This is the third part of the collection that Gabriel, one of our readers, has decided to sell. As already said, 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 regard,… Read More The southern sale, part 3

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
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
This post, as well as all the others to follow, are dedicated to my nephew Quinn, born yesterday.

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
Mark contacted us as he wants to downsize his collection after some events made him think about what’s important and what’s not, so here it is part of the collection he’s getting rid of: many important pieces, some unique. It’s useless that we describe all the items, so we’ll copy and paste his own words.… Read More From California: A collection for sale
