Ready To Drive: 1976 MG Midget

Ungainly looking? Yes, a bit, the protruding rubber bumpers do it no favors. The jacked-up stance doesn’t help either but this 1976 MG Midget is in pretty spectacular condition. One day to go in the bidding, so look fast…. more»

Original Survivor: 1963 Triumph TR3B

The owner of this 1963 Triumph TR3B purchased the car approximately 10-years-ago. He chose not to restore the vehicle, but to retain it as an original survivor. It runs and drives and is ready to be enjoyed immediately. Alternatively,… more»

One Owner 440 Powered 1974 Jensen Interceptor

Last week I opined about automobile model names and queried a thought about what do they really mean? That thread continues today with the Jensen Interceptor. When I first heard that combination of brand and model name many years… more»

Brand New Engine: 1960 Austin-Healey Sprite

It’s like a cute little go-cart. And that’s not being dismissive, it’s a tip of the hat to Austin-Healey’s “Bugeye” (or what our friends across the pond refer to as a “Frogeye”) Sprite. It’s a tiny little package of… more»

Recent Refit: 1968 Commer Camper Van

One of the joys of writing for Barn Finds is that occasionally a vehicle will come across our desks which can revive long-forgotten childhood memories. This 1968 Commer Camper is one that does that for me. For a short… more»

Barn Stored for 50 Years! 1952 MG TD

This 1952 MGTD may be on a trailer at the moment, but prior to being loaded up, it was hidden in a California barn for 50 years. The seller doesn’t share much information on how it got there or… more»

Massive Triumph Only Liquidation!

At one time, if you needed a Triumph car part or even a whole car, apparently Triumphs Only in Stockton, California had the market cornered. The seller says they were in business for 40 years and the amount of… more»

Cheap Roadster Project: 1968 Sunbeam Alpine

Well here’s an interesting one, though the listing description is a true exercise in minimalism. When first spied, I thought, “Hey, it’s an Agent 86 car” a nod to Maxwell Smart’s ride in the ’60s spoof TV series Get… more»

Huge Stash of British Cars (and Others)

Every now and then you run up on a cache of cars and wonder how they came to be. Such is the case with this gathering of upwards of 50 cars (that I can count) which are largely British… more»

Rare V8-Powered Sports Car: 1987 Marcos Mantula

Here, for your review is a Marcos Mantula. Sounds like a “who” that we’re going to review, more so than a “what” but it is, in fact, a very interesting, notable British sports car. One of only 289 produced… more»

Stunning Topaz: 1975 Triumph TR6

The Triumph TR6 is an often overlooked British sports car. The TR6 is a great option for the buyer that is looking for the classic throaty six-cylinder sound but does not have the budget for a big Healey or… more»

Ultra Rare Sedan: 1957 Bristol 405

The seller of this gorgeous 1957 Bristol 405 is apparently serious when he mentions that the original engine was dumped in Long Island Sound for use as a boat anchor, so there’s the added suspense of a treasure hunt… more»

Restored Barn Find: 1959 MGA Roadster

Until recently, this 1959 MG MGA Roadster had been sitting in this garage. This was a spot that it had occupied since 1985. It has been brought out into the light of day and has undergone a meticulous revival… more»

It’s a Barn Finds British Bike Blowout here this weekend! Well, only two of them were highlighted so that’s not exactly a blowout, but it’s not every day that we see a 1970 Velocette Venom Clubman come up for… more»
