A fantastic way into historic racing. Not to be confused with the incomporable A35 Academy cars, which were limited on power and had standard suspension.

This example belonged to the Chairman of the A35 Owners Club before being converted to Speedwell specification in 2019 and has been raced up until the 2023 season. The car was thoroughly refreshed in late 2022/ early 2023 including a ...

Model History

The late Ferdinand Piëch is one of the legends of automotive history. The grandson of Ferdinand Porsche, he was behind the development of iconic cars like the Porsche 917, the Audi Quattro and the Bugatti Veyron.

A very hard and uncompromising boss, his expectation were often unrealistic and far-fetched, although in hindsight it did lead to some incredible ...

This beautiful little Frogeye has been fully restored by the owner of a very well respected Bentley/ Rolls-Royce restoration company. A very small number of the Sprite Mk I were supercharged in period with a number being converted later in their lives. This is an example of a latterly converted Sprite but it has been done using a period correct Shorrock supercharger and fastidious attention to detail. ...

1 of just 115 examples of a Home Market Right Hand Drive XK150 3. 8 S. With 265bhp, triple carbs and a 9:1 compression ratio, the 3. 8 S was the ultimate XK150 before the arrival of the E-type in 1961.

This example is, in my opinion, the perfect combination. Mechanically sorted and yet incredibly original. Guy Broad has been over the car and he is confident that it has never had a panel ...

However, the 190SL's lacklustre performance coupled with the very high price of the 300SL meant there was a huge gulf of potential clients in the middle who wanted performance ...

A stunning restored example of the 'Last Hurrah' of the Elan in its most potent form, the Sprint. With 128bhp, these really were one of the fastest little sports cars available at the time, in fact Autosport magazine managed a 0-60mph time that pipped the Lamborghini Miura!

Finished in Tawny Metallic over Cirrus White, this really is a car of its time and looks beautiful in ...
