Better Hurry: 1966 Jaguar S-Type

Yet another flipper that can’t be bothered to take the car off the trailer before picturing it, a pet peeve of mine. Nevertheless, it is my favorite Jaguar sedan, the S-Type, and fellow Barn Finds writer Jeff L knew… more»

1985 TVR 280i Tasmin: Cheap Speed

Small-Mouth: 1957 Triumph TR3

Motoring Monday: 1951 MGTD

This 1951 MGTD is a prototypical barnfind – ok, garage find! After covering 126,000 miles (kudos to the seller for not trying to pass it off as 26,000), the car was put away for years in a garage. Thankfully,… more»

Alpine Day On eBay: ’63 and ’66 Sunbeams

When I saw the picture of this sad Alpine, I imagined it “shushing” me with the jack handle over it’s mouth. And then saying to me, “let me die here in peace”. I hope that doesn’t happen, as it’s for… more»

35 Years In The Family: 1967 Triumph TR4A
