All cars sold under the scheme will receive an 81-point vehicle inspection drawn up by Caterham’s own engineering team, a 12 months parts and labour warranty, 12 months AA breakdown cover including Home Start, free MOTs throughout the vehicle’s life and a HPI certificate.

Graham Macdonald, Caterham Group CEO, said: “Purchasing a sportscar is no small decision, but, as well as offering cast-iron residual values, we now offer a wide range of pre-owned Caterham cars with market leading benefits designed to provide as much reassurance as possible.

“Caterham’s customers are enthusiasts at heart; they want to concentrate on enjoying the thrilling driving experience, while we can look after the rest.”

The new Skoda Fabia has received a five-star safety rating from EuroNCAP, the industry safety organisation.

The Fabia was evaluated by EuroNCAP for adult passenger protection, child safety, safety assistance systems and passenger protection, and awarded the maximum five stars in each category.

With the latest Fabia awarded the full five stars, the entire Skoda range comes with a five-star rating, including the smallest Citigo model.

“With innovative safety systems and a comprehensive safety package, our new model is setting standards in its segment. Receiving the award for being the safest small car in the Euro NCAP crash tests confirms this once again,” said Dr. Frank Welsch, Skoda board member for technical development.

Volkswagen is to begin taking orders for two new versions of its Up city car, the Street Up and Club Up. First deliveries are expected in March, with prices starting from £11,995.

Both variants are based on the firm’s flagship High Up trim, which includes front fog lights, heated front seats and a Maps & More portable infotainment device. However, the Street and Club Up are loaded with more styling features for an extra £610.

The Street Up adds 16-inch ‘Upsilon’ alloy wheels, standard Pure White, Black Pearl or Reflex Silver paint, privacy glass from the B-pillar back, various “Street” badging, body coloured bumpers, leather steering wheel, black roof lining, carpet mats and “Street” branded cloth upholstery.

The Club Up adds 16-inch ‘Triangle’ alloy wheels, a choice of Blueberry metallic or Black Pearl paint, privacy glass from the B-pillar back, “Club” badging, wing mirrors in silver, black roof lining, carpet mats and unique “Club” Tartan Tonic cloth upholstery.

Both new cars are powered by the 75 horsepower 1.0-litre petrol engine, mated to a five-speed manual gearbox.
