The Triumph TR8 was the V8-powered evolution of the TR7 and, despite its short production run, has become one of the more interesting British sports cars of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Around 2,800 TR8s were officially sold in the United States, but the early carbureted examples are considerably scarcer than the later fuel-injected… Read More Rare V8: 1980 Triumph TR8
The Aston Martin DB Mark III occupies an important place in the company’s history as the final evolution of the David Brown-era DB2 lineage before the arrival of the DB4. Introduced in 1957, it combined a more refined chassis with Tadek Marek’s revised 2.9-litre straight-six, and offered performance that made it one of Britain’s premier… Read More LHD Brit: 1957 Aston Martin DB MKIII LHD
The Fiat 1100/103 opened a new phase for Fiat when it appeared in 1953, with a modern unitary body and a more contemporary shape than the earlier 1100 series. That matters here because the listing describes this car as a 1948 Fiat 1100 Pininfarina, but that date is not consistent with a 1100/103-based car. If… Read More White puzzle: 1953 FIAT 1100-103 Coupé by Pininfarina
The 240Z no longer needs much introduction, but cars like these are not interesting simply because they wear the badge. What matters now is the condition in which they survive. Many have already been restored, modified, repainted in brighter colours than they deserve, or rebuilt from weaker foundations. A pair of complete, title-bearing cars still… Read More Full red: Two 1972 Datsun 240Z
The Convertible D occupies a narrow place in the 356 story. Built by Drauz after the Speedster and before the Roadster fully took over, it kept the low, open character of the earlier car in a more transitional form. That alone makes it more interesting than a standard late-1950s 356, but with a project like… Read More Hawaiian project: 1959 Porsche 356A Convertible D
The 1973 911 Targa sits at the end of the early long-hood period, just before the impact-bumper generation changed the shape and character of the model. That gives it an automatic place in the 911 timeline, but cars like this are not interesting simply because of the year. On an early 911 project, what matters… Read More Very project: 1973 Porsche 911 2.4 T Targa
The Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider Touring belongs to the period when Alfa Romeo was trying to move slightly upmarket without giving up its twin-cam four-cylinder formula. Built by Touring, the Spider used the shortened 2000 platform and combined refined proportions with relatively advanced mechanical specification for the time, including the 1,975 cc engine and five-speed… Read More Big challenge: 1962 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider by Touring
This ASA 1000 GT Berlinetta (chassis 01302, engine 173/219) is one of those cars where pedigree matters more than displacement. Conceived in the mid-1960s as an Italian answer to the small European GT class, it traces back to a project initiated at Enzo Ferrari’s request and shaped by names that need no introduction: Giotto Bizzarrini… Read More Taped-up: 1965 ASA 1000 GT Berlinetta
This 1959 Lancia Aurelia B24S Convertible is presented as a long-hidden discovery and one of the most desirable open Aurelia variants. The “B24S” designation refers to the Sinistra (left-hand drive) configuration, and the model is described as one of 521 built. As the more developed evolution of the earlier B24 Spider, the Convertible retained the… Read More Old silver: 1959 Lancia Aurelia B24S Convertibile
What you have here is essentially a specialist’s piece: an early Jaguar E-Type in flat-floor roadster configuration, with a louvered bonnet and the number noted as #876258. For people who follow these cars, “flat floor” is not trivia—it refers to the earliest E-Types, with first-phase construction details that are sought after precisely because they belong… Read More Hardtop equipped: 1962 Jaguar E-Type O.T.S.
