I would agree, though it seems the auctioneer’s estimate range was spot on – perhaps it’s a bit tattier than it looks in the photos.

The initials MG are as famous as practically any in the classic motoring world, especially in the UK and USA. Known primarily for its sports cars, MG also produced a wide range of saloons and coupés, all with a […]

Sold at the weekend for £7,830 including premium, not bad against a £4-6,000 estimate.

I’ve always had a soft spot for big coupés – or at least, big by European standards – indeed, I’m currently on my third, my Mercedes 280CE following a silver E9 back in the ‘90’s and a metallic burgundy Audi GT in […]

At last! A full-on, classic car event to go to! Last weekend saw the twice-postponed Bicester Scramble take place, and for the first time, over both days of the weekend. Unsurprisingly, Saturday and Sunday were […]

I must admit, I thought the photos were “from days gone by”, and since I wrote this piece, the auctioneers have put up a whole bunch of new photos and I have to say the car looks reasonably tidy. Mileage is just […]

One of the most familiar silhouettes in the classic car world – in the UK, at least – is that of the Jaguar Mk2, not least because of prolonged television exposure as the car driven by Inspector Morse while sol […]

@claus – Aston prices have dropped considerably in the last couple of years as you no doubt already know – this DB4 would have been a £450-500k car not that long ago, and I’m seeing DB6’s now for £200k – S […]

I’m beside myself with excitement, obviously… Meanwhile, the subject of our PF sold yesterday for a very respectable £17,920 incl. commission. It was a very tidy car, lots of summer fun (if summer ever starts).

A few months ago we featured what you might call a typically British version of what originally was a very American style of vehicle – the 2-door pick-up i.e. a utility vehicle based on a saloon or estate but w […]
