Repowered! 1973 Triumph Stag

Even most Triumph lovers admit that the 3-liter V-8 engine fitted to the 25,939 Triumph Stags produced between 1970 and 1977 wasn’t developed as well as it could have been. Although a properly sorted, original-engined Stag is a wonderful… more»

Will She Start? 1958 Triumph TR3A

Standard-Triumph never delineated between a TR3A and a TR3B – those are designations that enthusiasts have adopted to differentiate which TR3 configuration you’re discussing. The first TR3 followed the demise of the slower TR2 in 1955. It was simply… more»

1 Of 4,356! 1954 Hudson Metropolitan

Did you even know that there was a badge-engineered version of the Nash Metropolitan marketed by Hudson? Not many people do, there were only 4,356 sold from August 1954 through September 1957. This particular Metropolitan is listed for sale… more»

British Project: 1972 Norton Commando 750

Beautiful Survivor: 1967 Austin Healey 3000 Mk. III

This true survivor Austin Healey 3000 Mk. III is one of the most desirable cars to me that I’ve written a post about. Frequently I have come across (and owned) Big Healeys that have been “restored,” but they rarely… more»

Stored Since The 90’s: 1959 Triumph TR3A

It’s getting more and more difficult to find “driver quality” British sports cars. As time goes on, cars are either restored or junked (or left in barns for us to write about 10 years from now, I hope). This… more»

1958 Austin-Healey 100-6 Garage Find

This 1958 Austin-Healey 100-6 looks to be a prime(r) restoration candidate. It’s unusual in that it has disc wheels and no overdrive, although I would be sourcing an overdrive transmission for a swap if I were the buyer. The… more»

Oddballs! Citroens And MGB-GT

When frequent finder Chuck F. sent us a link to this dealership in Fort Mill, South Carolina, I was expecting the unusual; Chuck is like me and is attracted to oddball cars. But I wasn’t expecting an ad for… more»

It’s hard to believe, but less than a week after featuring a 1963 Humber Sceptre 1, we now have found a 1967 Sceptre 2 lock-up find for sale here on eBay. Not surprisingly, both the 1963 and 1967 cars… more»

British Barn Find: 1963 Humber Sceptre

Show of hands if you know what a Humber is. I didn’t but I’m learning that there’s a whole lot of auto stuff that I don’t know about. But I’m certain that our esteemed readership includes a few who… more»

One Of My Dream Cars: Arkley SS Project

Fellow Barn Finders, this is one of those TMI (Too Much Information) posts that we writers get away with every once in a while. You see, coming across one of your dream cars for sale is a hazard of… more»
