Stored Since The 1970’s: 1959 Jaguar XK150 Coupe

There’s Only One Problem: 1963 Jaguar Mk. II At No Reserve!

Evocative Custom! 1957 MGA Roadster

Under a lot of body modifications, that is an MGA! It looks like someone may have been enamored with Cobra’s or 50’s Italian sports car shapes. However, unlike many of these modified cars this one’s lines work for me,… more»

Where’s The Rest Of The Story? TR3A Barn Find

What a great “barn find!” I just wish the seller had told us “the rest of the story!” (apologies to Paul Harvey). With character like this, the blue TR3A is just begging to let the world know it’s tale…. more»

1967 Austin-Healey In Mom’s Basement

Little Landie! 1/2 Scale Land Rover Defender

This floating car (there’s actually a wheel under there!) is a 1973 Bond Bug and it’s in lovely Burntwood, United Kingdom, 30 minutes north of Birmingham. This unusual three-wheeler is listed on eBay with a current bid price of ­£5,000… more»

Fastbacked: 1977 Austin Mini

Aerodynamics on the original Mini have been altered and tweaked for many years in the name of speed. This Broadspeed GT replica is cool, as the proportions are slightly different than that of the Broadspeed fastback. This Mini also… more»

Half Price Sale: 1970 MGB

I wrote this MGB up in June when it was listed at $1500. He’s down to $700 now. Why do you think it hasn’t sold? Heck, it has new tires! Perhaps there’s lots of rust. At this price, it would at… more»

Glamour Shots: 1963 Sunbeam Alpine

The Jensen Healey has a 145 horsepower 2 litre Lotus engine, a Sunbeam gearbox, Triumph brakes and rack-and-pinion steering. It was way ahead of other sports cars of the day but it was expensive. This Jensen Healey is listed… more»
