THIS is an ultra-rare example of the big Austin Westminster A95 with that glorious 2.6 straight-6 engine as used in the first Austin Healeys. Top luxury car back in the 50s with oodles of chrome fittings on the outside and plenty of leather inside. Lovely smooth engine with a very nice column change. Delightful to drive ...

HERE is a really rare 1947 early Riley RMB, the the sought after 2.5 twin cam engine. V5 states just seven previous owners from new and she is on the button and drives through her gears. Brakes need going through. She is a pretty enough example and note that sleek design. The bonnet is six inches longer than the sister ...

THIS is my 1987 Austin Maestro 500 City van in Champagne Beige. She has covered just 47,000 miles and has an MoT until September of this year. She is amazing condition for an 80s van and has clearly led a sheltered life. Her load bay is in excellent order as is the underside, the cabin floors and the engine bay. She has ...

RARELY seen these days, this is my 1976 Triumph 1500TC. These twin carb models were typical of the Triumph brand, offering little pocket rockets which were also idea as 4-door family cars. This delightful old girl has recently come into my possession after emerging from a decent spell of time in dry storage. I am told, ...

THIS is my 1957 Ford Prefect deluxe in outstanding condition all round. A 1950s show car if ever I saw one. These once utilitarian Fords were built at Dagenham at the rate of around 100,000 per year. The remaining numbers must be tragically low as the bulk of them were driven into the ground. In a manner of speaking. This ...

HERE is a mega rare 1958 Morris Isis Series II. This model had a very short production span with less than 4,000 being built. The story goes that BMC was so obsessed with launching their brand new Farina shape (which they did later that year) that the Series II Isis and Oxford were phased out very quickly. You will not ...

NORMALLY, when you hear or read about classic Mercedes cars being "low mileage", then it usually transpires that their low miles are something in the region of 150,000. Well here is my 1985 280SE with just 78,000 miles on the clock and with full service history too. The first eight stamps in the service book are from the ...

THIS is my 1964 MG 1100, the sporty version of the ADO 16 range of 1100/1300s which is rarely seen these days. Fitted with the 1098cc Cooper unit and twin carbs, this is a real fun little sporty number in a real period sort of "duck egg" blue. Excellent interior, sports steering wheel, very good underneath and with the ...

HERE's an extremely rare bird. A Mark 2 Cortina estate with bench seat and column change. She's a nice old girl and I had her cruising spot on at 60mph today on a stretch of the old A1. Appears to be very sound underneath and old invoices and MoTs don't show any evidence of what you would call structural work. From the ...

HERE we have a 1957 P4 Rover 60 with just two owners from new! The first, a Miss Eliza Dick, owned the car from brand new until 1983 when she sold it to a Mr Douglas Taylor. They are the only two previous owners of this proud old girl. Recently re-trimmed in a shade of light red, she is on the button and the engine sounds ...

THIS is my 1937 Morris 14 Series II, readily identifiable by its chrome radiator grille. She is two-tone blue and black and in super condition for an 84-year-old 6-cylinder classic. Solid, pretty and with a delightfully period art-deco style interior, she is a rare bird indeed these days. This model was a flagship vehicle ...

THIS is my 1964 Singer Gazelle in burgundy with a grey stripe and excellent contrasting cream interior and stunning wooden dash. She has covered just 59,000 miles and is about as nice as you will expect to find when it comes to these up-market Rootes Group cars. A beautiful driver and stunning looker, she also has metal ...

A 1962 WOLSELEY 1500 which, in my view, would be an ideal everyday user. I suppose it's a kind of an oily rag type of classic. Although I am maybe being a little harsh on the old girl. She has just four previous owners and came from a home where the owner used her as everyday and reliable transport. She does catch the ...

DEPOSIT TAKEN. A VERY rare Series 1 Hillman Minx with the 1390cc engine. She is an April 1957 model and she drives beautifully. A solid example and a pretty and eye-catching 1950s classic. Appears to be good underneath, interior floor pans, engine bay and boot. No damage to the seats or head lining. Lovely dash where ...

A VERY early MG YA, registered in September 1947. She is in delightful order and drives well showing good oil pressure. A really pretty example of this highly sought after sports saloon. Vin/chassis number YO614. Her interior is just as nice with a beautiful period dash and original leather seats which have matured ...

THIS is my early Series II Morris Minor split screen which - take it from me - is definitely a lovely shade of dark green. I mention that at the start because when I look at my photos, they could lead people to think that the old girl is black. She is green! She is a 1953 model and, as such, still carries the mesh "cheese ...

THIS is my 1963 Ford Anglia van in bright red, as in Fire Engine red. Indeed, if my memory serves me correctly, Ford Anglia vans were actually used by the English Fire Services as small commercials. I am sure I can picture one now with a blue light on the roof and Coats of Arms of the appropriate County on the side panels ...

A RARE sight these days, here is my 1957 Humber Hawk Mark VIA. This was the last of the entire Hawk "Mark" range. It was the only one to have the 2267cc ohv engine fitted as all previous versions had been side valves. This was indeed a late one as it was registered in the same month that the new shape Hawk was launched ...

THIS Triumph Vitesse 2 litre Mark 2 is incredibly solid with a superb chassis and excellent panel work. It is not a car to be associated with rust and rot. It does however need painting, mainly due to what appears to be an older paint job which has faded and maybe caught too much sun! She is the highly sought after ...

THIS is my 1966 Triumph Spitfire Mark II. She is a January, 1966 model on a D reg. The Mark II is the rarest of all five Spitfire models and fewer were built than any of the other variants. Between 2010 and 2013, she underwent a lengthy restoration process and bills are included in her history file to back this up. ...
