  • Simulated Sebring: 1959 Austin-Healey Sprite

    Simulated Sebring: 1959 Austin-Healey Sprite

    The Austin Healey Sprite set a record for sports car affordability in the U.S. when it went on sale in 1958 for less than $1,900. It was both simple and advanced at the same time – simple in its small size and no-frills approach to comfort and interior appointments, and advanced because it was the first mass-produced unit-bodied sports car.

  • 1967 Morgan 4/4 Competition

    1967 Morgan 4/4 Competition

    The Morgan 4/4 has been a special car since its introduction in 1936. You can still buy a brand new one today and it will be hand-built much like its ancestors were in decades past. With all the new high-tech construction methods and little regard for craftsmanship today, it really makes the Morgan standout. Still there isn’t anything like an original, especially when it is still like new. This 1967 Morgan 4/4 Competition has reportedly only covered 3,382 miles in its lifetime. Find it here on eBay in Stuarts Draft, Virginia. (more…)

  • Baby Aston: 1969 MGC GT

    Baby Aston: 1969 MGC GT

    This is not your common run-of-the-mill MGB GT. The MGC appeared in the BMC lineup during late 1967 as the replacement for the much-loved but out-of-production Austin Healey 3000. Unfortunately it lasted only until 1969 before production halted. BMC may have claimed that it was a substitute for the big Healey, but we think it has more in common with an Aston Martin. Find this 1969 MGC GT survivor here on eBay in Anaheim, California. (more…)
