The DB9 launched a whole new dynasty of Aston Martins, yet today it is something of a V12 steal.

For something completely different, turn to p98.

There you can read Martin Buckley’s account of driving this Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon, the chic load-lugger that thrived even when the popularity of ‘woodies’ in the US was declining.

In the May 2026 edition of Classic & Sports Car, we’re also bringing you Citroën’s twin-engined answer to the mountain goat: the 2CV Sahara 4x4.

This might have been one of this marque’s innovations that arrived ahead of the technical reality but, as Charlie Calderwood reveals, it is a fascinating story.


Mini vs Imp
