T.33 WHICH WILL BE BUILT IN SURREY AND DELIVER 'ABSOLUTE DRIVING PERFECTION'

Automotive design legend Gordon Murray has unleashed his latest creation - a

Cosworth engine, the new lightweight T.33 is the second supercar from the

MARKET REPORT: THE HUT GROUP CRASHES AGAIN AS ITS COMMERCIAL DIRECTOR STEVEN
WHITEHEAD OFFLOADS £8.5M WORTH OF SHARES

Whitehead spooked investors by cashing in around half his stake. THG shares are
now worth about a quarter of their 500p IPO price and just over 15 per cent of
their all-time high close to 800p. Whitehead sparked fears he could have been
cashing in before the stock, which has shedded 45 per cent so far this year,

HELP! MY BROTHER BARRED ME FROM OUR PARENTS' FUNERALS AND NOW WON'T SELL THE
HOME THEY LEFT US BOTH - WHAT CAN I DO?

We are joint executors. We do not get on at all as he is an unreasonable chap
who wants total control. Last year he failed to turn the water off and a ceiling
collapsed in our parents' home. He also failed to insure the property so it was
not covered. He had all the bank accounts and financial details so I was unaware
there was no insurance. The moment I had viewings ready for an auction he phoned
the agent and was very abusive telling them to remove it from sale as he would
not agree to it. Lawyer Gary Rycroft, pictured, replies.

CAN YOU AFFORD A DECENT RETIREMENT? JUST TWO IN FIVE PEOPLE ARE ON COURSE FOR A
MODERATE OR COMFORTABLE PENSION, REPORT WARNS

A new savings and resilience barometer launched by Hargreaves Lansdown looked at
how likely people at different ages and income levels are to achieve a moderate
income or above later in life. A single person needs a minimum income of £20,800
per year, while a couple requires £30,600 to achieve financial security,
according to an oft-cited industry measure of retirement living standards. Those
figures include the state pension, which is currently worth around £9,400 per

THREE OF THE BIGGEST BUILDING SOCIETIES WILL FINALLY RAISE RATES FOR SAVERS
AFTER DECEMBER'S BOFE DECISION - BUT OTHERS, INCLUDING NATIONWIDE, FAIL TO DO SO

Three of Britain's biggest Building Societies are finally set to increase the

England base rate rise. Yorkshire, Skipton and Newcastle Building Society, which
between them have roughly 4m customers, have both announced that rates will be
heading upwards as of 1 February. However, all three are only upping interest on

TURNING A MOTORING ICON INTO AN EV: MINI LAUNCHES 'RECHARGED' PROGRAMME TO
CONVERT ORIGINAL CLASSICS INTO ELECTRIC CARS WITH 99-MILE BATTERY RANGES

Mini has announced it will produce a new range of electric cars at its Oxford
factory, though they're not exactly 'new'... It confirmed the launch of its
'Recharged' project, an official in-house programme that will take an owner's
iconic Mini from between 1959 and 2000 and convert it into a fully-electric car
that retains its classic looks. For an undisclosed fee, the Cowley factory -
which is where the current BMW-Mini is built - will replace the original car's
four-cylinder A-series engine with a powertrain of a 121bhp electric motor and
battery. As a result it will accelerate to 62mph in 9 seconds, have a range of
99 miles and produces zero tailpipe emissions. While many will call it
sacrilege, in stripping out the original car's motor, Mini says it will number
and store the engine and removed parts, so that cars can be returned to their
internal combustion originality if requested at a later date.

I'm in the process of having solar panels and a storage battery installed on my

However, my energy supplier, EDF, is refusing to do so. Secondly, I am
