If you are sniffy about the budget marque Dacia, here’s the sweet-smelling antidote.
Partnered with award-winning perfumer 4160 Tuesdays, it has created a collection of ‘new car smells’ inspired by the most popular British road trips as judged in a poll of 2,000 motorists.
‘New car smell’: The air fresheners are available for the public to collect free from Dacia UK retailers while stocks last
Top spots went to Scotland’s North Coast 500 (68 per cent); The Coastal Way, Wales (50 per cent), Dorset’s Jurassic Coast (40 per cent); Cheddar Gorge, Somerset (38 per cent) and Causeway Coastal Route, Northern Ireland (37 per cent).
The ‘Scent-sational Highlands’ perfume, referencing the North Coast 500, combines earth and sea with pine trees and wild raspberries.

The Welsh ‘Coastal Whiff’ blends seashore aroma with daffodils and brine, and so on.

Jaguar commemorating end of combustion engine
With a final roar, Jaguar is commemorating the end of its internal combustion engine sports car lineage with an exclusive limited-edition F-Type inspired by two iconic 1960s racing E-Types.
Just 150 examples of the F-Type ZP Edition will be created — of which only ten will come to the UK next year.
End of an era: The Coupe and the Convertible (pictured) will be ‘the last internal combustion-engined sports cars designed by Jaguar’
Priced from £134,925 for the Coupe and £138,390 for the Convertible, they will be ‘the last internal combustion-engined sports cars designed by Jaguar’.
They feature specially curated interior and exterior details by the personalisation experts at SV Bespoke.

The firm says it will become an all-electric luxury brand by 2025.
