Fallen Luxury: 1985 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit

Celebrity Owner: 1968 Jaguar E-Type

Family Owned V12: 1990 Jaguar XJS Convertible

Man Cave Find: 1980 Triumph TR8
The Triumph TR8 has all the hallmarks of a collector-grade automobile, but it is still available at a relatively modest price. Limited production, a V8 stuffed in a small car, and legitimate British pedigree make it the kind of… more»

Ultra Compact British Camper: 1967 Sunbeam Funwagon

Runs and Drives: 1952 MG TD

Pre-Airflow Project: 1967 Lotus Elan Coupe
Lotus founder Colin Chapman famously pursued performance by adding lightness, and few road cars embodied that philosophy more completely than the Elan.

New Everything! 1962 Sunbeam Alpine
I’ll admit it, I’m a sucker for Sunbeam’s Alpine, such as this 1962 example. It’s simple; for me, it’s all about the styling. A designer named Kenneth Howes is responsible for most of the penmanship, and I believe he… more»

Running Project: 1969 Triumph GT6 Mk II
Which is your favorite version of Triumph’s GT6? The early cars with their upright grilles, direct from Michelotti’s pen? The second series, its suspension reformed to tame the swing-axle? Or the Mk III’s modernized sheet metal and roomier cabin?… more»

Will It Run?: 1971 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow
This might be a good idea, or it might be a very, very bad one. On the surface, five grand for a genuine official Rolls-Royce doesn’t seem like that much money. The car in question, seen here on ebay,… more»
