Go green and save at Citroen
French firm Citroen is lowering emissions – and motorists’ bills. Choose a low-polluting model from its range and you’ll receive up to £1,000 cashback.

Discounts are being offered to buyers who trade in cars with a high CO2 output against selected versions of the C1, C2, C3, C4 and Berlingo Multispace. Those who part exchange a vehicle registered before 2001 qualify for the reduced prices automatically.

Mock crash axed over accident risk
A fake car ‘crash’ that aimed to raise road safety awareness has been removed – because it was in danger of causing accidents!

The display, in Sevenoaks, Kent, promoted a campaign called Grow Up. Slow Down. It featured an upturned Rover 100 apparently rammed against a tree by a Ford Mondeo. But bosses removed the wrecks after only two days as they were distracting passing drivers.
