What will weddings look like in 2021 and beyond?

appy new year and welcome to our February issue of Sixer.

This month is our ‘Confetti’ wedding special and in this issue we will be looking at businesses that can help your big day run without a hitch.

We focus on fashion and beauty, look at the trends that are going to be big (or small in some cases) in 2021 and put some wine to the test.

Elsewhere we go bold in our Home and Garden section with Pantone’s colours of the year, have our monthly wine and beer columns and get the latest motoring news.

Next month we’ll be focusing on food and fitness, although not necessarily at the same time. See you then.

Friendly, safe approach MOONLIGHT TEXTILES CONTINUE TO WORK HARD BEHIND THE SCENES AND CAN STILL VISIT YOUR HOME SAFELY. ow, more than ever, it is paramount that businesses protect themselves and their customers during this global Covid-19 pandemic. Moonlight Textiles, a familyowned business established in 1985, are understanding of the Government’s most recent initiative to impose the January lockdown to help and achieve this.

This longstanding Sheffield company specialises in made-to-measure curtains and related accessories but as a nonessential retailer, they have had to close their Abbeydale Road showroom.

“It is important that the economy and local businesses survive during this unprecedented period and the laws surrounding the most current guidelines help us retailers to achieve this by allowing us to operate behind the scenes, running our business manufacturing curtains and blinds whilst still being able to conduct our home/site surveys and professional fitting service,” said managing director Paul Smith.

Indeed, the hard work continues

N

behind the scenes at Moonlight Textiles.

Their team of advisers are still on hand, complemented by in-house seamstresses who create the custom designs, as well as an experienced installation team to fit them.

“Let us come to you in your home bringing fabric and blind samples to help with fabric choice, shade and style. Our advisers and installers are temperature checked each morning and will continue to hand sanitise, wear face masks and disposable gloves plus maintain a healthy social distance where possible,” added Paul.

“Moonlight hope that you all made the most of the Christmas break and had an enjoyable time. We would also like to wish you all a ‘Happy New Year’ - let’s hope it is a positive one and we can start to work towards something resembling ‘normality’.”

With their friendly, safe approach and wide range of products and services, it’s little wonder that Moonlight Textiles are still going strong over three decades in.

Enjoy your conservatory all year round SAGARS’ REVOLUTIONARY 365 CONSERVATORY ROOF INSULATION SYSTEM KEEPS CONSERVATORIES WARM IN WINTER AND COOL IN SUMMER. onservatories have long been a desirable addition to the home but too often become neglected parts of the house if they’re too cold in winter and too hot in summer. But what if that could change?

Sagars’ 365 conservatory roof insulation system can transform your conservatory and make it into a room you can use all year round .

At this time of year it’s all about keeping warm and Sagars’ insulation system, originally believed to have been inspired by NASA, can do just that, as well as keeping you super cool in summer.

The insulation is built up of complex layers of aluminium foil and insulation that is perfect for insulating conservatory roofs, reducing heat loss by about 95 per cent and keeping the heat out in summer. It’s finished with brilliant white tongue and groove insulated pvc panels to give a maintenance-free bright appearance.

Using the 365 insulation system, Sagars, a family-based Yorkshire company, have been turning hundreds of draughty unused conservatories into rooms that can be used for any purpose, all year round.

VAT is charged at five per cent as this type of insulation comes under the government’s energy savings rate.

The cost of a 365 system is far less than you might think, with a 3m x 3m conservatory typically costing around £1,699 including VAT, fitting and comes with a ten-year guarantee.

All work is completed in the day, following government social distancing guidelines to keep customers and fitters safe.

TRUSTPILOT FIVE-STAR REVIEWS: “What can I say apart from excellent. They arrived on time, did an excellent job, when finished left it as clean and tidy as it was when they arrived. It looks really good, very pleased and impressed with the quality of the work. Can’t believe how warm it is already. If you are thinking about it like I was, just get it done, you won’t regret it. Will definitely recommend.” Dawn, 5 January 2021 “Great company to do business with. Had my conservatory clad and now it’s a cosy functioning space. The two guys who attended were really nice and just got on with it and cleaned up after themselves. Great price too. Would definitely recommend.” Elaine, 8 January 2021 For more reviews, please search Trustpilot.

WINE

Valentine’s treat SUPERMARKET WINES: DISCOVERING OUTSTANDING YET AFFORDABLE WINE. BY JAMIE GREEN. nfortunately, much like last year, 2021 is off to a slow start. All the more reason to celebrate and wine ‘n’ dine your partner this Valentine’s Day. We are here to help you pick the wines to go along with any new amazing cooking skills you’ve developed over lockdown.

Naturally, starting with sparkling wine will set the mood for a romantic meal and night ahead. The fizz market has

U

expanded so much just in the last ten years that there are now many top-quality alternatives to Champagne. We’ve also selected a more traditional red from the Bordeaux region, without the classic, hefty price-tag.

Whether you are going for a full feast or nibbling on snacks in front of a good film, what says romance more than a couple bottles of French wine?

Supermarket Wines’ Selection:

Crémant du Jura

Bordeaux

100% Chardonnay France Aldi £8.49

50% Cabernet Sauvignon / 50% Merlot France M&S £10

Crémant is simply a French sparkling wine made with the same technique as Champagne, but from outside the Champagne region.

It is a delicate sparkling wine with apple, citrus and brioche flavours typical of a ‘Champagne-style’ wine.

The highlight of this is definitely the creaminess you get from the way it is made. The fruit character from the Chardonnay grape is subtle, bringing a lovely freshness to balance the wine.

This wine can pair well with sweet, as well as savoury, food.

This fizz works nicely as a before- or after-dinner drink.

Bordeaux is undoubtedly the most famous still wine producing region in the world. The Solliard blend is a smooth, full-bodied red wine with aromas of ripe dark fruits. This youthful wine brings bright fruit flavours, but the time spent in French oak adds vanilla, coconut and spiced aromas.

Big red wines typically pair with meat and cheese dishes because they complement fatty dishes and enhance the wine’s flavours. This Bordeaux is no exception.

Not only this, but the wine can also last through the meal and be paired with a decadent chocolate dessert. We’re specifically imagining the M&S chocolate melt in the middle cake.

Drink with: Caviar, oysters or strawberries dipped in chocolate.

Drink with: Steak, lamb chops, or a dark chocolate dessert.

Finding the perfect match THERE’S SO MUCH TO THINK ABOUT WHEN IT COMES TO CHOOSING YOUR WEDDING RING. PA JEWELLERY HAS PLENTY OF ADVICE – AND EXPERIENCE. hoosing your wedding rings is a key part of planning your big day and can be one of the most fun, trying on beautiful, shining styles and picking out the perfect design.

Many couples like to plan ahead and visit their jeweller to gather information about styles and budget some months before making a final decision.

Lockdown restrictions during the Covid19 pandemic may make this more challenging and we can narrow down the details once you make it into the showroom, but there are many decisions you can make (or at least consider) beforehand.

C

What metal do I want?

For most brides this is easy as you will want to match your engagement ring, but if that is not the case there are lots of options available! Alongside the traditional precious metals, you can now find alternatives such as steel, titanium or tungsten. Each metal has its own pros and cons: to learn more about these there are information pages and blogs available on our website.

32 www.rmcmedia.co.uk

What style of ring do I want?

Plain, patterned or set with diamonds? There has never been more choice! The classic wedding band is still by far the most popular choice. There are various profiles, widths and finishes that may be applied to this so-called ‘plain’ design to personalise it to your specifications. For those who want something a bit different there are also hundreds of patterns available ranging from the traditional to the contemporary. Alternatively, you may choose a band set with sparkling diamonds, chosen with precision to perfectly complement your engagement ring.

Do I need a bespoke design?

There are several reasons why a bespoke design may be your choice.

Many brides prefer their wedding and engagement rings to nestle neatly together and although modern engagement rings are often designed to allow this, those with a more traditional,

cluster or twist setting may require a handmade ring to follow the curves of the design.You may have a particular design in mind that you cannot find or may wish to incorporate sentimental family jewellery into your band. Whatever the reason, our workshop will be happy to help bring your idea to life.

More information to help you get started can be found in the Choosing Wedding Rings blog on our website https://www.pajewellery.com/blogs/pajewellery/choosing-wedding-rings - or feel free to contact us with any questions.You can also find details on our website of the things we are doing to keep our customers safe when they visit. Some decisions can only be made by trying the rings on your finger and you can do this in confidence, knowing that we are sterilising all handled samples and rings between each customer.

Take the initiative WHAT WILL WEDDINGS LOOK LIKE IN 2021 AND WHAT WILL BE THE BIG TRENDS? WE GET SOME EXPERT ADVICE. he joys of getting married were really put to the test last year as the Covid pandemic lead to ceremonies being cancelled, postponed or greatly reduced in size.

This effect is set to continue into this year with wedding trends for 2021 greatly influenced by the events of the last year or so.

Here we look at some of the predicted trends for the coming year, with a little help from Lucy Plummer at the Vine Hotels Group.

T

Micro weddings When weddings resume - we’re being positive here - just how many guests will you be able to invite? Smaller ceremonies became the norm in 2020 and these intimate occasions, often with less than 20 guests, are set to continue.

In most cases, it will come down to government constraints, but for a lot, the reasoning will be that couples simply want to scale back to just the few family and friends they can’t live without – lockdown has been a period of reflection for many about what’s truly important.

“Smaller ceremonies are always so intimate and special, so we can imagine a lot more couples in the future might opt for this even after the restrictions have been lifted,” said Lucy.

“However, we know that once the rules allow, a lot of couples will want to have a big celebration with all of their family and friends so larger ceremonies will always be popular.”

Keep things local Lockdown has put a huge strain on the UK economy and, in 2021, we’re going to see more couples choose to keep it local and support their local businesses, be they suppliers, bridal boutiques or caterers. It’s a sentiment echoed by Lucy Plummer: “I think as people become more and more environmentally conscious, there will be a greater emphasis on keeping things local when it comes to suppliers. Particularly with flowers, over the past few years we have seen couples opt for a florist where the flowers are grown locally.”

34 www.rmcmedia.co.uk

035 Sixer Feb21 01/02/2021 09:11 Page 1

Weekday weddings Guests can expect to see an influx of invites to weekday weddings in 2021, due in part to the build-up of 2020 weddings which have spilled over into 2021, but also budget considerations for couples who’ve been more stretched than expected. Hiring venues and suppliers is cheaper on weekdays and there’s more likely to be availability.

“Weekday weddings have always been popular, however we think this trend will grow and grow,” concurred Lucy. “There tends to be more special offers available on Monday-Thursday dates plus a lot of suppliers offer discounts too. With lots of wedding postponements happening from 2020, the diaries for 2021 and beyond are looking full so we feel more people will opt for a mid-week wedding rather than prolonging the engagement.”

Sustainability Efforts to make weddings sustainable are great ideas for all couples to adopt: arrange a tree planting party for your guests to reduce their carbon footprint; keep food miles down by opting for locally grown meat and vegetables or a vegan menu; serve local beers, wines and spirits; and choose a venue with a beautiful backdrop that doesn’t require lavish decoration that will end up in landfill.

A return to tradition Weddings will go back to their heart: making treasured memories with friends and family. Experts across the wedding industry are predicting tradition to be a defining feature of 2021 weddings, from timeless dresses to nostalgic fragrances and traditional speeches.

Hollywood glamour Following months of elasticated waistbands, couples and their guests will want to go all-out for 2021 weddings. As well as statement and sparkling accessories, expect photoperfect hair and makeup as we make up for lost photo opportunities.

Many people will have had to cancel holidays so will be turning to the salon for a sun-kissed look and a bronzed goddess glow to cap their glamorous look.

Pastel colours A palette of soothing shades are set to dominate this year’s celebrations. Think gorgeous lilac, pastel pink, yellow and peach tulips and sweet peas, with a pop of colour such as orange or coral, and stationery of complementing colours too.

“In terms of décor trends, a prediction is that pastel colours will become popular for weddings in 2021,” said Lucy. “Another trend is that ‘acts of gratitude’ will be an important part of the wedding day, couples will want to thank guests for attending their wedding and express their appreciation of them. This could be done be a personalised note on the place setting, a drinks voucher to have a special toast with, or a personalised wedding favour.”

What is MediSculpt Therapy?

G&M HEALTHCARE CAN HELP YOU ACHIEVE YOUR WEIGHT LOSS GOALS. ediSculpt Therapy is a non-surgical, very low calorie weight loss program which can combat obesity and some chronic medical conditions like type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, high cholesterol, hypertension and sleep apnoea.

Medisculpt Therapy comprises of three main components; the diet, which is based on high protein foods with low carbohydrate and low fat contents, and two body contouring treatments – LPG Endermologie and Vanquish MeTM or Exilis Elite machines.

The body contouring treatment LPG Endermologie is used for skin tightening in order to prevent the development of loose and sagging skin during and after the rapid weight loss. The second body contouring machine is a radio frequency machine for body fat reduction.

G&M Healthcare has both of these machines and the choice of which one to use depends on the treatment package and area of the body requiring treatment. The radio frequency machines result in a significant fat reduction in targeted areas like the tummy, thighs or arms. These treatments are carried out weekly by fully-trained therapists and last about 30-40 minutes each. In total you need about 75-90 minutes per week for your treatments.

Weight loss with MediSculpt Therapy is safe, efficient and rapid.

The weight loss progress is constantly monitored by a qualified GP and fully trained therapists who check weight loss progress, blood pressure, body fat content, metabolic rates and do blood tests on a regular basis. With regard to the results, they know from experience that a female patient will typically lose one stone a month and a male patient will typically lose one to one and a half stones a month.

MediSculpt Therapy consists of six phases, which deliver amazing, safe, efficient and sustainable weight loss. During phase 1 of MediSculpt Therapy the diet comprises of five meals and one snack a day. Protein foods are filling, hence patients don’t feel hungry. To supplement the diet some fruit and vegetables are also allowed on the diet. G&M Healthcare also do metabolic tests to check your metabolic rates and also provide supplements to ensure you don’t lack in essential minerals like magnesium, potassium, sodium chloride, calcium and trace minerals.

Once the phase 1 target is achieved after losing about 70 per cent of your target weight, patients are moved onto phase 2 where ‘normal foods’, like weighed amounts of chicken, meat, fish and diary like eggs, are introduced. Once 90 per cent of your target weight loss is achieved patients are weaned to measured amounts of normal eating on phase 3. Thereafter phases 4-6 are stabilisation phases to ensure that optimum weaning off from the diet is achieved without putting on back the weight you have lost.

After the stabilisation phase there is a life-long maintenance programme where G&M Healthcare six weekly follow ups for review by a therapist who measures your weight and body fat composition. Follow up is then 3-6 monthly for one year or as required thereafter.

M

Kerry Norris Lost 7st on Medisculpt Therapy The cost of the program depends on the package you choose.

There are three price packages – basic, standard and deluxe. All consist of your consultation fee (£100) and blood test fee (£100) followed by the package fees. Supplement prices are £50/month but vary depending on the package you choose.

The basic package is £125/week for only food. The standard package is £250/week for food and body contouring treatments with LPG Endermologie and Vanquish or Exilis Elite. The deluxe package is £300/week and includes food, body contouring treatments, supplements, 4 weekly reviews and blood tests.

Recent studies from the Diabetes Remission Clinical Trial (DiRECT), published by G Thom et al in Glasgow in collaboration with the NHS in September this year and by Yiqoao Xin et al in May 2020, have shown that very low calorie diets can cause remission in people with early type 2 Diabetes Mellitus of less than six years since onset. The programme is now being rolled out on a bigger trial of 5,000 people in the UK. G&M Healthcare is offering a free informal consultation with their GP, so if you would like to learn more and have your weight and body fat composition checked, please call 0114 233 5000, text them on 07944 629727 or email g.m.healthcarereception@gmail.com.

BITS & PIECES

Cakes and kindness

Residents at two Sheffield care homes are going green thanks to a special donation from homes and furnishing specialist Ikea.

Housteads Residential Care Home in Richmond and Deerlands in Parson Cross - both part of the chain of ten care homes operated across the city by charity Sheffcare - each received donations of houseplants from Ikea, which has its Sheffield store at Meadowhall.

“We are delighted that Ikea thought of us and were so generous with these wonderful gifts,” said Sheffcare chief executive Belinda Black. “Our residents have seen much less of the outside world throughout the past year so this lovely gesture really does bring the outside in and will add a splash of much appreciated colour homes.”

Alana Habergham-Rice, has released her first cookery book on the back of her baking success, with profits going towards supporting Sheffield Hospitals Charity.

Alana, who is 13 and has autism, has been baking her Caring Cakes for seven years – all to cheer people up and raise money for charity. She chooses nominated people to bake for, all of whom are facing challenges in their life and then delivers the stunning cakes with her Mum. After years of creating the most beautiful bakes, Alana has written and released her own cook book ‘Cakes to make you smile, from the heart of Sheffield’. Alana has been fundraising for Sheffield Hospitals Charity for several years, in order to thank local hospitals for the care that they showed her close friend, Nick Challenger, in his recent battle with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.

Now, following the release of her book, Alana is dedicating the proceeds to Sheffield Hospitals Charity, who will receive £4.50 from every book sold.

Copies of the book can be purchased at through the Sheffield Hospitals Charity shop https://www.sheffieldhospitalscharity.org.uk/Shop

Shows rescheduled

Details of when The Band Plays On and Escaped Alone will be made available to watch online will be released in due course.

In the meantime, customers who had booked to see the shows on the Crucible stage will be contacted by the Box Office.

S.C.S wish to thank all the Sixer readers who bought a “Percy Pud in Lockdown Supports Your NHS” t-shirt or face mask. We raised £1,530 for your local NHS. This will be divided between the Weston Park Cancer Charity, Childrens Hospital Charity and the Sheffield Hospital Trust Charity.

“Our staff and residents have been very patiently awaiting the moment that we can start to receive the vaccine,” said Home Manager Kerry Peach. “We certainly see this as a step in the right direction back to normality. I’d like to thank all of our residents, staff and family members for their understanding and fortitude during what has been a difficult time for everyone.

the Covid-19 vaccination. Together with ongoing regular testing, this will give staff, residents and their families muchneeded comfort and peace of mind.”

Abbey Grange and Belmont House Care & Nursing Homes provide muchneeded stimulation and social interaction, with the opportunity to safely enjoy activities and the company of others, alongside person-centred 24-hour care and support.

A special service A TRADITIONAL YET FORWARD-THINKING FAMILY-RUN BUSINESS, ERIC EYRE FUNERAL SERVICE CAN GUIDE YOU THROUGH THE MOST DIFFICULT OF TIMES. t is never easy to plan a loved one’s funeral. Eric Eyre Funeral Service understand how difficult the process can be and offer a bespoke funeral service, whilst continuing to uphold traditional values.

Established since 1864, Eric took over the business in 1955 and has been looking after families in the local community and surrounding areas of Sheffield, Barnsley and Rotherham ever since. A second branch was later opened at Sheffield Lane Top in 2014.

With decades of experience in guiding bereaved clients through this difficult time, Eric Eyre provide a professional yet personal service, caring for you and your loved ones while facilitating the necessary funeral arrangements and ensuring your wishes are carried out with care and compassion. The team are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, making sure someone is on hand at all times to support and assist you.

Eric Eyre go the extra mile to provide an exceptional service and will take responsibility for ensuring everything is perfectly organised to deliver a fitting tribute to your loved one’s life story.

“Just as other aspects of life have evolved, so has society’s approach to funerals, with modern funerals a very different affair to the traditional, formal black-tie events of years gone by,” says Wayne Pickering, manager at Eric Eyre Funeral Service.

“For many, a funeral has moved from being a sombre affair to a celebration of life – complete with all that you’d expect from any other celebration, including music, entertainment and laughter. That is why we are always on hand to offer guidance on the many ways we can add a personal touch, just let us know what you would like, and we will do our upmost to meet your requirements.”

Wayne joined as manager in 2017, following 20 years’ service at John Fairest.

“I joined John Fairest as a hearse driver in 1997 and was later promoted to funeral director. It was there that I learnt how to arrange and conduct funerals, as well as the correct way to handle and

line coffins and how to prepare the deceased for the family to pay their respects. This gave me a full scope of all aspects of the job and after ten years of service I was offered the position of manager at a new branch on Abbey Lane, which I accepted, and is now a well-established business.

“In September 2017 I was offered the opportunity to join the team at Eric Eyre’s and to ‘move back home’, as I say, as I live local to both branches. It was, and still is, a fantastic opportunity for me to grow and develop an already friendly family run business and provide our local community with a warm and compassionate service.”

Completing the team at High Green is John Walton, who has been with the company for over 20 years and Sharon Clayton who joined in July 2017, while Beverley Travis and Vera Gregory look after the branch at Sheffield Lane Top, which opened four years ago.

“Our aim is to be there for our clients in every way that we can and make sure that their loved one is sent on their final journey exactly as they would have wanted.Your first point of contact will be the person you deal with throughout the process and whether the death has occurred at home, in a hospital or elsewhere, we will guide from the initial arrangement all the way through to

directing the funeral. We even provide help following the service, should you need any further support or guidance.”

If you need help arranging a funeral for your loved one, contact Eric Eyre Funeral Service.

BEER

Enhance your beer experience VISIONARY BREWMASTER HAVE SOMETHING TASTY. eers are enjoyed in a range of environments and occasions by individuals and groups across the world, whether this is a social beer with friends or settling down at home with a bottle or can at the end of the day.

Whatever format you enjoy a drink, a beer experience can always be enhanced through accompanying with the correct glass, temperature, snack or food. This doesn’t have to be a five-star meal in a fancy restaurant or cooking up a large time-consuming dish, instead this could be as simple as a pub snack, sweet or takeaway.

So what are our favourite combinations?

One of our favourites is to sit down with a strong IPA and tuck into a steak or BBQ. The citrus or herbal tones that work great with an initial bitterness of an IPA are great when partnered with the meaty dishes of this kind. We find that a pie partnered with a deep porter also provides a great supporting act as the deep flavours of the porter pair well with the similarity of game meats or vegetables.

A light lager with spicy food or burgers helps to clear the palate and provide a refreshing break between each mouthful.You can also enhance the taste of chocolate with a dark Stout that also usually takes favours from rich chocolate with a smooth taste. A Blonde, accompanied by a stone baked pizza, will really showcase the flavours of both parties as well again providing a refreshing pause between bites.

Finally, bar snacks like crisps and nuts with a Pilsner are one to try as they help to cleanse the palate and offer a crisp, refreshing relief against the saltiness.

Visionary Brewmaster’s picks for February: BOOZEHOUND, SHEFFIELD/THE PLOUGH INN, DERBYSHIRE Boozehound was created in 2015 as a craft beer company looking to seek and support local independent brewers to find out what it is they wanted to achieve in the already very competitive craft market.

They started with smaller trade stalls at country shows and Christmas markets before opening their Boozehound craft bar in Sheffield’s Kelham Island Cutlery Works, selling a great range of local craft beers, as well as hosting events including beer and food pairings, rare bottle tastings, beer festivals and even the odd beer pong tournament!

“We would like to thank all our amazing customers in Sheffield for their kind messages of support during these tough times, has really cheered us up and kept us going!” said Martin, one of the owners of Boozehound.

The owners of Boozehound defiantly saw the opportunity the recent and current lockdowns and restrictions have brought, even deciding to take over The Plough Inn, located in Two Dales Derbyshire. Martin states: “The 18th century village pub was one we grew up drinking in and the plan is to give the place a new lease of life with a refurb and the introduction of some amazing new beers.”

The company’s principle ethos is to support local, independent breweries. “Being in Sheffield we are spoilt for choice!” added Martin. “We often have beer on from brewers such as Crosspool Ale Makers, St Mars, Little Critters, Lost Industry, Abbeydale, Brew Foundation, Heist to name a few.”

Short term goals for Boozhound and The Plough Inn as it is for everyone in hospitality right now is survival. “We are working really hard to develop our takeaway offer down at The Plough Inn and getting organised for when we can finally open back up at Cutlery Works.” Long term they wish to continue improving what they do, as well as potentially branching out and growing further within Sheffield.

“The lockdown and restrictions have had a huge impact on us,” said Martin. “We have had very little opportunity to trade over the past year and we have had to postpone some exciting plans and events.”

However, Boozehound are eternal optimists and have used the time to grow their business, providing more time to plan and work on new projects.

SOLID AND SPORTY SUVS ARE COMPLEMENTED BY AN 1,800HP ROCKET IN THIS MONTH’S NEWS, WRITES JORDAN CUTFORTH.

Increase the pace The combination of sports/supercar performance in a huge SUV body on paper shouldn’t work, however its appeal has never been greater, and the introduction of the Jaguar F-Pace SVR has certainly showed that.

Under the hood lies the infamous 542hp 5.0-litre supercharged V8 developing 700NM of torque. Reaching 62mph from a standstill takes 3.8 seconds and the SVR will reach a top speed of 178mph.

Jaguar’s 5.0-litre V8 isn’t known for its fuel economy, and this is apparent here; a combined figure of 23.1mpg is claimed, though don’t expect to achieve this, and it produces 275g/km of CO2.

Revisions over the previous SVR model include upgraded braking, new interior, redesigned exterior and upgraded tech.

Available to order now with prices start from £77,595.

Cheap champion

World’s fastest?

With a 1,817hp twin-turbocharged V8 engine, not only is the Hennessey F5 Venom the most powerful road-going production car in the world, it’s claimed to the fastest production car ever created.

For those who are not familiar with Hennessey, they are one of the largest independent automotive tuning companies. Their first car was the 2011 Venom GT, which was based on a heavily modified variant of the Lotus Exige. The F5 Venom is the first car to be designed in house and from the ground-up.

Weighing in at 1360kg, and the 1,817hp engine powering the rearwheels, the F5 Venom will achieve 062mph in 2.6 seconds, 0-124mph in 4.7 seconds, and 0-186mph in 8.4 seconds!

Hennessey targets a top speed in excess of 311mph.

The Dacia Sandero has been the nation’s undisputed champion of cheap motoring since it’s introduction to the UK back in 2008. This new fourth-generation variant is no different.

Starting from £7,995, the Sandero is remarkable value for money for those who want a car simply to travel from A to B. For that price, you get automatic LED headlights with Y-shaped LED daytime running lights, 15-inch steel wheels, front electric windows, speed limiter, phone docking station, Automatic Emergency Braking and six airbags.

For the more jacked-up, rugged, utilitarian Sandero Stepway, prices start from £10,995 and include 16-inch Flexwheels, tinted windows, LED headlights, front fog lights and black roof bars on the outside as standard.

Solid and reliable The Hyundai Tuscon has been the go-to dependable SUV for the South Korean brand. The Tuscon is for those wanting a solid, reliable SUV without wanting to spend the extra on more premium brand offerings.

The new Tucson range comprises three high-specification models: SE Connect, Premium and Ultimate and is offered with 1.6-litre petrol or petrol-hybrid powertrains. Engines range between 148hp to 227hp. A plug-in-hybrid variant will be available from early 2021 and will have 261hp.

As standard, the Tuscon in SE Connect trim includes 17-inch alloy wheels, privacy glass, and body-coloured bumpers. Interior features include a leather steering wheel and gear knob, dual-zone air conditioning, cruise control, heated and folding door mirrors, rear parking sensors and a rear-view camera.

Prices start from £28,495. Available now.
