HERE is a delightful Mark 2 Ford Consul Highline in pale green with a great body, lovely paint and a super interior. Even the outstanding engine bay is on a par with the rest of this superb 1950s classic. Note the early style Consul - before the later "lowline" Consul 375. Smaller and less imposing rear light clusters ...
Ah, the Wolseley 4/44. My first ever classic car a good few decades ago around the time that we slowly learning to change from "old bangers" to classics. I have always loved the shape and style from childhood and, to this day, I still believe that it stands up as something of an iconic design from the pen of the world ...
HERE is a truly lovely example of a rarely seen model these days - the "Arrow" Singer Vogue auto with that tried, tested and hugely admired Rootes Group 1725cc engine. Totally rock solid,, including superb steel wings, sills, door bottoms and arches, she is a genuine eye catching 60s classic. Just today she has covered ...
HERE we have a delightfully original 1955 Morris Oxford Series II 1500cc in the then BMC colour of Sandy Beige. I very much doubt that this totally honest and rock solid old girl has ever been re-painted during the course of her 64-year-old life. Touched up here and there yes. Sandy Beige has a kind of pinkish tinge to ...
Well, here is a truly wonderful 1964 Ford Cortina Mark 1 1500 deluxe estate. One of the very first "airflow" models with the two big switches under the dash to open dashboard air vents left and right! Now fully restored after two years of loving work and finished to show standard. You will struggle to find a nicer Mark ...
THIS 1968 Rover P5B 3.5 auto was built in April, 1968 and despatched to a Rover dealership in Ireland later the same month. There is a British Motor Heritage Certificate on record, stating that it was the first ever P5B to be exported to Ireland and also just the fourth RHD export model to come off the production line. ...
THE Sunbeam Rapier IIIA is a pretty rare beast and was the first model within the Rapier range to be given a 1600cc engine with twin Zenith carbs. This resulted in an output of 80bhp, no mean feat for a British sports saloon in the early sixties! This totally delightful example, registered in June 1962, still wears ...
What a stunning looking 1965 Hillman Super Imp in Aquarius Metallic Blue, a correct Imp colour. The story as best I have been able to piece together is that she was dry stored around the mid to late-seventies and did not appear from hibernation until around 40 years later in 2017 when the previous owner discovered her. ...
I HAVE always thought that the early style Farina models had the best "Italianate look". That is to say that the way those marvellous rear wings rear up so proudly as if pointing towards the sky cannot fail to catch the eye. For me - and I have stated this several times over the years - the "rounded off" arches that succeeded ...
HERE is my delightfully luxurious Humber Super Snipe - a 1966 model and a real throwback to the days of opulent motoring at its best. The Rootes Group always knew how to create luxury on wheels and very few makes and models could compete with the Super Snipe back in the mid-sixties! This super, sleek and sliver Snipe ...
HERE is a simply stunning Viva HB 4-door with just 38k miles on the clock! She is an ultra-rare 4-door as the bulk of HBs came off the production line as 2-doors. Vauxhall decided to add a further two doors quite late on. This is a truly magnificent example of the much sought after - as well as exceedingly rare - "coke ...
HERE is a truly amazing Vauxhall Astra Mark 1 1300s GL 5-door in what I seem to recall was called Henna Red with orange velour upholstery. How pure early 80s! In actual fact, these very early Astras were Opel Kadetts with Vauxhall badges. They were built in West Germany with the manufacturer's name on the Vin plate ...
All my classic cars are treated as the equivalent of motoring antiques. This one, for example, is 59-years-old this month! They cannot be compared to the wife's six-month-old Chelsea tractor and they are bound to come with imperfections, quirks and bits and pieces that will need attention even if it is some time in the ...
Here's my 1967 Triumph Vitesse 2 litre Mark 1 in Valencia Blue. Overall, a presentable 60s sports saloon which drives superbly. I can vouch for that. I have just done 30 miles in her this morning and she certainly loves being put through her paces. At 70pmh-plus (beware of Police, even in a classic!) she is totally comfortable. ...
HERE'S my lovely 1964 Morris Minor Traveller in Almond Green. Being an earlier model, it comes with the superb duo-tone interior and light coloured speedo - features I always liked on these cars. She is in great nick paint and body-wise and much the same can be said of her underneath and her timber work. She has a current ...
