Picture of 1976 TRIUMPH TOLEDO - RARE. SUPERB IN HONEYSUCKLE, 33K MILES - SOLD

WHAT a really pretty and genuine 1970s this is. Rarely seen now is the Triumph Toledo, the predecessor to the Dolomite range. Here is a truly delightful little Toledo 1300 in one of BL's better colours of the era, Honeysuckle. And it doesn't half suit this little gem.

She looks so straight and fresh and has covered just 33, 000 miles from new. There is a personal letter with ...

Picture of 1958 FORD SQUIRE - MEGA RARE ESTATE, JUST DELIGHTFUL! - SOLD

WOW, how rare is this? I first became a car-mad kid back in the 1950s but, even then, the Ford Squire and its sister estate car the Escort were pretty rare. I couldn't tell you how many years it is since I have even seen one!

The Escort and the Squire were launched on the same day as estate car versions of the Ford 100E. The Escort was the basic with painted grille, very little chrome ...

Picture of 1960 FORD PREFECT 107E - RARE OHV MODEL, VERY ATTRACTIVE! - SOLD

This is my 1960 Ford Prefect 107E. Most of you reading this will probably know exactly what she is. However, I shall offer you a brief explanation all the same. This model ran between 1959 and 1961 and was the last of the "100E." shape Fords. However, due to the ever changing face of British motoring, Ford decided that it was well beyond time to ditch their faithful old side valve engines and thus ...

Picture of 1967 RILEY ELF MARK III - CUMBERLAND GREEN, VERY PRETTY! - SOLD

HERE'S a very pretty little Riley Elf in one of the ever popular model's favourite colour schemes of Cumberland Green with a cream roof.

She is such a bonny thing with green leather interior and an excellent wooden dash. Extremely perky on the road, she is a delight to drive and offers economical motoring with so many smiles to the gallon. Some minor imperfections here and there ...

Picture of 1976 VAUXHALL VIVA 1300L ESTATE - SO PRETTY, 25 YRS STORED! - SOLD

A prettier Vauxhall Viva HC estate, you would be hard pushed to find. Still in its original livery of light yellow, it is a 1976 1300L with the later style dashboard, reclining seats etc. In a nutshell, this delightful old girl is now living with me in North Yorkshire and this is the first time she has resided outside her home town (city) of Sunderland since leaving the dealership at new. Until three ...

Picture of 1967 HILLMAN MINX VI 1725cc - 38K, KNOWN HISTORY, SUPERB! - SOLD

HERE is a simply delightful Hillman Minx deluxe Series VI. The Series VI was the last in the line of Minxes and also the only model to sport the Rootes Group tried and tested 1725cc engine.

Picture of 1958 FORD CONSUL HIGHLINE - EARLY MODEL, LOVELY ALL ROUND! - SOLD

HERE is a delightful Mark 2 Ford Consul Highline in pale green with a great body, lovely paint and a super interior. Even the outstanding engine bay is on a par with the rest of this superb 1950s classic.

Note the early style Consul - before the later "lowline" Consul 375. Smaller and less imposing rear light clusters and a totally different dashboard featuring the curved instrumentation ...

Picture of 1955 WOLSELEY 4/44 - SO SOUND, GREAT ENGINE & DRIVER! - SOLD

Ah, the Wolseley 4/ 44. My first ever classic car a good few decades ago around the time that we slowly learning to change from "old bangers" to classics. I have always loved the shape and style from childhood and, to this day, I still believe that it stands up as something of an iconic design from the pen of the world renowned Gerald Palmer. Dating back to the days of grace and luxury, the 4/ 44 ...

Picture of 1955 MORRIS OXFORD SERIES II - DELIGHTFULLY ORIGINAL & SOLID - SOLD

HERE we have a delightfully original 1955 Morris Oxford Series II 1500cc in the then BMC colour of Sandy Beige. I very much doubt that this totally honest and rock solid old girl has ever been re-painted during the course of her 64-year-old life. Touched up here and there yes. Sandy Beige has a kind of pinkish tinge to it and, I believe, was later used on Riley 1. 5s.

The story is (and ...

Picture of 1968 ROVER P5B - VERY EARLY EXAMPLE, TOTALLY SOLID! - SOLD

THIS 1968 Rover P5B 3. 5 auto was built in April, 1968 and despatched to a Rover dealership in Ireland later the same month. There is a British Motor Heritage Certificate on record, stating that it was the first ever P5B to be exported to Ireland and also just the fourth RHD export model to come off the production line.

Picture of 1962 SUNBEAM RAPIER 111A - STUNNING, LOW MILES, FULL MOT! - SOLD

THE Sunbeam Rapier IIIA is a pretty rare beast and was the first model within the Rapier range to be given a 1600cc engine with twin Zenith carbs. This resulted in an output of 80bhp, no mean feat for a British sports saloon in the early sixties!

This totally delightful example, registered in June 1962, still wears her original livery of Dawn Mist of Midnight Blue. She has covered a mere ...

Picture of 1965 HILLMAN SUPER IMP - FULLY RESTORED AFTER BARN FIND! - SOLD

What a stunning looking 1965 Hillman Super Imp in Aquarius Metallic Blue, a correct Imp colour. The story as best I have been able to piece together is that she was dry stored around the mid to late-seventies and did not appear from hibernation until around 40 years later in 2017 when the previous owner discovered her. She was a two-owner car before being stored. There is an old style MoT certificate ...
