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
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
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
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
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
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”
The seller says that this car is a very easy project as its body is plenty of dime-size issues which can be easily fixed: more than a project, we see a car which can be driven as is. Actually the true bug of this car is that the engine block and cylinder head match each… Read More A matter of dime: 1953 Jaguar XK120 O.T.S.
We often see these Jensen CV-8 for sale but, basically every time, they are RHD cars and that makes them less attractive for the countries out of the Commonwealth. This one is one of the two LHD cars produced in 1965. This car is said to be found in a dry warehouse where it sat for… Read More V8 power: 1965 Jensen C-V8 III
Few british car makers, in the early fifties, were in the business with a twin cam engine on the front: one was Jaguar, of course, the other one was the less known Riley. Riley started to build these car in 1948 until 1951, especially in order to export them to the north america market, ut… Read More British hemi: 1951 Riley RMC
This Sunbeam Venezia (chassis #009/145) is one of the first made and one of the very few cars survived so far: actually this has not survived well but still it is in one piece only. That’s easy for these cars to have a nice body as it’s made of aluminium so rust is never a… Read More Alu look & feel: 1964 Sunbeam Venezia by Touring
