Martin Howey Classics

THIS is an unbelievably rare car. She is a 1937 Talbot Ten "Airline" sports coupe, so named for its then aerodynamic design and sleek looks. The Talbot Motor Company had only just been taken over by the world famous Rootes Group at this stage and Rootes based the luxurious sports coupe on the chassis of the Hillman Minx ...

THIS, in my opinion, is a super example of the Riley 4/72 which back in the day was the model at the very top of the "Farina" tree. The pecking order from the bottom ran as follows: Austin Cambridge, Morris Oxford, Wolseley 16/60, MG Magnette and Riley 4/72! The Riley, like the Magnette, came with twin carbs and knocked ...

THE Austin and Morris 1300GT, launched in 1969, proved to be an instant hit with its styling, sporting looks and 70bhp engine lifted from the MG 1300 which in turn had been lifted from the Mini Cooper S. Very few have survived and even fewer tend to be offered for sale. Sometimes there may be a handful on the market ...

THIS is my 1962 Austin Healey Sprite. It's a rare Mark 2, the Mark 1 being the Frogeye Sprite. This is a proper little 60s sports car with a well tuned 948cc engine and that correct vroom vroom feeling. They are great lookers these Mark 2s. Still with plenty of Frogeye design on show here with the same dashboard before ...

THIS is my 1989 Austin Mini City E which has been fitted with a 1275 Cooper engine and looks really superb with wide wheels (new tyres) and a contrasting black roof. She has an MoT until March 2021 (no advisories). I am told by the previous owner that recently she has been treated to new sills, rear subframe, rear valance, ...

MY PHOTOGRAPHY AGAIN! THIS AMAZON IS BRIGHT RED. RED AS A TOMATO, AND NOT ORANGE AS IT LOOKS HERE. THANKS. THIS is my 1965 Volvo Amazon. I can't tell you very much about it because I don't know an awful lot. It began life as a 121 but now has the Amazon two-litre (1986cc), twin carb unit fitted. As you can, she is ...

HERE is my 1969 Ford Cortina 1600E, the Holy Grail of Mark 2 Cortinas and rarely seen offered for sale now as I think those who are fortunate enough to own one are not to keen on parting with them. A straight and strong example with only 3 former keepers stated on the V5 and so she has not been around the houses owner-wise ...

HERE is my 1963 Singer Gazelle Series V 1600cc which is oh so pretty and has a full MoT until October 2021. Secondly, her speedo reads 27,000 miles which could very well be correct as she appears to have been dry stored for some time prior to 2003 when the engine was removed and totally rebuilt. Also, which quite probably ...
