Picture of 1974 AUSTIN MINI CLUBMAN ESTATE - RARE CAR NOW! - SOLD

HERE is my 1974 Austin Mini Clubman estate, a model rarely seen these days. She is a pretty little 70s classic in bright orange and has been a regular user for the past few years, completing around 24, 000 miles in the past six years which is pretty unusual for a classic car! She is a genuine eye catcher of a classic and a reliable driver. The bulk of her I would describe as being fine as is. She ...

Picture of 1958 MORRIS ISIS SERIES II - MEGA RARE, 2.6 HEALEY UNIT! - SOLD

HERE is a mega rare 1958 Morris Isis Series II. This model had a very short production span with less than 4, 000 being built. The story goes that BMC was so obsessed with launching their brand new Farina shape (which they did later that year) that the Series II Isis and Oxford were phased out very quickly. You will not the Series II here with its different rear end from the earlier Isis which carried ...

Picture of 1947 MORRIS TEN SERIES M - RARE MODEL, RESTORED, SO PRETTY! - SOLD

HERE is my 1947 Morris Ten Series M, and what a pretty 40s classic she is too. Restored just a few years ago and thousands of pounds lavished upon her as the history file will testify. She remained with her first owner for a mammoth 52 years!!!

Rock solid, so pretty and with a lovely ohv engine. This post-war Morris along with the Vauxhall Ten were the first British mass production cars ...

Picture of 6995 1985 MERCEDES W126 280SE - WARRANTED LOW MILES, BEAUTIFUL! - SOLD

NORMALLY, when you hear or read about classic Mercedes cars being "low mileage", then it usually transpires that their low miles are something in the region of 150, 000. Well here is my 1985 280SE with just 78, 000 miles on the clock and with full service history too. The first eight stamps in the service book are from the supplying dealer David J. Sparshatt Ltd. of Eastleigh, Hampshire and then there ...

Picture of 6995 1951 ROVER 75 CYCLOPS - MEGA RARE, MOST VALUABLE OF ALL P4s! - SOLD

THIS is my 1951 Rover 75 Mark 1. The 2103cc straight-six first ever P4 (launched in 1949) which became known later as the Cyclops for the obvious reason that it had that extra "one-eyed light" in the centre of the front grille. Note the flat front wings and the totally different rear end to every P4 ever produced between the birth of Cyclops and the final Rover 110 which ran until 1964. When it comes ...

Picture of 1964 MG 1100 - RARELY OFFERED NOWADAYS, CUTE & FUN DRIVE! - SOLD

THIS is my 1964 MG 1100, the sporty version of the ADO 16 range of 1100/ 1300s which is rarely seen these days. Fitted with the 1098cc Cooper unit and twin carbs, this is a real fun little sporty number in a real period sort of "duck egg" blue. Excellent interior, sports steering wheel, very good underneath and with the added bonus of an MoT until January 2023, even though tests are no longer needed ...

Picture of 1964 TRIUMPH VITESSE 6 - RARE EARLY 1600cc MODEL, GREAT FUN! - SOLD

THIS is a rare early Vitesse 6, in other words the original model with a straight-six 1600cc engine.

She has a current MoT until September this year and is a pretty and sound example. Bonny colour scheme in royal blue and cream and an excellent undamaged interior. She drives superbly and I have always been a huge fan of these early Vitesse 1600s. I am told that recently she has been in ...

Picture of 1969 FORD CORTINA MARK 2 ESTATE - MEGA RARE, BENCH SEAT! - SOLD

HERE's an extremely rare bird. A Mark 2 Cortina estate with bench seat and column change. She's a nice old girl and I had her cruising spot on at 60mph today on a stretch of the old A1. Appears to be very sound underneath and old invoices and MoTs don't show any evidence of what you would call structural work. From the paperwork, it would appear that she came into (or back into) the ...

Picture of 1972 TRIUMPH 2500 P. I. RARE & POWERFUL CRUISER. 1 OWNER CAR - SOLD

DON'T hang around thinking about this one if it appeals to you. It is now exactly 20 years since I owned one of these fabulous cars and, even then, that was before my lifelong hobby turned into a business. It was my own car and I used it daily for two years. All in all, the best classic car I have ever owned!

If you are reading this then you probably know what these big Triumphs ...

Picture of 1957 P4 ROVER 60 - JUST 2 OWNERS FROM NEW, LOVELY OLD GIRL! - SOLD

HERE we have a 1957 P4 Rover 60 with just two owners from new! The first, a Miss Eliza Dick, owned the car from brand new until 1983 when she sold it to a Mr Douglas Taylor. They are the only two previous owners of this proud old girl. Recently re-trimmed in a shade of light red, she is on the button and the engine sounds great. That is probably due to the fact that the mileage of just 60, 000 is ...

Picture of 1972 RENAULT 12 ESTATE - UP-RATED WITH SPORTS ENGINE, SUPERB - SOLD

WELL, look at this. If you like classic estate cars, then this may well entice you! What we have here is a 1972 Renault 12TL estate - but with a huge difference. This old girl was rebuilt in 2011 and had a Fuego 1647cc, 5-speed R18 gearbox and internals from a Renault 25 dropped in. The result is a 100bhp Renault estate. A genuine wolf in sheep's clothing. And she drives beautifully. So smooth, ...

Picture of 1937 MORRIS 14/6 SERIES 11 - FLAGSHIP MODEL, GORGEOUS! - SOLD

THIS is my 1937 Morris 14 Series II, readily identifiable by its chrome radiator grille. She is two-tone blue and black and in super condition for an 84-year-old 6-cylinder classic. Solid, pretty and with a delightfully period art-deco style interior, she is a rare bird indeed these days. This model was a flagship vehicle for Morris. Her interior is just lovely with original blue leather and that ...

Picture of 1963 HILLMAN MINX - WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING. ALPINE 1725cc! - SOLD

IT is pretty damned rare that I come across a classic these days which really tempts me into keeping it for myself. But this is one of those cars.

Just over two years ago, I owned this and sold it pretty much straight away. Even then I thought I should have hung onto it - at least for a while - and simply enjoyed the driving experience!

Now I have managed to buy it back. ...

Picture of 1964 SINGER GAZELLE - JUST LOVELY & RARELY AS SOUND AS THIS! - SOLD

THIS is my 1964 Singer Gazelle in burgundy with a grey stripe and excellent contrasting cream interior and stunning wooden dash. She has covered just 59, 000 miles and is about as nice as you will expect to find when it comes to these up-market Rootes Group cars.

A beautiful driver and stunning looker, she also has metal front wings which is always a point worth mentioning with these ...

Picture of 1968 BEDFORD CA DEBONAIR - TIDY EXAMPLE, SOLID CHASSIS! - SOLD

THIS Bedford CA Debonair 4-berth has come my way. The old girl is not really my cup of tea but I am sure she will be someone else's! A tidy enough 1968 model on a G plate. Chassis looks to be really good. Was running around 18 months ago when, I am told, she coughed and spluttered while out on a run. She made it home and has not been used since. There is a sticker in the rear window from a Steam ...
