PGO brings Speedster II and Cevennes retro roadsters to UK

Speedster2

Yet more retro sports cars on the market, this time from French firm PGO, which has announced it is offering right-hand drive versions of its Speedster II and Cevennes retro roadsters to the UK market.

Both cars are effectively replicas of the Porsche 356 Speedster, with the Cevennes being a more ‘sporty’ version if that’s your thing. Each has a two-litre Peugeot engine, Peugeot chassis, option automatic gearbox and a 50s-style cockpit with leather upholstery, analogue dials and instruments, along with some modern-day additions, including CD player, air conditioning, electric windows and parking sensors.

If you want one, the UK dealer is Lifestyle Automotive Ltd in Sunninghill, Berkshire. No price available as yet.

PacMan arcade game belt

Pac_man_belt

There’s nothing wrong with an interest in nostalgia – but I’d be slightly worried if a friend of mine came round to the house wearing a PacMan Belt.

Obviously, there’s practical reasons for wearing it – like keeping your trousers up. But I’m not sure that a belt for an adult (which this is – it goes up to 42 inches) should really feature coloured ghosts and a PacMan on the buckle.

But if you think you can pull it off, it retails for a reasonable £9.99.

Bloomsbury’s Andy Warhol auction

Warhol_volks As the years pass, the market for Andy Warhol works shows no sign of diminishing. And if you want to get your hands on one, you need to get yourself down to the Andy Warhol auction at Bloomsbury.

The usual array of work – from authentic pieces to prints. I would say something to suit all pockets, but even the prints are the cost of a new car! If you are after something quirky, how about Volkswagen, Warhol’s take on the VW Beetle, sold as a limited run of prints in 1985. Sized at 38 x 38 inches, it;s a silkscreen on Lenox Museum Board, signed in pencil by the man himself. If you want it, you’ll need to bid in the region of £12,000 – £15,000.

The auction takes place on Wednesday 20th June at Bloomsbury, 24 Maddox Street, London, W1S 1PP.
