1971 Lotus Europa: Worth Saving?
Some cars are worth saving and others, not so much. I will let you be the judge here, but I think this 1971 Lotus Europa at least deserves some consideration. The seller’s vague listing and bad photos make this one a gamble,… more»

Could’ve Had A Turbine: 1970 Rover P6

British Bulldog: 1963 Triumph TR3B
There is something so “honest” about an early Triumph TR. With its wide open grin (despite being painted black on this example) and mostly single-curvature body panels, the TR2 and TR3 series have nothing that wasn’t necessary for cost-effective,… more»

Grace, Space, and Pace: 1964 Jaguar S-Type
Jaguar’s famous slogan certainly applies to the S-Type! I have a soft spot for these big cats; one was our family car while I was growing up in England. I remember being upset when, in the middle of the… more»

1962 Triumph Herald: Hark, the Herald Axles Swing!
Yes, Triumph Heralds have swing axle rear suspension, although this one certainly has a much lower stance than it left the factory with. My wife happens to own and cherish a 1963 Herald 1200 Convertible (whose name is Robbie),… 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

Triple Intercept: Three Jensen Interceptors!

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»
