Manual Cars Are Dying—But Future Classics Are Hiding in Plain Sight ⚙️🚗

According to research by @autoexpressmagazine manuals now make up just 19% of new cars in the UK—down from 30% in 2022.
Meanwhile, 22% of learners now take their test in an automatic. The clutch is clearly slipping...

⚡ With EVs and hybrids all auto-only, the manual gearbox is going extinct fast.

But here’s the upside:
💎 Today’s el manuels could be tomorrow’s collectibles...

🔒 Six speed wonders to watch (or stash away) for the future:

Toyota GR Yaris
Mazda MX‑5
BMW M2 / M3
Porsche 911 / 718 Cayman
Honda Civic Type R

Serving up a slice of Italian perfection.

This 1975 Laverda 3C/E 1,000 is so clean you could eat your lunch off every surface!

Restored by Italian motorcycle specialists, this Laverda retains its original identification from 1975 with matching chassis and engine numbers, as well as the paperwork to confirm it was modified by the famous Slater brothers who later built the world's fastest production bike.

Drop the winning bid on this rad ride, and you and the Laverda could be dining out everyday together.

📆 Online auction kicks off on Sunday 4th of May, 2025.

Unpopular opinion...❗

The C30 T5 is more interesting, better looking and cooler than the Focus ST which it shares its 5-cylinder engine with.

Convince us otherwise in the comments.

A cool combo.

Defender 90 with JLR’s own supercharged V8, and the first of the EFI Bonneville show stoppers with a stubby exhaust.

The Triumph will be going to auction with us in the coming weeks. Follow this page or sign up to our Torquing Classics newsletter.

The one that got away.

Way back when, we had the opportunity to acquire a late eighties M3, only to pass it up for an AMG. They say that you should never have regrets…

But regret is how we feel every time we see one.

Which car do you regret not buying?
