I love to learn about new cars I’ve never seen before! Today I learned about a very special wagon that I had never heard or seen of. If you haven’t ever heard of Gilbern Sports Cars, it’s alright because… more»

Big Block Brit: 1973 Jensen Interceptor
We’ve featured quite a few Jensen Interceptors recently. I’m not sure if there are simply more coming to market or if we have all just been on a Jensen kick lately, but seeing yet another Interceptor is really giving… more»

Wagon with a Stiff Upper Lip: 1969 Ford Cortina
When I first saw the pictures of this Cortina Estate, the nose-in-the air attitude caused by a lack of drivetrain had me thinking of my very British father’s suggestion of “keeping a stiff upper lip” when faced with crisis…. more»

$400 for a TD?! Oh, wait…
Since test driving an MG TD a years back, I have considered picking up a T-series project to restore on multiple occasions. They aren’t very fast, but with a slick gearbox and agile handling, they present an affordable opportunity to experience what… more»

Some Assembly Required: 1967 Jaguar E-Type
Disassembly is easy to do but it can also be the undoing of an ongoing restoration. That’s been a clear lesson in project car ownership for yours truly: finish what you start. When life gets in the way, days… more»

Triple Intercept: Three Jensen Interceptors!
Being an oddball British car lover, it shouldn’t surprise you that a Jensen Interceptor has long been on my most wanted list. I’ve almost bought one twice, but been scared off both times by rust issues. The big Jensen… more»

Rare Cat: Mk 1 Sunbeam Tiger Project Car
Today’s cars are expected to be good right out of the box, with looks, performance, and reliability, all at a reasonable price. Years ago it wasn’t easy to get that combination, especially with sports cars. I don’t know about… more»

Orange Gold: 1978 Mini Midas
When I was little, my father used to bring me back 1/43 scale die-cast cars from his business travels. My favorite was a metallic burgundy Mini Marcos. What’s a Mini Marcos, you ask? First sold in 1965, the Mini… more»

Yes, You Could Have a V8: 1980 Triumph TR8
Ok, I admit it, as a past owner of a TR8 (and hopefully someday a future owner as well), I’m partial to the last Triumph TR. The Harris Mann-penned design has worn well through the years, and this convertible… more»

Canadian Cat: 1992 Jaguar XJS Coupe
I’ve taken an affinity towards these modern-day Jaguar coupes in recent months. This has little to do with any sort of allegiance to the brand; rather, I’ve come across a few in local salvage yards that have yielded some… more»

Update 11/28/14 – Looks like someone scooped this one up cheap and is attempting to flip it here on eBay for $8,500 obo. Wow! From 9/2/14 – When most of us hear “Jensen Interceptor” we probably think of the… more»

A-peeling Coupe: 1969 Triumph GT6+
When the Triumph Spitfire debuted in 1962, the fact that it had the small 1147cc Herald-based engine didn’t matter to a market hungry for an Italian-styled pretty little sports car. Unlike its main competitors (the Austin-Healey Sprite/MG Midget tandem)… more»

Cobra Competitor: 1971 Marcos GT
We have featured only a small handful of Marcos GTs over the years. They are rare cars and I feel that every single one of them deserves to be saved so when Barn Finds reader Graham L. sent in… more»

Period Nasty Boy: 1956 Austin-Healey 100
Of all the Big Healeys produced, the ones built between 1953-1956 will always be my favorites. Sure, the later cars benefited from many improvements, but the purity of the early cars just can’t be beat! The triangular grill was… more»

Instant Wedding Car Business: 2 Austin Limos
I’ll admit it. I have thought about starting a wedding car business on occasion. I like cake as much as the next guy, but I can’t really say that I enjoy weddings all that much. The prospect of owning a… more»

British Fun in America: 1969 Ford Cortina
Looking at this old Ford, it is hard to see much potential. It is a terribly drab color and its styling is rather plan, but don’t let the looks fool you. This Ford has the potential to be a… more»
