British Classic Cars

Marriage Killing Project: 1973 Triumph GT6

I normally leave the British finds to Jamie, as he is our in-house expert and knows more about these makes and models in his pinky finger than I do in my whole body. However, this 1973 Triump GT6 here… more»

Cheshire Cat: 1964 Jaguar E-Type

Looking at this little old barn, you wouldn’t imagine there’d be much hiding inside. Maybe a Mini or a Sprite, but nothing as grand and impressive as a Jaguar. Yet that’s exactly what was found inside! It must have been… more»

$2,800 Fastback: 1969 Sunbeam Alpine GT

Here’s another 1969 British GT car, and I’m positive that this engine photo is the right one for this car! I’m in St. Louis, Missouri for the night and ran across this 1969 Sunbeam Alpine GT in Jefferson City,… more»

Sad Cat: 1949 Jaguar Mark V

At first glance, this Jag listed on craigslist looks really nice, or at least hopeful. The $8,000 asking price certainly gets your attention. It runs and drives but things go downhill from there. It’s right hand drive, but that’s… more»

$1,500 Barn Find Ford: 1969 Ford Cortina GT MK II

I’m in Huntsville, Alabama right now and I jumped onto Craigslist hoping to find a cool vehicle or two. I ran across this 1969 Ford Cortina MK II that’s down in Cullman, Alabama, halfway between Huntsville and Birmingham. It’s… more»

Rather Rare: 1954 Healey Tickford

When you think of “Healey” automobiles, Austin-Healey and perhaps Nash-Healey probably come to mind, but there are other cars. Healey Motorcars was founded in 1945 and built a line of high performance, low volume cars using the four-cylinder Riley twincam engine. Healey… more»

1962 MGA 1600 For $3,000!

This MGA might be a big project, but it’s a good place to start. It’s a 1600 so it has a little more power than the 1500 and also benefits from front disc brakes. Looks like this one even came with wire… more»

Rare British Project: 1969 TVR Vixen

After reviving our TVR, I’ve had plenty of dreams about finding another one of these awesome Brits. Sadly, they just aren’t all that common. Our Tasmin was powered by a wonderful Ford V6, but every time I drove it,… more»

What A Mess! Daimler SP250

I’m afraid that this eBay listing is even worse than most craigslist ones for photos, but I’m still glad Peter R. sent it in to us. The SP250 is an odd duck at best, with looks that, well, are… more»

The Whole Truth: 1970 Triumph Spitfire

This nose is unique to the MK III Triumph Spitfire. The bumper is raised for new crash regulations and yet retains the chrome strips covering the weld lines along the tops of the fenders, something later cars lack. This Spitfire is listed on eBay has… more»

5.3 Liters Of Fun: 1972 Jaguar E-Type

I’m not sure if it’s an optical illusion, some type of distortion in the photo or if the front end of the Jaguar E-type is just that long, but that nose looks incredibly long being pulled free from this… more»

BF Exclusive: 1972 Triumph TR6

From Tim M – The restoration of this car was started some years ago, but it was stored before being finished. It has an excellent repainted and solid frame. The body was repainted Dark British Racing Green and will… more»

Clean And Red: 1964 MGB

This MGB is listed on craigslist here in Sacramento, California with very few details or pictures and an asking price of $3,500. It’s a California car so it might be rust free. Other than tail lights and an emblem it… more»

Only $700! 1966 MGB Barn Find

  Wearing a patchwork coating of red over its original blue, this 1966 MGB has obviously been in the barn for a while (that front plate dates from 1995!) That being said, it looks relatively solid and complete. It’s… more»

Barn Finds Race Team Report: We Won!

photos by Huneycutt Photography We came, we got a huge hurdle thrown in front of us, and we cleared it! 20 penalty laps when each lap takes around 2-1/2 minutes is a long, long way to come back from…. more»

Reserve Free 1959 Austin-Healey 100-6

Big Healeys are in high demand these days, even rust buckets go for big money! This 100-6 is definitely one of those rusty examples, but the seller is offering it without a reserve. It might actually go for a realistic… more»
