Back to life: 1964 Sunbeam Tiger

This Sunbeam Tiger is, for the uninitiated, a little british roadster pushed by an american V8: basically what you see is not what you hear. The seller says that this is a true survivor as it has been stored since the ’70s but only recently it has been brough back to life: now it has… Read More Back to life: 1964 Sunbeam Tiger

Jensen touch: 1952 Austin A40 Sports

Although being named with “Sports”, this model was actually a tourer (not even fast) built by Jensen with an aluminium skin: few of these survive today. Jensen built the bodies of these little cabriolets, then send them to Austin which completed the assembly of the car: it is said that 4,000 of these car were… Read More Jensen touch: 1952 Austin A40 Sports

Blue cat: 1966 Sunbeam Tiger

The Sunbeam Tiger is one of those cars that merge the best of both sides of the pond: a typical british roadster style with american muscle. The basis of this car was of course the Sunbeam Alpine in which it was transplanted, thanks to the collaboration of Carroll Shelby, a 4261 c.c. (260 c.i.) Ford… Read More Blue cat: 1966 Sunbeam Tiger

#234: 1960 Italia 2000 by Vignale

Another TR3 today, this time however it has been dressed by Vignale upon Michelotti’s design and it is much rarer than a common TR3. We know these cars first of all because in the past we’ve restored one, then because it’s not the first Italia 2000 published here. For sure this one (Vignale body #234)… Read More #234: 1960 Italia 2000 by Vignale

Starts and runs: 1959 Triumph TR3 A

This red Triumph TR3 A is said to be a barn find purchased from the previous owner and then driven home where it is now. It starts and drives but needs “everything”. Indeed it seems an “honest” car although, of course, these british cars are well known to be prone to rust: there is some… Read More Starts and runs: 1959 Triumph TR3 A

Steel wheels: 1960 MG A Twin Cam

Once again, the seller of this rare Twin Cam has omitted to report the build year of this MGA, one of the 2,100 produced with the twin cam engine from 1958 to 1960. Other than having a special engine, this car was equipped with a set of steel wheel (no wire wheels on these) and… Read More Steel wheels: 1960 MG A Twin Cam

Partially matching: 1960 Italia 2000 by Vignale

This is one of the Italia 2000, based on the Triumph TR3 engine, gearbox and chassis, which is going to be saved just like many of them did in the last years. This though, it’s still far to be completed. Indeed it seems a car which had severe rust problems and then man parts have… Read More Partially matching: 1960 Italia 2000 by Vignale

Bare metal: 1959 ACE Bristol Roadster

The mother of the Shelby Cobra was not born with a V8 inside but with a sophisticated inline-six, twin cam engine like the one which pushes this car (chassis #BEX1071) which is said to have been off-road since 1978. As you can see the body is made of aluminium and, during the restoration project (not… Read More Bare metal: 1959 ACE Bristol Roadster

Best of: 1968 Jaguar E-Type 2+2 “Custom”

We had to do it. This is not the typical car we publish here but, as long as this ad will for sure enter in the “eBay Best Of”, we too wanted to be there. This custom was born as a Jaguar E-Type 2+2 but then something happened: “Hi to all, my name is peter… Read More Best of: 1968 Jaguar E-Type 2+2 “Custom”
