I hate to be the one to say it, but Morgan is no longer British owned either. An Italian investment company bought a controlling stake earlier this year…

Well, based on this evidence I really don’t know why everyone was complaining so much about living under their oppressive totalitarian communist regimes. Tsk.

I thought the blue one looked good until I spied the metallic green one in the cutaway drawing. That takes it to another level of cool.

@yrhmblhst, We get to do cool stuff like this because we’re cool people, of course! Maybe you need to lobby your local Hagerty representatives to put something similar on in the States, perhaps by marching on […]

For an example of a superb match of wheels and car, I nominate the unusually shod Avenger. And it’s a rare two-door.

I’m not sure about white leather but what that Countach really needs is bumpers complying with FVMSS 215.

Hi Anders, thanks for commenting and good luck with your sale. I presume that’s your Corolla GTi-16 in the photograph? Great to see one, they’re virtually extinct over here.

Ah yes, the good old Sea Cucumber. If I was to have an E-Type I certainly wouldn’t be paying £100k for it, so this one could fit the bill. The V12 engine would be fabulous but if it started to play up I suppose […]

This story makes me smile.

In terms of undiscovered spare part hoards, I’m reminded of when British specialist Rimmer Bros heard of a stock of Rover SD1 parts left over from a failed venture to build cars i […]

I knew mine was a bit of a snotter and it was very cheap, but even I didn’t […]

I was curious enough to go back and look at the result on this one… Drum Roll… Result including Premium: £4,452.

120,000 miles, service history until it went into storage, and ready to go again. Seems fair to me.

Dear God man, why are you even hesitating?! You’ll never have an excuse as good as this again to make the Green Devil wide and proud!

Just ignoring your own quandary for a moment (it’s really not a quandary), […]

“Good design makes a product understandable. At best, it is self-explanatory.”

This is the very key to it all and so rarely found, particularly where the current trends in automotive design seem to achieve the […]

Thanks for the taking the time to comment Rachael, I’m glad it brought back some memories. It was probably as mad and dangerous as it ever got – absolutely perfect!

Yes, the Polo does tend to get overlooked and I’ve knowingly done the same in my article, but I made sure to include a few photographs to make up for it. I’m partial to the MkII squareback; the mini-estate ver […]
