Years ago we published another Austin Healey with a fiberglass body made by the American Jamaica, but that time it was an open body, very different from this one. This Austin Healey in fact has a “Berlinetta” bodywork whose lateral lines closely resemble those of the Lamborghini Miura without being a ridiculous copy. Indeed, it… Read More Mini Miura: 1959 Austin Healey 3000 Mk1 Jamaican
The seller of this very rare car which, including us, few know, has been rather stingy in the description; consequently we will try to fill these gaps. The point is that it is not only this model that is rare (as it is produced in only 45 units), but the entire production of this mysterious… Read More 1 of 45: 1947 HRG Aerodynamic
Apparently only 145 of them were made, Touring of Milano took care of their build and, consequently, they all had aluminum bodywork. The goal of Sunbeam was to rely on one of the most famous Italian ateliers to build an elegant coupé that could compete, for example, with the Lancia Flaminia built from the same… Read More The Italian Job/3: 1964 Sunbeam Venezia by Touring
We have often seen many Porsche 356s in these conditions (and many have been published), but this is the first one we find in these conditions. It is in fact a substantially original car, probably repainted in black once: probably this layer was very thin and in fact it seems that it can be detached… Read More Highly original: 1954 Jaguar XK120 O.T.S.
This car is much more beautiful than it actually appears in these photos, and is also powered by a muscular Chrysler 318 engine. It is in fact a Bristol 409 of 1968 (in reality we believe that ’68 is the date of US registration since this model was built until ’67) produced, from what the… Read More 1 of 74: 1968 Bristol 409
We have already seen so many Jaguar e-types, but every now and then – very rarely – a very special one emerges from the darkness. This is the case of this OTS (Open Two Seater), one of the very first produced by the Coventry factory, which has very special characteristics, although to the majority they… Read More Details matter: 1961 Jaguar E-Type O.T.S.
What we have here is a package consisting of two very interesting cars, an English to be restored and an Italian one to drive. We must start by saying that both cars are rare: English is certainly rare, the Italian is very rare and it is really difficult to see around. Another difference lies in… Read More Britaly: 1953 Arnolt-MG Convertible + 1948 Siata SC 750 by Motto
This Italia 2000 is one of the very latest built, and in fact is a model produced in 1963, we do not know the chassis number but it could belong to a TR3 / A. It seems that the car was sold new in the US even in 1964 so when, practically, the production of… Read More High number: 1963 Italia 2000 Coupé by Vignale
The Lotus 907 engine installed in this Jensen Healey was called “The Torqueless Wonder” for its lack of bottom end but good high end horsepower. Certainly the behavior does not surprise us: ask for 144 bhp to a 2000 c.c. naturally aspirated, built almost 50 years ago, and also to expect a consistent driving couple… Read More Torqueless Wonder: 1973 Jensen Healey
Who says Custom culture has been limited only to the United States? Also in Italy he found followers although, due to the restrictive laws on motor vehicle modifications, everything was more difficult. Nevertheless, in the past many have experimented with “different” solutions for their mechanical vehicles with two, three or four wheels, as in the… Read More Hybrid output: 1953 Lancia – Ariel Square Four MKII
