Straight from its world debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show last month, the all new Volvo C70 will make its UK debut at the forthcoming MPH Show at Birmingham’s NEC and London’s Earls Court on 10-13 and 17-20 November, respectively.
The new C70 is a four-seater coupe and convertible, all in one. The advanced design and precision movement of its unique three-piece retractable hard top has been described as "a piece of theatre", so, appropriately, the Volvo C70 will be one of the hot new cars to star in the 75 minute live show.
The new Volvo C70 has already generated exceptionally high levels of enquiries and orders. It will be launched with powerful 170bhp 2.4-litre and 220bhp T5 five-cylinder petrol engines, and a 180bhp diesel to follow in mid-2006. Prices and specifications are expected to be released by mid-November, with cars arriving in showrooms from February and first customer deliveries in spring 2006.

Around 400 people a day risk damaging their car by misfuelling, and filling up with gas is a mistake that could cost thousands. So what do you do if you´ve filled up your diesel car with unleaded petrol?

Euro Car Parts has acquired Pinco 1555 Ltd, including all 53 of LSUK's 53 branches, together with subsidiaries M I Diesel Products, Protech Automotive (UK) and Yeovil Rewind.

Fuel protests similar to those that brought the UK to a halt in 2000 are being planned by a breakaway group of disaffected hauliers, according to press reports.

Euro Car Parts has put out a statement on the closure of LSUK, stating that a closure of the business was unavoidable due to a 'lack of support'.

LSUK, thought to have been rescused by Euro Car Parts, has been unexpectedly closed by the new owners with the loss of over 600 jobs.
