Picture of 1955 WOLSELEY 4/44 - DELIGHTFUL WITH EXCEPTIONAL HISTORY! - SOLD

TODAY at Martin Howey Classics (Est. 26 years), we are proud to offer for sale a 1955 Wolseley 4/ 44. The 4/ 44 is an iconic 1950s saloon and much sought after today. But let me tell you something of its history. A lady bought it new in January 1955 and kept it until until January 1987. She covered 64, 000 during those 32 years and EVERY SINGLE journey the Wolseley ever made with her at the helm is ...

Picture of 1949 STANDARD VANGUARD PHASE 1 - MEGA RARE MODEL. LOVELY! - SOLD

THE Standard Vanguard, launched in 1947, was indeed an extremely interesting if not quirky British car.
The first new model to be introduced by the Standard Motor Company after the war, it was aimed at the export market with such ferocity that any UK buyers who happened to have any post-war cash available, would have to wait at least two years to be able to own one!

It is believed ...

The owner informs us that the mileage is totally correct and that it has spent its entire life in his personal car collection. Recently re-commissioned after lengthy hibernation, I have put a few miles on the old girl this morning and what an absolute ...

Picture of 1959 WOLSELEY 15/50 - RARE NOW, LOVELY, SO MUCH DONE! - SOLD

Here we have a truly delightful Wolseley 15/ 50, the model which replaced the ageing 4/ 44 in 1956. This is a late example being a January 1959 model.

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 ...

Picture of 1970 TRIUMPH HERALD CONVERTIBLE - FACTORY ORIGINAL, PRETTY! - SOLD

EMERGING today from the Tardis-like shed that is Martin Howey Classics (Est. 25 years) is a 1970 Triumph Herald 13/ 60 convertible which is a factory original. Finished in Triumph Valencia Blue, it has very little use for the past year or so. Nonetheless it managed a ten-mile drive out this morning and would probably benefit from a basic service and check over. A pretty enough thing with just minor ...

This time it is a 1974 Toyota Carina 1600 Deluxe which next year will be 50-years-old. How long do we reckon they were expected to survive in the UK back then. Five years. Seven maybe? Well this old girl has survived incredibly well and is so original ...

Picture of 1952 STANDARD VANGUARD PHASE 1A BEETLE BACK - LOVELY & RARE! - SOLD

JUST look at this! A Phase 1A Vanguard "Beetle back" in a delightful shade of jet black. She is 71-years-old and still proudly outdoing thousands of cars still in their infancy. The Vanguard must have been pure jet age stuff when it was launched amidst the post-war austerity of 1948. Car manufacturers were still re-hashing their pre-war designs at this stage, but Standard really pushed the boat out ...

Picture of 1972 TOYOTA CROWN CUSTOM 7-SEATER. SO RARE & JUST WOW! - SOLD

SOMETHING a touch more off-beat and rare today from Martin Howey Classics (Est. 25 years).

Here is my 1972 Toyota Crown Custom (or station wagon) 7-seater and what a super old girl this is. A one owner car from new, this Japanese gem has clearly led a sheltered life. I can remember them from first time around and they must have been rare enough back then. But to find one of these 2. 6cc ...

OFFERED today by Martin Howey Classics (Est. 25 years) is a delightfully presented 1970 Daimler XJ6 (Sovereign to give it the correct model name) and although Series 1 XJ6s are highly sought after, this gem comes with the added bonus of being an early example and thus comes with the chrome rimmed dials which were very soon to be faded out on the XJ6.

Picture of 1958 COMMER COB - DELIGHTFUL CLASSIC VAN, MEGA RARE! - SOLD

TODAY we delve into the world of the classic commercial here at Martin Howey Classics (Est. 25 years). On offer is a mega rare 1958 Commer Cob Series 1. A beautiful looking van designed by The Rootes Group and - in my opinion - way prettier than the ubiquitous Morris Minor van of the same era! A sleek looking van with perfect proportions.
