Common questions

What sort of cars does Carb & Chrome cover?

Older cars from before engine management, followed as individual machines with a provenance rather than as models. Eras and Marques organise them, Auctions tracks what has been reported sold, and Restoration deals with the work of keeping them running. Modern vehicles are outside the remit.

Are the auction prices yours?

No. Every figure under Auctions comes from a named auction house result or a publication reporting one, and that source is credited and linked in the piece. Carb & Chrome does not value cars, appraise them or estimate what one might fetch.

How does the site get its news?

It summarises coverage from named motoring publications, auction houses and event organisers across the region and beyond. The publication behind each piece is credited where a byline would be, with a link back to it. Source text is never reproduced verbatim.

Why is there no writer's name on the articles?

Nobody is credited individually, because the pieces are written with automated assistance from the material they summarise. The source publication is named instead. That is set out on the Sources and methods page.

Is there an RSS feed?

Yes, at /feed.xml, carrying the same pieces that appear on the front page. It works in any feed reader. There is no newsletter and no sign-in.

What does the site do with my data?

Nothing, because it collects none. No cookies, no analytics and no third-party requests, so there is no profile of you to build and no banner to click through. Your theme choice stays in your own browser.
