We are sincere, we did not know. We didn’t know that Triumph had ever produced a four-valve motor per cylinder, moreover installed on a mass-produced car, and here it is. The Dolomite, in this version called Sprint, was born to face the rivals of the time, the sedans with a sporting vocation like the BMW… Read More Early four valves: 1975 Triumph Dolomite Sprint
There are many ways to have fun and one of them is to take a wreck and make it come back like new. Of course, it is not an “inexpensive” way to have fun but it is also true that at the end of the day you will have something left in your hands, while… Read More Work with friends: Many cars for sale
This car could also be called Ford Falcon, but not because it was produced by the British branch of the Detroit factory. It was in fact produced by Falcon Cars, a small English company that produced fiberglass bodies to be installed on a Ford (British) four-cylinder chassis and engine: the goal, like many of its… Read More Italian style: 1964 Falcon Caribbean Coupé
Obviously this is not the first Sunbeam Tiger that we see for sale, but of all those views is definitely the one we like best. The reasons are various: the Carnival Red paint is very beautiful and fits perfectly with the original hardtop covered with black vinyl and we like very much the tires with… Read More Going to carnival: 1965 Sunbeam Tiger MK1
We know this model well; having already fully restored an Italy 2000, this car has few secrets for us. However, as often happens, even this car has its peculiarity that we have never seen before on an Italia 2000 (in this case we are talking about the Vignale body #180): the engine currently installed is… Read More Parchment white: 1961 Italia 2000 by Vignale
The seller of this Sunbeam Tiger claims to have bought the car from a dot-com guy in San Francisco some year ago, and that the car is a real survivor. The person from whom he bought it, in fact, was responsible for rebuilding the drivetrain and all the mechanical systems in order to use the… Read More True survivor: 1965 Sunbeam Tiger
The intent of many car builders during the 60s and 70s was to build beautiful, powerful but not overly expensive cars, and there was only one way to achieve this. In fact, the solution consisted of coupling a European body, generally more suited to a sports car, to an American engine that, although not technically… Read More Protein cure: 1964 Sunbeam Tiger
Another E-Type Jaguar? Why not? In the end it is an icon of the automotive industry and, last but not least, it is beautiful. But if the E-Type roadster looks beautiful in picture you should see one live: now we know that it is very rare to spot one in the wild but it is… Read More Unknown issue: 1965 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 O.T.S.
We have seen cars to be restored in any conditions, but it is the first time we see one that recalls the appearance of Tutankhamun’s mummy when Howard Carter took it out of his sarcophagus. Maybe that’s because of the black paint dried (and cracked) under the sun of California, and perhaps also because the… Read More The mummy: 1969 Jaguar E-Type O.T.S.
In the middle of Death Valley we would have expected everything but certainly not a Jaguar D-Type, even if it is a replica. A beautiful replica we must add, in the sense that even though it does not seem reproduced with much fidelity to the original, it seems a replica made very well: the painting… Read More Death Valley cat: 1954 Jaguar D-Type replica
