With somewhat unfortunate timing from our point of view, the Fisker Ocean nipped into Autocar’s 100 Best New Cars list in April, just as its maker ran into terminal financial trouble. A few weeks on, nice though the Ocean is, it wouldn’t make it into our most-recommended cars list any more. Due apologies to anyone who pressed the button on buying one as a result of its 98th-place finish.
If you pop its registration number into the Halfords website, it will still suggest the right oil filter for that engine today, and you can collect one from your local branch within three hours. There are plenty of ZTs, Rover 75s and other MG Rover creations easing their way towards classic status, still happily supported by independent garages.
