Picture of 1966 HUMBER SUPER SNIPE - 3 OWNERS, SUPERB TOP LUXURY! - SOLD

HERE is my delightfully luxurious Humber Super Snipe - a 1966 model and a real throwback to the days of opulent motoring at its best. The Rootes Group always knew how to create luxury on wheels and very few makes and models could compete with the Super Snipe back in the mid-sixties!

This super, sleek and sliver Snipe has covered just 75, 000 miles and came to me from her third owner. ...

Picture of 1969 VAUXHALL VIVA HB - RARE 4-DOOR, STUNNING, 38K MILES! - SOLD

HERE is a simply stunning Viva HB 4-door with just 38k miles on the clock! She is an ultra-rare 4-door as the bulk of HBs came off the production line as 2-doors. Vauxhall decided to add a further two doors quite late on. This is a truly magnificent example of the much sought after - as well as exceedingly rare - "coke bottle" shaped Viva and you would be hard pushed to find one any prettier than ...

Picture of 1981 VAUXHALL ASTRA 1300S GL - RARE MARK 1, SUPERB! - SOLD

HERE is a truly amazing Vauxhall Astra Mark 1 1300s GL 5-door in what I seem to recall was called Henna Red with orange velour upholstery. How pure early 80s!

In actual fact, these very early Astras were Opel Kadetts with Vauxhall badges. They were built in West Germany with the manufacturer's name on the Vin plate stated as Adam Opel. That is the case with this total gem.

She ...

Picture of 1963 VAUXHALL CRESTA FB 2.6 - DELIGHTFUL. SUPER DRIVER! - SOLD

All my classic cars are treated as the equivalent of motoring antiques. This one, for example, is 59-years-old this month! They cannot be compared to the wife's six-month-old Chelsea tractor and they are bound to come with imperfections, quirks and bits and pieces that will need attention even if it is some time in the future. They do however come with oodles of charm, appeal and are there to ...

Picture of 1967 TRIUMPH VITESSE 2 LITRE - SUPER DRIVING SPORTS SALOON - SOLD

Here's my 1967 Triumph Vitesse 2 litre Mark 1 in Valencia Blue. Overall, a presentable 60s sports saloon which drives superbly. I can vouch for that. I have just done 30 miles in her this morning and she certainly loves being put through her paces. At 70pmh-plus (beware of Police, even in a classic!) she is totally comfortable. She has the look of a car that has been restored and then not done ...

Picture of 1964 MORRIS MINOR TRAVELLER - SUPER EXAMPLE,  GREAT DRIVER - SOLD

HERE'S my lovely 1964 Morris Minor Traveller in Almond Green. Being an earlier model, it comes with the superb duo-tone interior and light coloured speedo - features I always liked on these cars. She is in great nick paint and body-wise and much the same can be said of her underneath and her timber work.

She has a current MoT - with no advisories - until January 2019 and she drives ...

Picture of 1964 MORRIS OXFORD - SUPERB ALL ROUND, LOW MILES, MOT. - SOLD

This is my 1964 Morris Oxford. She is in outstanding condition and incredibly straight and rot-free for one of these big Farinas!

Finding top class examples of Oxfords, Cambridges and their other derivatives has become mega difficult during these past few years. Once such a common site, not just on the roads but amongst the classic car marketplace, you will find that it is now quite the ...

Picture of 1969 RILEY 1300 (KESTREL) - MEGA RARE, COOPER ENGINE, LOVELY - SOLD

Welcome to the description of my Riley 1300, a car you would look at and doubtless say: "Ah, there's a really nice Riley Kestrel!" Well, no it's not. I mean, yes, it's really nice. In fact it's more than really nice. I think it's totally beautiful. A delightful, rare survivor. But, you see, it's not a Kestrel!

I'll try and do this bit as briefly as I ...

Picture of 1956 WOLSELEY 15/50 - RARE, LOVELY EXAMPLE, GREAT DRIVER! - SOLD

Here we have a truly delightful Wolseley 15/ 50, the model which replaced the ageing 4/ 44 in 1956. This is an early example being a 1956 itself, and she is in super order.

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 ...

Picture of 1968 MG MIDGET - FULLY RESTORED, RARE COLOUR, FABULOUS! - SOLD

Here is my truly stunning 1968 MG Midget in the rare, but correct Midget colour of Basilica Blue. This outstanding example was totally restored around 20 years ago by a motor engineer whose own garage was MGOC recommended. He went through the car from top to bottom as he was doing it for his wife and himself. It had been with the same lady owner from 1969 until be bought it in 1996 and it remained ...

Picture of 1967 MG MIDGET 1275 - FULLY RESTORED, JUST DELIGHTFUL! - SOLD

Here is my 1967 MG Midget with a 1275cc engine, engineered to Mini Cooper spec. More of the details later.

She is in stunning condition and before we go any further, let me say she is red. Yes red. Red as red. Not the dullish shade she looks in my photos taken today. She stayed with her original owner until just nine years ago when she was purchased by an engineer who fully restored her ...

Picture of 1947 WOLSELEY 8 - MEGA RARE, ROCK SOLID, UN-RESTORED! - SOLD

This is my 1947 Wolseley 8, a mega-rare example of immediate post-war vehicle manufacture as little more than 5, 000 were built between 1946 and 1948.

It was Wolseley's first venture into small family cars following the war and was the only model in its class - that being eight horse power - to have an overhead valve engine. Competitors were still running side-valves at this stage. ...

Picture of 1967 MG MIDGET MARK III - STUNNING EXAMPLE, MUCH LOVED! - SOLD

Here is my 1967 MG Midget, an early Mark III and therefore with the 1275cc engine. Make no mistake, she is in outstanding condition and was formerly the pride and joy of an elderly owner who was clearly fastidious in his care of this little gem.

During the past ten years, she has covered less than 200 miles spending practically all her time under wraps in a dry garage. She has a new ...

Picture of 1979 FORD CAPRI MARK III 2.0GL - 1st OWNER 32 YEARS, LOVELY! - SOLD

HERE is my delightful 1979 Ford Capri Mark III 2. 0GL. She is an early Mark III on a V plate and looks lovely in her original livery of Sirius Red Metallic with chocolate velour upholstery. Yes, I know. How 70s!

The classic car loving chap from whom I bought this 2. 0GL was just the third owner of this Capri. The original owner kept her for 32 years. Hard to believe wouldn't you ...

Picture of 1958 AUSTIN A55 CAMBRIDGE - RARE MODEL, 2 OWNERS IN 60 YEARS - SOLD

HERE is my 1958 Austin A55 Cambridge in absolutely outstanding condition throughout! In many ways, this particular BMC offering became the 1950s "lost model". Launched in early 1957, it had been discontinued by December 1958 thanks to the company's burning desire to get an early handle on sixties-style motoring. Hence the arrival at the time of the Farina model. That was launched as the Austin ...
