We didn’t ever think to see an Aston Martin still in a barn and, most of all, in a barn situated in France. This DB2/4 is said to be a 1957 car, so it has been made during the last year of this model and it’s called MKII, ore second series. Unfortunately this ad features… Read More Still in the barn: 1957 Aston Martin DB2/4
It’s not the first time we see a car (or more than one) which is leaved in a garage soon after having been restored: this time the protagonist is a 1947 MG TC. The seller says that this car is stored in his mom’s house which is going to be sold: of course this is… Read More Restored then forgotten: 1947 MG TC “Twin spare”
This particular (and, to us, very fascinating) cabriolet Called Zephyr Six (aka Mark I) was built by Ford UK from 1950 to 1956 and it was considered a full-size car. Although it could seem a small car at a glance, it was equipped with a ohv, inline-six engine with a 2,200 cc displacement, producing 68… Read More Brick-shaped classic: 1955 Ford Zephyr Six Convertible
This 1970 Lotus europa belongs to the Series 2 Federal, or rather to the DOT approved Lotus cars. Back then Lotus had to make some modifications so their cars could be approved by Department Of Transportation: both modifications on engine pollution and chassis structure. It is clear that it’s not the mosta valuable twin cam… Read More Federal yellow: 1970 Lotus Europa Type 65
Ok we don’t know if this car was made in 1964, 65 or 66 as the seller didn’t say it, so we have decided to publish it with the first production year of this series. Indeed the seller didn’t say much about the car: basically he said nothing of this car but is prepared according… Read More Affordable racer: 1964 Ford Cortina Lotus
This 1st series E-Type has arrived to us from the early days of rock’n’roll: watching those very old tires it’s clear that this former car has been abandoned somewhere many years ago and then cannibalized of its engine and transmission. Now it’s just a rolling chassis. Someone could say that it’s just a parts car as restoring… Read More Rock and rolling: 1963 Jaguar E-Type Coupé
Dellow was a little company born in 1946 near Birmingham, UK, founded by Ken Delingpole and Ron Lowe: the brand is indeed made by their combined surnames. The company was specialized in selling and installing performance parts for the cars which went to trial races. In 1954 they started to use the new Ford 100E engine in both… Read More Aircraft inside: 1954 Dellow MK-V
It’s odd seeing a 1958 car sold directly by its first owner, but this seems just the case. Indeed the owner (and seller) says that he bought this car new in Germany (probably he was in the army back then) with a Le Mans engine kit. It is a four seat BN4 L with black interior, overdrive, disk wheels.… Read More One owner did 162K miles: 1958 Austin Healey 100-6 BN4L
The Banshee was the female forest spirit in the irish popular tradition, in this case her name was borrowed by the fiberglass producer who dressed this 1957 MGA chassis. Many of these cars have been over-used during the years so many of the remaining cars got enormous wheels, V8 powerplants and many incorrect modifications: this… Read More Road spirit: 1957 MG A Banshee
The seller of this one-off fiberglass berlinetta based on a 1957 Triumph TR3 chassis is a usual Classic Virus reader and he’s a true classic cars enthusiast. He submitted to us this nice car which body was made probably in the early sixties in the U.S.A., during the “Fiberglass era”. The photo above shows the… Read More Seller submission: One-off 1957 Triumph TR3 “Berlinetta”
