The Little Car Company Bugatti Baby II
Bugatti turns 110 this year and to celebrate, The Little Car Company – makers of some of the best toys for petrolheads ever conceived – have worked with Bugatti to develop the Baby II, a 75% scale, fully-electric reincarnation of the iconic Bugatti Type 35. Impeccably hand-built on a made-to-order basis (meaning plenty of customisation options), it’s a strictly limited edition of 500 cars worldwide. Yes, it’s a toy, but it’s one that can still hit top speeds of 42mph with multiple driving models, so you might want to keep an eye out if you let your kids take it out for a spin around the garden.

1939 Talbot Lago T120
The Talbot Lago T120 is the kind of car that can’t help but put a smile on your face when you see it dashing around a country lane or taking part in vintage sports-car championships. This is one of only two T120s created, designed as a replica of the formidable T150 Tourist Trophy Sports, making it exceptionally rare. This car has a well-documented history dating back all the way to 1939 when it was gifted as payment to a racing driver, since then it has gone on to become a successful racing car in its own right, competing in endurance rallies and road tours.
