The Jaguar E-Type needs little introduction, but the earliest 1961 “flat floor” fixed-head coupes occupy a category of their own. Built before a series of running changes were introduced, these first-production cars are among the most desirable E-Types, especially when they retain their original mechanical identity and documented history. Their rarity has made them some… Read More 1 of 3: 1961 Jaguar E-Type FHC

We were talking, a few posts ago, about the search for originality in collecting, and here we have a Cabriolet popping up in a non-exceptional condition, but certainly original.

454 c.i, convertible, 4 speed, one owner, 13,326 original miles: it is an excellent business card for a car that has become an icon.

Hermosa Beach is the city where this car spent most of its life: indeed this 2000 Spider (chassis 102.04.00358) looks very dry and preserved. It is said that its last run was in 1977. Of course 55 years are not few for whatever car, so now this elegant spider needs a total restoration; however there… Read More Muy Hermosa: 1959 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider by Touring
We’ve read so many stories about cars parked many years because of whatever reason, nut we never read of a car parked 40 years because of a bad water pump: this is what the seller says.
