Motoring numbers

10,000: The amount of Aston Martins manufactured in the company's first 63 years from 1921 to 1984. It took 17 years to build a further 10,000, and only five to make the next 10,000.

58: The percentage of Brits who say the US is the most relaxing place to drive when on holiday; 42 per cent vote South Africa as the most stressful.

6: The total of wheels fitted to Citroen's Cruise Crosser at Geneva; the UK's last six-wheeler, the 1976 Panther Six, hit a dead end as Pirelli couldn't make its ultra-low profile tyres.

27: It's been this many years since a Mini Clubman was last on sale; the square-fronted version of the standard model was dropped in August 1980.
