Meet the latest British hero, the MMI Avocet. The sports car has a light body and a chassis developed by Ray Mallock – the man who prepares Chevrolet’s World Touring race cars. It features a 2.0-litre Ford engine, delivering either 150bhp or 225bhp, with the latter good for a 0-60mph time under five seconds. The models cost ÷£25,000 and ÷£28,000, and MMI plans to build 50 cars a year at its Essex factory.

Asda, favoured by frugal fuel shoppers, has slashed its litre price across 167 supermarket forecourts. Motorists filling up with unleaded can now expect to pay 85.9p, down 0.2p.
Additionally, 1.5p has been knocked off diesel, putting it at 89.9p per litre. That"s the lowest in a year says the firm, claiming that a mild winter with reduced demand for oil made the cuts possible.
