Champagne Trays in the Back: 1961 Jaguar Mark IX Saloon

Diesel 5-Speed: 1990 Land Rover Discovery 200TDi

Pre-Production Model: 1983 Lotus Esprit Turbo

These days, automobile manufacturers don’t seem particularly nostalgic. We see quite often how cars kept for decades in a factory museum are inevitably sold off, oftentimes to raise money or otherwise just get some assets off the books that… more»

WANTED: Looking For A Big Healey!

I’ve been hunting for a Big Healey for a while now but have yet to find the perfect one for me. Ideally, I’d like something complete with original paint and zero rust. A real 100M would be a dream… more»

No Reserve: 1969 Jaguar E-Type 2+2

Some cars evolve from one form to another during their production life, and it is fair to say that was the case with Jaguar’s legendary E-Type. Upon its release, it was undoubtedly a genuine sports car, but this 1969… more»

Have It Your Way: 1973 Lotus Europa

Horse Stall Find: 1969 Jaguar Mark X

Among the legions of classic Jaguars that enthusiasts have access to on any given classifieds site, the Mark X or 420 series sedan is one of the more obscure options. This is the Jaguar that time forgot, as it… more»

Distress Sale: 1959 MGA 1500 Roadster

Simply Stunning: 1952 Jaguar XK120 Roadster

Eclectic Coos Bay Collection Seeks New Owners

1952 MG TD Could Be A Rolling Restoration

Up for sale with no reserve on eBay in Lutz, Florida is a non-running 1952 MG TD project in arrest-me red. It looks pretty good from a distance, but then the flaws show up.

Shed Find: 1965 Sunbeam Alpine Project

The Rootes Group was not your typical car maker. It wasn’t founded to make bicycles or motorcycles – it was a distributor, like a large dealership. And its first brush with manufacturing was making and repairing aircraft engines. Rootes… more»

Beautiful But Needy: 1960 Triumph TR3

One of the more iconic British sports cars is the Triumph TR3.  Remembered for its cut-down doors and jaunty good looks, the TR3 has but one enemy: rust.  If you are looking for a handsome, easy-to-work-on British sports car,… more»
