The One To Buy! 1961 Austin-Healey Sprite Survivor
Who doesn’t love the cheeky little Austin-Healey Bugeye Sprite? The problem now is finding a good one. Bugeyes were so inexpensive, even when new, that most have been used up, scrapped, modified beyond belief, or restored to the point… more»

19K Original Miles! 1960 Ford Anglia Estate

Rust-Free Project: 1969 Jaguar E-Type 2+2

Driveway Find? 1986 Lotus Esprit Turbo
This 1986 Lotus Esprit Turbo looks conspicuously like a Copart lot find, as this picture goes to show us. The dirt lot, the sticker in the windshield, the yellow marker scribbles – this is surely a Copart car, right?… more»

46K Mile 1976 Mercury Capri II

Rare Range Topper: 1965 Jaguar Mark 10

Container Find: 1953 Singer 4AD
Right off the bat, the listing for this Singer is a bit confusing. It is listed as a 1943 Model C but the VIN states it as a model AD which was produced between 1951 and 1955. That being… more»

15 Years in the Barn: 1987 Jaguar XJS Convertible

Low-Mileage Wedge: 1985 TVR 280i
This 1985 TVR 280i is a surprisingly nice driver-grade example of a model that typically appears as a total trainwreck of a project. Yes, there are exceptions, but as someone who has wanted to own one of these for… more»
