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.

Take a look at the 1,000mph car. Twelve years on from their last record breaking run, Andy Green OBE and Richard Noble OBE are at it again. Auto Express was there back in 1997 supporting the pair, when they famously piloted the Thrust supersonic car (SCC) through the sound barrier onto a world-record speed of 763.053mph. And this time theyň€™re looking to go three steps further.

Called VentureCam, it"s a wireless camera that transmits real-time moving colour pictures back to a dashboard-mounted screen. It can be placed anywhere within 20 metres of the car, and allows the driver to see how close he is to objects.

VentureCam is available on the 2005 Range Rover, which debuts at the Paris Motor Show. When it"s not in use, the camera sits charging in a slot in the cabin.

"The camera can be fixed anywhere in the car with a suction pad and arm," revealed a spokesman for Land Rover. "It"s water-resistant and can withstand the vehicle"s weight." He claims it will be great for towing, reversing or tricky off-roading.

Other changes to the Rangie include touch-screen technology, plus a DVD entertainment unit in the rear.
