The Ford Kuga, while not available in Malaysia yet, will debut soon, sometime during the middle of 2013. The waiting list may be long though; Ford Kuga’s production has been increased by 10% to cope with high demands from Europe.

1968 Ford Mustang Bullitt
Anyone a fan of classic cars, or a Ford Mustang in particular? While you probably won't see one in Malaysia, one can still appreciate the beauty of classic cars.

Silverstone Auctions is now inviting entries for its International Trophy Sale on Friday 17th May while the first confirmed lot for the auction is a stunning 1968 Ford Mustang Bullitt.

The auction at Silverstone race circuit will act as a curtain raiser to the to the Historic Sports Car Club’s meeting which takes place over the same weekend. Vehicles being offered in the sale will include classic road-going models, competition cars and collectable motorbikes.
Nick Whale, managing director, Silverstone Auctions, said: “It’s particular pleasing that the first confirmed entry is a Mustang as they’ve proved extremely popular in our previous auctions with a very similar model recently fetching more than £49,000 (RM230,807).

“Indeed, the sale is sure to attract a knowledgeable and passionate audience and presents a great opportunity to sell your car with the expert help of a professional and dedicated auction team.”

The auction itself will take place in the ultra-modern ‘Wing’ building. The sale of cars will commence at 2pm following an automobilia and lifestyle goods sale which starts at 11am.
“As well as four-wheel offerings, the team at Silverstone Auctions would also be delighted to hear from anyone who has an interesting piece of automobilia they wish to sell at auction,” added Nick.

The sale in May is the first auction of the year for Silverstone Auctions at the historic race circuit following its successful auction at Race Retro in Stoneleigh in February which generated premium inclusive sales of more than £1.4 million (RM6,594,490)





Ford Focus ST, Europe’s top selling hot hatch


Ford Focus ST, Europe’s top selling hot hatch



The first time I saw the Ford Focus ST in flesh was during a Ford roadshow held in Mid Valley mega mall sometime last year. It looks great, donned in an orange finish with a really sporty-rally look. Further popularized by Ken Block, the Ford Focus ST fits the image of a road-use, practical sports car.



It is no wonder that Ford Focus ST sold 1,984 units alone from October to December 2012, outselling competitors like VW Golf GTI and the Renault Megane Sport.
