THERE was an appalling mistake in last week’s Memories which had the engines of our old car spotters overheating. Sorry. We had a picture of a fancy sporty car which we said was a Jensen Interceptor, as could be seen in the second TV series of The Saint. But it wasn’t. Oh, no. “You have been bamboozled by series one of The Saint in which a Volvo P1800 coupe was driven by Simon Templar,” said Richard Stone. “In series two, he upgraded to a Jensen.” So our vehicle is a Volvo coupe. “The Volvo was a little strange,” said Mike Crawley. “The 1780cc engine and four spe...

They were unreliable, unsafe, uneconomic, uncomfortable and, in many cases, downright ugly compared with what we drive around in today. Even so, you have to hand it to the cars of yesteryear.

Last modified on Tue 9 Mar 2021 05.40 EST It’s half a century since glam rock first dazzled Britain, and Slade had their first hit, Get Down and Get With It. All four members of the original lineup are alive and kicking, but Dave Hill is now the only one who trades under the name Slade. As is the way of rock bands, there have been sulks, tiffs and the odd tempestuous row. But today Hill is the very picture of Zen calm.
