Bond might have traded up to a limited-edition super-coupé but, when it comes to civilians like us, we’ll have to wait a little longer for an all-new successor to the DB9.

Jason Wenig, the founder of The Creative Workshop, started his career in advertising and marketing in New York. So how did he end up in Florida, running one of the best classic car restoration companies on the planet? “In a bizarre twist of fate, I was brought into a dot-com start-up in the car business by my friends. Our company fell apart, but at least it got me involved professionally in cars for the first time,” he recalls.

When we think about it, the 3 Wheeler is an ideal candidate to be ‘electrified’. At just 450kg, the electric 3 Wheeler is even lighter than its combustion-engined counterpart, and with a single 75kW electric motor (delivering circa 100bhp to the rear wheel), its range is apparently in the region of 150 miles – that's rather impressive. We’d be lying if we said we wouldn’t miss that rorty V-twin, though. Now, where are our goggles?

Pininfarina has made so many notable cars in its history that it’s often given its own dedicated class at concours shows – but, for the first time, the coachbuilder’s classics enjoyed their very own event, as part of the Parco Valentino Salone & Gran Premio in Turin earlier this month. A total of 50 prominent automobiles gathered in the courtyard of the Valentino Castle, after completing a tour through the city centre, much to the delight of the patriotic locals.
