Auction giants Manheim and British Car Auctions are at odds over the prices of used motors. While BCA claimed a 10 per cent upturn in the value of nearly new models last year, rival Manheim reported a 4.3 per cent drop. Meanwhile, industry experts Glass"s Guide noted a near five per cent fall in the value of one-year-old vehicles in 2005. But the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders was upbeat about used sales towards the end of last year.
Kids usually can’t...
Kids usually can’t wait for long car journeys to end. But with this new luxury reclining child seat, they may want to lounge around all day. Maker Aprica says its new Euroturn chair is the perfect solution to help children relax in the back.
That’s because it can recline to 170 degrees, which gives parents the option to tilt the back completely flat, if needed. According to the firm, this is an ideal position for babies.
It also has a 360-degree swivel function in the base, which allows forward and rear-facing seating options, making it easier to get the child in and out of the vehicle.
There’s also a deluxe version called the HiDx, which offers extra head and neck cushioning for added crash protection, padded seatbelts and a special thermal ventilation system around the head, to improve air circulation.
Prices start at ÷£460 for the basic model and ÷£660 for the HiDx, while a racy red Ferrari special edition costs ÷£940. Log on to www.aprica-eu.com for more details and information on stockists.
