40 years of 2.7 RS celebrated by both Porsche and independents alike. If there’s one brand you can’t escape in any of the Techno Classica’s 20 halls it’s Porsche, and specifically 911s. Sure, there are 356s, 914s and others but 911s of all hues and types dominate and if you’re in the market for a […]

40 years of M cars and some very tasty Alpinas make it worth the trip to Essen alone.

At Keith Michaels we are one of the few brokers able to get Vauxhall VXR Maloo insurance. This would come under our Specialist Imported Vehicle insurance which can be found here.

An Alfa that’s a good investment? Surely some mistake? Not at all especially when we can arrange the Alfa Romeo car insurance for you. The Alfa Romeo 8C shares its ethos with the 1938 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900(b), which raced at Le Mans. Its streamlined body gave it a notable advantage over the open-topped competition, […]
You wait for one new 700hp+ Ferrari and then two come along (almost) at once. Hot on the heels of the reveal last week of the F12 Berlinetta, the most powerful and high-performance road-going Ferrari ever, comes news of the unveiling of, er, the most powerful and high-performance road-going Ferrari ever. The long-awaited Enzo replacement […]
