Picture of 1982 MINI VAN - MUCH LOVED, PRETTY LITTLE THING, GREAT DRIVE - SOLD

HERE is my 1982 Mini van. She is a little gem, and still sports her proper spec basic metal radiator grille, sliding windows, build in door pockets etc.

Without a doubt, she has had a great deal of love and care lavished on her over the years and, in particular, for the past four years. A brief look around her reveals replacement sills (proper Mini panels) and probably floors too although ...

Picture of 1954 WOLSELEY 4/44 - ONCE OWNED BY RICHARD BURTON! - SOLD

HERE is another little gem from my stable of 1950s classics. Registered in December 1954 (Just two weeks after I was born.... yes, fascinating I know!!) and then two years later - according to hand written notes in the car's file - purchased by Richard Burton shortly after completing filming the epic movie "The Robe." Now the second point of interest is obviously a great deal more fascinating ...

Picture of 1959 FORD PREFECT - BARGAIN BUY OF A LOW MILEAGE CLASSIC! - SOLD

This is a 1959 Ford Prefect 4-door with just 28, 000 miles on the clock. The previous owner of 21 years told me that had always believed the reading to be correct. The oldest MoT in the history file goes back to when the car was just 16-years-old and it had covered less than 7, 000 then. Maybe it was just a local runabout; maybe it was a second car. Anyway, with just four owners from new prior to ...

Picture of 1947 RILEY RMB - MEGA RARE EARLY 2.5 MODEL. SUCH GREAT STYLE - SOLD

HERE is a really rare 1947 early Riley RMB, the the sought after 2. 5 twin cam engine. V5 states just seven previous owners from new and she is on the button and drives through her gears. Brakes need going through. She is a pretty enough example and note that sleek design. The bonnet is six inches longer than the sister car, the more common RMA and RME versions which were 1500cc.

Picture of 5795 1965 RILEY 4/72 - RARELY OFFERED TOP OF THE RANGE FARINA! - SOLD

RARELY do you see a Riley 4/ 72 offered for sale these days. It makes me shudder to think how many we lost in the 60s and 70s to £banger racing" but there you go. Then was then. The Riley was top of the tree in the Farina pecking order as it rose from the bottom with the Austin Cambridge, Morris Oxford, Wolseley 16/ 60, MG Magnette and finally the Riley 4/ 72 with its sporting pretentions. Complete ...

Picture of 1960 HILLMAN MINX SERIES IIIA - WHAT A TOTAL GEM, LOVELY! - SOLD

HERE is my 1960 Hillman Minx Series IIIA in that lovely salmon colour that the Rootes Group used with white roof and boot. Just lovely. Totally restored in 2008 and then put away in storage until now. Starts, sounds lovely, miles of 46, 000 must be right due to paperwork and I have driven her around the yard through the gears and she is spot on. Brakes will need attention due to storage years.

Picture of 1976 TRIUMPH 1500TC - MEGA RARE TWIN CARB, GREAT GARAGE FIND - SOLD

RARELY seen these days, this is my 1976 Triumph 1500TC. These twin carb models were typical of the Triumph brand, offering little pocket rockets which were also idea as 4-door family cars. This delightful old girl has recently come into my possession after emerging from a decent spell of time in dry storage. I am told, maybe 15 years. Maybe a little longer. There is an absolute stack of paperwork ...

Picture of 1957 FORD PREFECT - STUNNING ALL ROUND, WHAT A TOTAL GEM! - SOLD

THIS is my 1957 Ford Prefect deluxe in outstanding condition all round. A 1950s show car if ever I saw one. These once utilitarian Fords were built at Dagenham at the rate of around 100, 000 per year. The remaining numbers must be tragically low as the bulk of them were driven into the ground. In a manner of speaking.

This old girl is in the sort of condition that could make it pass for ...
