Pow, Right To The Moon! Moke Mooncraft Racer

As the owner of an Austin Marina race car, I feel fairly competent when it comes to the area of turning unlikely British Austins into racing machines. There’s even a “standard” Mini Moke that races in the same series I… more»

Whats It Worth? 1967 Austin-Healey 3000 Mk. III

Having owned two “Big Healeys” and driven one as a daily driver for more than a year, I can tell you they are an acquired taste. There’s not many sports cars that are better looking out there, but the… more»

Maxi Mini: 1981 Austin Morris Maxi 2 HL

Ok, I know that this isn’t a “Mini”, I just used a little poetic license there. But, what a gorgeous car! Some of you may not care for the profile of this car, or care for some other aspect of this… more»

No Flux Capacitor! 3,221 Mile DeLorean

This is a really nice low-mileage DeLorean, but unusually, it’s in the UK! The car has been listed with numerous pictures, even including the underside, and is still on it’s original tires. There are a few cosmetic flaws, but… more»

All Wound Up! 1961 Sunbeam Alpine

This 1961 Sunbeam Alpine looks remarkably straight, and being a California car for a while is pretty solid as well. There will need to be some minor dent repair, but I don’t see anything beyond the scope of the… more»

Auction Finds: California Jaguar XK120 & 1931 Chevy

Reader Jim B. writes: Hey Jesse, Josh and everyone – I have a client here in Southern California that occasionally runs into cars as part of their estate clearing/auction business. Look at what they found, and what is going to come… more»

XL Barn Find: 1976 Ford Cortina 1600

For many of us XL means one thing, extra large, but in the case of this Ford Cortina it stands for Xtra Luxury. I’d say that is a good thing, but considering this car was fitted with a 1600 cc instead… more»

How are you with wet-sanding? Needle and thread? Good, then this car is for you! This solid-looking 1963 Bentley S3 is listed here on craigslist in London by the Charing Cross station. The seller is asking £8,900 for this British… more»

Some Assembly Required: 1969 Lotus Europa S2

We’ve had some tired-looking Lotus Europas on Barn Finds lately; this time there’s the chance to finish a project the way you want to finish it. Frequent finder Jim S. uncovered this car, which is up for sale here… more»

Hemi And Fiberglass: 1962 Daimler SP250

It’s been awhile since we’ve featured one of these fiberglass bodied oddities. This Dart needs a full restoration, but does appear to be a good starting point for an ambitious Daimler fan. Jaguar actually owned the company by the… more»

Frown Upside Down: 1961 Austin-Healy Sprite

Say what you will about it, this car still wears its factory-installed smile which age, green paint or even fire damage has not diminished. It’s located in St. Louis, Missouri, and appears here on craigslist. The asking price is… more»

Grand Grantura: 1963 TVR Grantura Series III

This isn’t the Barn Finds TVR, this one is a couple of decades older; but it’s cool, none the less. The 1963 TVR Grantura Series III shown here is on eBay in Connecticut. The bids around $7,000 as I write… more»

But It IS An E-Type!

Admit it–you’ve secretly coveted an E-Type for a long time, haven’t you. But they’ve quickly moved out of reach price wise. You’re pretty handy, in fact you’re willing to take on huge mechanical challenges to get what you want–that’s… more»

Not For Hobbits: 1971 Lotus Europa For $3k
