Introduced in 3.8-liter form in 1961, the Jaguar E-type caused a sensation when it appeared, with instantly classic lines and a 150-mph top speed. Its design owed much to that of the racing D-type: a monocoque tub forming the main structure, while a tubular space frame extended forward to support […]

1960 Aston Martin DB4GT “Jet” coupe
Coachbuilt examples of the DB4/5/6 family of Aston Martins are extremely rare, making the unique Bertone-bodied car offered here all the more precious and desirable.

1985 Aston Martin Lagonda Saloon
Aston Martin’s periodic revival of the Lagonda name saw it applied to a stretched, 4-door V8 in the mid-1970s, a mere handful of which were constructed. When the concept re-emerged, it was the sensation of the 1976 London Motor Show. Clothed in striking “razor-edge” bodywork designed by William Towns […]
1936 MG NB Magnette Airline Coupe
It could easily be argued that one of the prettiest swept-back designs of the 1930s was on the very few Airline Coupes that graced MG chassis. The design was created by H.W. Allingham, and the cathedral-style lighting panels on the sliding sunroof, the spare tire neatly blended into the swept-back […]
1961 Triumph TR4
The Triumph TR4 was introduced in 1961 to follow its very successful predecessors, the TR2 and TR3.

1959 MGA Twin-Cam Roadster

Running gear was based on the TF, with independent coil-sprung wishbone front suspension and a live rear […]
1966 Jaguar E-Type Series I 2+2 Coupe
If Les Vingt Quatre Heures du Mans has been responsible for the new E-type Jaguar, then that Homeric contest on the Sarthe circuit will have been abundantly justified. Here we have one of the quietest and most flexible cars on the market, capable of whispering along in top gear at […]
