The classic Daimler 250 V8 is a charming car, as luxurious on the road as a cruise ship is at sea.

We bring you here a most sumptuous Daimler V8 250.

Superficially, a Daimler 250 is a badge-engineered Jaguar Mk2. Only a discerning car buff would clock the moulded Daimler grille in place of the Jaguar mascot. But the Daimler isn't a leaping cat with a few changed spots, ...

The final – and some would say ultimate – Capri arrived in 1978.

Designated Project Carla, the re-invigorated coupe looked mean and moody, and proved that the Ford stylists had not lost their magic touch.

Once again, the Capri became the pushy young exec’s weapon of choice, and the ‘S’ versions did all they needed to impress potential buyers who may have otherwise ...

Stylish and capable, the Mk2 is, without doubt, one of Jaguar’s finest models.

This well-sorted and cherished Mk2 is an enjoyable car to drive and the very essence of a British sporting saloon. From the luxurious interior to the taut and confidence-inspiring handling, you are unlikely to be disappointed behind the wheel of a good example like this one.

On the road, the ...

If ever a car has earned its stripes, its the Mini because never before has so much been put into so little for so few.

In a world where is increasingly difficult to tell one small car from another and call it your own, the Mini now looks more special than ever. Its still the greatest joy to drive on four wheels.

An Iconic Mercedes sportster, that’s better suited to cultured cruising than hair raising.

Classics, don’t come more timelessly elegant than the Pagoda Mercedes, in any setting, and these cars are perfectly capable of crossing continents without breaking into a sweat. Now, much more valuable than the R107 SL that succeeded it, Pagoda (codenamed W113 by Mercedes) values are on a trajectory ...

CAR INFORMATION

More Power, More Fun – I have always loved the raw, unrefined sports car look of the TR6.

The car's performance – both acceleration and braking are more than adequate. The connection between car, driver and road are exceptional. The handling is excellent for a 70's vintage roadster. It all adds up to incredible fun. And it seems every day someone ...

CAR DESCRIPTION

Sometime on or about September 1967 the 3. 4 Litre Mark 2 cars were re badged as the 340. The 340 was an interim model intended to fill the gap until the introduction of the XJ6 in September 1968.

The automatic transmission was upgraded to a Borg-Warner 35 dual drive range. Power steering by Marles Varamatic was now available on the 340. Servicing intervals ...

When introduced in 1979, the Jaguar XJ6 Series III was not immediately to everyone's liking. Despite an expensive redesign with its Pininfarina styled roof, and refreshed cabin, some Big Cat enthusiasts felt that it was taking liberties with the classic looks of one of their favourites.

In fact, the Series III set out to rectify some of the deficiencies of the Series II, and was ...

Presented in 1975, the XJ-S replaced the legendary E-type in Jaguar’s range. As well as being great to drive, it introduced new standards of passenger safety, with impact-absorbing bumpers on special struts, side-impact barriers built into the doors and a fuel tank mounted directly behind the rear seats to protect it from rear damage.

It's unusual to find a facelifted car that's better looking than the car it was designed to replace but Jaguar managed this unusual feat, with the Mark 1 replacement.

Not many other cars can claim to have built a reputation in as many ways as the Mark 2 Jag has. From stints as a star car of television, a race car driven by the likes of Sir Stirling Moss, to an infamous bank ...

Sales of the S-Types were disappointing and with the new ‘single’ model still a year or so away, Lyons decided that an interim model was vital. Hence the 420 Sovereign was introduced in 1967.

In appearance it was an S Type with the Mark X frontal treatment. Like the S-Type, it benefited from the independent rear suspension first fitted to the E-Type but unlike the s-type it was fitted ...

Nostalgia is popular these days and the Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is one of the best muscle cars of the smoking-tire era.

By the time the 1976 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am hit the market, Trans Am’s had found their niche. Despite ever-higher prices, output rose again as Pontiac sold one Trans Am for every three Firebirds -- even starting at USD4740 with a standard 185 horsepower 400-cid ...

If it’s a classic British roadster you’re after, you cannot afford to ignore the TR2.

Said to be the cheapest British car to top 100mph, the TR2 received plenty of plaudits from road testers of the time and "fun to drive" was a regular comment. And they were right, the TR2 is just that.

Its 90bhp may not sound a lot today, but allied to compact dimensions and light kerb ...

The Ferrari 308 was a classic car from the moment it was launched in 1975 and nearly 40 years later, the 308 has managed to hang on to some magic, even if you didn’t grow up watching Magnum P. I.

Whether you recognize it from posters on a bedroom wall or as the chariot of Tom Selleck’s mustache, many people know this red wedge instantly.

It was powered by the V8 from ...

Beautiful styling, excellent road manners, and in real terms, for a car with such iconic status, values are still realistic.

Although automotive styling is subjective, the one vehicle that seems to top more opinion polls naming the most beautiful car in the world, the Jaguar E-type. Styled mainly by aerodynamicist Malcolm Sayer, with significant input by Sir William Lyons, the coupe and ...
