Picture of 1989 MINI CIY E - 1275 COOPER ENGINE, WIDE WHEELS, LOVELY! - SOLD

THIS is my 1989 Austin Mini City E which has been fitted with a 1275 Cooper engine and looks really superb with wide wheels (new tyres) and a contrasting black roof. She has an MoT until March 2021 (no advisories). I am told by the previous owner that recently she has been treated to new sills, rear subframe, rear valance, brake pipes, head re-done and new valves. She drives superbly and is a really ...

Picture of 1963 MGB ROADSTER - EARLY MODEL, VERY PRETTY, BARGAIN PRICE! - SOLD

HERE is my 1963 (March) MGB Roadster Mark 1. Really pretty and solid and regularly MoT'd. The current test expires next month (November), (no advisories). I will tell you what I know. In 1981 she was acquired by a chap in Whitby. At the time, it had just 3 previous owners. He kept it until last year when he passed away and ownership was switched to his wife. It was then sold to a new owner in ...

Picture of 1965 VOLVO AMAZON - 2-LITRE TWIN CARBS, RALLY-STYLE LOOKS! - SOLD

MY PHOTOGRAPHY AGAIN! THIS AMAZON IS BRIGHT RED. RED AS A TOMATO, AND NOT ORANGE AS IT LOOKS HERE. THANKS.

THIS is my 1965 Volvo Amazon. I can't tell you very much about it because I don't know an awful lot. It began life as a 121 but now has the Amazon two-litre (1986cc), twin carb unit fitted. As you can, she is dressed to look like a rally car and also has rally-style front ...

Picture of 1960 SUNBEAM RAPIER III - ATTRACTIVE LOOKING SPORTS SALOON! - SOLD

HERE is my 1960 Sunbeam Rapier series III. The correct spec 1500cc twin carb model with alloy head. Looks to be freshly painted, again in correct Rapier livery. Not sure if the brown is known as Mocha? Anyway, it's a proper Rapier two-tone combination. Probably needs some little bits of fettling here and there. A carpet set would help for starters as obviously removed for re-paint and probably ...

Picture of 1969 FORD CORTINA 1600E - VERY ORIGINAL,  SOME PAINT NEEDED - SOLD

HERE is my 1969 Ford Cortina 1600E, the Holy Grail of Mark 2 Cortinas and rarely seen offered for sale now as I think those who are fortunate enough to own one are not to keen on parting with them.

A straight and strong example with only 3 former keepers stated on the V5 and so she has not been around the houses owner-wise which is always a bonus,. Good panels, not to be confused with ...

Picture of 1965 HUMBER SCEPTRE MARK 1 - SUPER PANELS, GREAT DRIVER! - SOLD

HERE is one of my favourite sports saloons from the 1960s. The Humber Sceptre Mark 1. With its super sleek styling, fantastic 6-dial sports dash and an aluminium head knocking out 80 bhp, this was a top of the tree Rootes Group model. Throw in the manual gearbox with overdrive on 3rd and 4th and what a car you had!

This old girl has panel work which is in excellent condition everywhere. ...

Picture of 1963 SINGER GAZELLE V - LOW MILES, ENGINE REBUILD, SO PRETTY - SOLD

HERE is my 1963 Singer Gazelle Series V 1600cc which is oh so pretty and has a full MoT until October 2021.

Secondly, her speedo reads 27, 000 miles which could very well be correct as she appears to have been dry stored for some time prior to 2003 when the engine was removed and totally rebuilt. Also, which quite probably backs this up, when the previous owner purchased her two years ...

Picture of 1972 HUMBER SCEPTRE - M/OD, 1 OWNER 47 YEARS, JUST LOVELY! - SOLD

HERE is a truly delightful 1972 Humber Sceptre, a manual/ overdrive model in Spice with Vellum coloured upholstery. Remarkably, her first owner bought her in April 1972 for £1380 and kept her until less than a year ago. He lavished love and care on this Humber and that is the reason that it remains in such outstanding condition today. There are added bonuses such as a hand written note book detailing ...

Picture of 1967 MG MIDGET - LENHAM LE MANS FRONT END. A POCKET ROCKET! - SOLD

BONNY little pocket rocket on offer here which is a 1967 MG Midget with a Lenham Le Mans coupe front end. There is an enormous file detailing the car's history and all the work done which was around 20 years ago. She was dry stored for quite a while afterwards before being purchased by the chap from whom I acquired her. He bought it almost four years ago and has used it sparingly at weekends ...

Picture of 1967 FORD CORTINA MARK 2 1300 - JUST STUNNING CONDITION! - SOLD

HERE is my 1967 Ford Cortina Mark 2 1300 which is in all round delightful condition.

Just delightful in Ford Lagoon Blue, she has covered a genuine 71, 000 miles from new (63 years ago) and has an enormous pile of MoT certificates sating back to the very first one in 1970 so that you can trace the mileage all the way through her lifetime.

Basically, an unrestored example, ...

Picture of 1957 WOLSELEY 15/50 - RARE & HONEST, BENEFIT FROM TLC! - SOLD

Here we have a Wolseley 15/ 50, the model which replaced the ageing 4/ 44 in 1956. This is a 1957 example.

The 15/ 50 was everything Wolseley was about. Refined, sleek, great looks, luxury fittings and so on. But this time around, stepping in as a replacement for the 4/ 44 with its 1250cc engine and column change, came a car with a 1500cc unit and a floor change. So, despite the fact ...

Picture of 1947 P2 ROVER 12 - LOVELY EXAMPLE OF RARE 40s LUXURY CLASSIC - SOLD

HERE is a delightful 1947 P2 Rover 12 and as such has the 1500cc ohv engine. She is a truly lovely looking old girl in burgundy and has just recently emerged from something like a six-year hibernation. Her body and paint work for a 73-year-old car are very good indeed with just a few imperfections here and there, comparable to what you would have found on most cars of that era by the time they had ...

Picture of 1975 MGB GT V8 - FACTORY BUILT V8 WITH ALL THE WOW FACTOR! - SOLD

HERE we have a genuine factory-built MGB GT V8 (VIN number GD2D1-2350G) which is one hell of an eye-catching piece of kit with Sebring styling. Originally a rubber bumper V8, there were just 742 of those models built. She underwent massive work in the late 1990s and has done something like 30, 000 miles since which is just a pleasant amount over that period of time. It also proves that she is a car ...

Picture of 1955 WOLSELEY 6/90 - OLDEST KNOWN SURVIVOR - DELIGHTFUL! - SOLD

ONE look and I was transported straight back to the days of 1950s black and white "Thrillers" where the Police inspector is always to be found sitting in the back of a Wolseley 6/ 90 while his trusty driver sweeps and swirls around the streets of London in search of copious amounts of villains. Jack Hawkins, Nigel Patrick and of course good old Raymond Francis as Chief Inspector Lockhart in TV's ...

Picture of 1946 P2 ROVER 16 - ULTRA ORIGINAL, LOVELY WITH STRAIGHT-6! - SOLD

WHAT a 1940s delight we have here. A 1946 Rover P2, but the best of the range being the 16 with straight-6 2147cc engine. This old girl requires one label only, and that has to be originality. Her deep lustre black coachwork may have some chips, blemishes, marks etc but it will out live all of us and will not give you any problems with the likes of rust or rot. In my view, she is superb the way she ...
