The embargo lifted during the night on the fully unveiled Jaguar Type 01. The full news story is linked below and within that you'll find Dave's ridiculously detailed video introduction to the car. He travelled over to the UK a while back to see it in a secret studio in person and produced one of his typically comprehensive video walkarounds. Go grab a cuppa and give it a watch.

Renault is adding a panoramic glass roof option to the Twingo, with the new ‘Twingobay’ option set to appear at the 2026 Paris Motor Show next week. The fixed roof has no blind, but Renault says its multilayer construction filters 99.9 per cent of UV radiation and limits heat entering the cabin. Renault is also introducing Google Gemini as an optional over-the-air replacement for Google Assistant on cars using its OpenR Link infotainment system.

With less than a week to go to the media day at the 2026 Paris Motor Show, Renault has released a single image and some initial information on its centrepiece, the E-Space concept. You don't need to be old enough to remember the original 1984 Renault Espace people carrier to know that the French company is alluding to an new Espace MPV of the near future. Interestingly, Renault says it's electrified rather than actually electric. That's all we have for now...

There's a lot of hype surrounding the reinvented Citroen 2CV, most of it admittedly coming from the French company itself. We've compiled all the teaser pics from Citroen's Instagram account into one gallery so you can see how much inspiration the new EV is taking from the original. Quite a bit, it would seem. World debut at the Paris Motor Show.

While sales/registration figures from the UK market are rarely of interest to Irish buyers, we do keep an eye on them, and last month’s make for interesting reading. The Jaecoo 7 topped the charts for new registrations for the month and it’s second only to the Ford Puma in the UK for the year to date. Why should we care? Because the Jaecoo brand is highly likely to arrive in Ireland in 2027… We’ve already driven the ‘Temu Range Rover’ of course so make sure you have a read of our review to see if it’s something Irish buyers should be looking forward to.
