Practicality takes a backseat, err there is no backseat. It is said it takes a crowbar and the skills of a contortionist to actually get into the road rocket. Cupholders are missing too, naturally. |
 |  If you are smitten and must have one, best be ready to crack open that piggybank. 150 road-going units are planned, at a per unit price of US$3.2 million. |

 | In the late 1950s, Cadillac was the undisputed heavyweight champ in the full-sized luxury car market in North America. Cadillac used the nameplates "Eldorado Seville" and "Eldorado Biarritz" to distinguish between the hardtop and convertible. The 1959 models came near the end of the 3rd generation. The 1959 Cadillac is remembered for the largest tailfins ever and dual bullet tail lights. |
 While the 1959 Eldorado was misunderstood in its day, collectors today recognize the car's combination of power, presence, and unbridled extravagance. |  |
 | The Eldorado featured the ultimate engine of the late 50s, the Q-code 390-cu.in. V-8, topped by three two-barrel Rochester carburetors producing 345 hp. |  |
 | This concours quality example made $324k |  |

 | The most affordable McLarens are the first built, and that means an MP4-12C, a car whose introduction was far from smooth and which McLaren needed to restyle, re-engineer, rename and relaunch after just three years. It came to market in 2011 without functioning navigation, with doors that many owners couldn't open and with handling like a brick on wheels. |
 The kinks were ironed out and the upgrades were free. | But things change, and a car that cost £168,500 seven years ago can be bought for less than half that today. And it's a different car. The MP4-12C had a huge upgrade in 2012 which, among other things, raised power from 592bhp to 616bhp. |  |
 | The engine has the same capacity, configuration and, post-upgrade, the same power as the latest 600LT. Overall the car has performed well and without major problems, but it is a bespoke automobile and that means expensive service and parts. |  |
