimpse of the next incarnation of the hugely successful Fabia rally car. As always, we will be in Essen to explore the always very colourful displays and a full report will follow early next week.
