Actually “barn” is a sweet word used in the title but this car looks to be stored somewhere more likely to a container than a barn. However, the point is that this car has been stored since many years and, if the period photo provided by the seller is one of the last taken before… Read More Farewell barn, hello world: 1953 MG TD
We’d never imagine that a little economy car could have such stance if properly lowered like this MG 1100. And, that’s even more surprising as we’re talking about a one owner, exceptionally preserved car. The seller says that this car was sold new in San Francisco, CA. and that the owner has always kept this vehicle indoors… Read More Stancefully yours: 1966 MG 1100
After a two years production (1958-1960) and a little more than 2000 cars made, the MG A Twin Cam came out of the production lines, both because the engine used to give much troubles to the owners and for its high selling price. However, just after the end of the production, the cause of such… Read More Rough diamond: 1958 MG-A Twin Cam
If we must be sincere, we don’t like the Cortina so much under the aesthetic point of view. It has a quite bulky look but no one can say that it hasn’t temper. Moreover this car, cute or not, “gives its opinion” in every classic cars race it joins, thanks to its lightness and the… Read More Like Jim Clark: 1965 Ford Cortina Lotus
We are used to see many rebodied italian cars but rarely we’ve seen a rebodied AH 100/6: this car is said to have been rebodied during the sixties and, for sure, who made this was both influenced by the Ferrari California and the Corvette C3. Indeed the nose looks like a Corvette C3 while the… Read More Total crossbreed: 1957 Austin Healey 100/6 “The California”
If we should give a physical representation of the “Minimal art” concept, it would be this car. It’s an Ashley Sport 750 with a fiberglass body which clearly winks at period italian race barchetta’s. This car is the quintessence of the word “simple”: one engine, one chassis, two seats and four wheels: it’s even hard… Read More Minimal art: 1957 Ashley 750 Sport MKI
This car has not the easiest name of the world to be pronounced, but for sure is one of the streamiest lines ever made for a station wagon: Michelotti made a great work here. It’s a 1973 – fiberglass bodied – Reliant Scimitar powered by the “Essex” V6 Ford engine: 150 h.p. are enough to… Read More Sleeker is better: 1973 Reliant Scimitar GTE 3.0 SE5-A
For sure this is not the best looking Lotus ever made, but at least you can say that it’s very rare. Few more than 1,500 cars were made and we’re pretty sure that less than the half have survived. It’s however a 1050 kg (2300 pounds) car pushed by an inline-four, twin cam engine which… Read More Ugly duckling: 1977 Lotus Eclat
Again, here is another car of which we did not know the existence. It is called Rochedale Olympic and it was built in 1966 by Rochdale Motor panel which was founded in 1948 by Frank Butterworth and Harry Smith in an old mill building in Rochdale, England. Indeed whoever has a little knowledge of classic… Read More British fiber: 1966 Rochedale Olympic Phase II
