BF Auction: 1959 Daimler SP250

No Reserve: 1972 MG Midget

In the beginning, there was the cheap, cheerful Austin-Healey Bugeye Sprite. This car filled the “simple sports car” niche that Donald Healey felt had been vacated as its own cars grew heavier and gained seats. At first, the Bugeye… more»

No Reserve: 1964 Triumph TR4 Project

A Long Winter’s Project: 1948 Royal Enfield Model J2

Three for One: TVR 280i Projects

BF Auction: 1974 MGB Roadster

Rubber bumper MGBs represent a major bargain in the classic car world. You could swap out the bumpers for chrome ones, but frankly, this is a car that should just be maintained and driven! It’s not a perfect specimen… more»

One-Owner 1965 Sunbeam Tiger

The Sunbeam has a fascinating history as a car, featuring a whole host of famous car guys – Carroll Shelby, Ken Miles and Jack Brabham amongst others. This is why they command such high prices – a simple formula… more»

35k Mile 1996 Jaguar XJS Celebration Edition

Automotive styling is challenging, and many manufacturers have struggled to transform an existing Hardtop or Coupe model into a Convertible. Some cars carry the change well, while the word “ungainly” can be fairly applied to others. This 1996 Jaguar… more»

Owned For 40 Years: 1953 MG TD

Long-term ownership can often determine whether an enthusiast pursues a classic car to park in their garage. This 1953 MG TD ticks that box, with its current owner having been its custodian for over four decades. It has spent… more»

No Reserve Donation: 1992 Range Rover

A few years ago, I was a Range Rover owner for about two months with a long-wheelbase version of the truck shown here. More on that later, but let’s talk about this fine specimen that ended up with my… more»

Alaskan Pair: 1970 and 1973 Jaguar E-Types

The place where a car lives is sometimes as interesting as the car itself. This pair of Jaguar E-Types have apparently been summer-only drives in Alaska for decades, and are both offered up as part of an estate sale…. more»

Pair of Yard Find Triumph TR3As

The TR3A was the unofficial name for an updated version of the successful Triumph TR3, which was in production overall from 1955 to 1962. The cars were never badged with the letter “A” nor were the next updated TR3s… more»

1955 Jaguar XK 140 SE Drophead Coupe

Boldly representing the jungle predator sharing its name, this 1955 Jaguar XK 140 SE looks ready to pounce at any moment. The Saint Simons Island, Georgia classic comes “as is” in presumably non-operational condition at present, however, and needs… more»

38k-Mile Beauty: 1979 Rolls-Royce Corniche

I’ve never had the pleasure of owning a Rolls-Royce vehicle or even riding around in one for that matter, but nonetheless, it’s easy for me to understand their appeal, and this 1979 Corniche coupe here on eBay sure scores… more»
