This is the second part of the collection that Gabriel, one of our readers, has decided to sell. As already said yesterday, we will just expose the photos he sent and the description of the vehicles he made to us: we continue to emphasize that we have no direct affiliation with the seller (in this… Read More The southern sale, part 2
Gabriel, a reader from Venezuela, contacted us because he decided to sell his collection of classic cars, some more, others a little less). The collection on sale consists of 15 cars and two motorcycles; for each of these vehicles gabrial has provided us with photos and detailed explanation (in this he has been very precise),… Read More The southern sale, part 1
It is the first time ever that we see this car, probably for two reasons: it is rare and, perhaps, it is not among the most beautiful cars in the history of motoring. There are so few around if you are looking for this model, many of the photos that appear are the same as… Read More Mini Barracuda: 1969 Sunbeam Alpine Fastback
If we find a rare classic car, it is very likely that it will be published by us: let alone a car produced in a single specimen. In this particular case, as has often happened, the manufacturer and coachbuilder have different nationalities: the first is Jaguar, a brand that needs no introduction, the second is… Read More One off cat: 1952 Jaguar XK 120 Roadster by Beutler
It’s not that we forgot to put the year of the car in the title, the fact is that the seller didn’t write it. In fact, this Elite, perhaps the most beautiful Lotus ever produced, is a “Type 14”, produced from 1957 to 1963: we are not Lotus experts so we are unable to deduce,… Read More Needs cosmetics: Lotus Elite Type 14
This is the 16th Italia 2000 on sale published by us since we are online, probably because we have a soft spot for this car. Having in fact fully restored a specimen ten years ago, we can say that we know it well enough even if there are certainly people who know more about it… Read More The 16th one: 1961 Italia 2000 by Vignale
This E-type has been stored for ten years and in all this time it has never been covered by a sheet: in theory this is not correct but on the other hand now the car has the classic patina of the barn find. The car has a beautiful color (Opalescent Silver Blue) and beautiful blue… Read More Blue sleeper: 1966 Jaguar E-Type 2+2
There are basically three ways to approach a classic car: buy one in perfect condition, buy a driver to whom you will plan all the necessary chores, or buy a wreck and arrange it according to your wishes. Certainly the last option often proves to be the most expensive even if, initially, it can give… Read More Two for one: 1967 Sunbeam Tiger
“Ashley” is not the name of a friend of ours but that of a model produced by the British company Falcon Shells, a model that we have already published a few years ago. The Competition MKII was in fact introduced in 1959 as a car intended primarily for competitions (as the name suggests) and the… Read More After Ashley: 1959 Falcon Shells Competition MKII
This post, as well as all the others to follow, are dedicated to my nephew Quinn, born yesterday. And, to celebrate the event, today there will be three posts instead of one. “Live long and prosper”, as Leonard Nimoy used to say. “To Catch a Thief” is the title of the film in which Cary… Read More Welcome, Quinn: 1953 Sunbeam Alpine MKI
