The Jensen GT was the shooting-brake version of the classic Jensen-Healey sports car. Shooting brake is just another way of saying 2-door wagon, but Jensen Motors only made a handful (500ish) of these clown shoe-looking hardtops. Today’s GT doesn’t have an engine, but it comes with a Jensen-Healey sports car as a donor. Find this […]
I’ve been in love with the Aston Martin DB9 since its stunning shape was introduced in 2004. The 5.9-liter V12-powered super luxury coupe is nothing short of legendary on the street or parked in your driveway for unknown and unimaginably expensive maintenance. Find this 2005 Aston Martin DB9 offered for $10,000 in Las Vegas, NV […]
This next car comes as a tip from Cory, who writes: The solution when a Lotus Elise is too common. Never seen or heard of such a car! DT: This is curious — I’ve never seen an actual Tommykaira ZZ in the flesh, I am a huge fan of this car and know more about […]
The difference between a Rolls-Royce and Bentley can be confusing at times, because both started in the early 20th Century as independent brands, but in 1931 Bentley was acquired by Rolls. After various horrible financial decisions, Rolls-Royce went bankrupt (mostly due to their jet engine development costs) and was nationalized by the UK in the […]
The Bentley Arnage was a full-sized luxury sedan built in the UK from 1999 through the 2010 model year as Bentley’s (which was owned by Vickers at the time) starter offering. That doesn’t mean it is inexpensive, because the Arnage sold for more than $200,000 when new. For that princely chunk of change, you got […]
The square-body Mark II Austin Healey Sprite was introduced halfway through the 1961 model year on a chassis that was better in almost every sense. Morris Garage demanded a badge-engineered version and got the Midget, and Innocenti made a version called the 950 Spider. Today we’ve got a simple Sprite with a few upgrades offered […]
The Lotus Seven is an example of a car that you don’t take to meet your girlfriend’s parents for the first time. However, the Seven is the perfect car to take to a track day or a twisty mountain road on a sunny spring day. Today’s Seven is interesting because it has a Yamaha sportbike […]
The GT6 was a fixed-roof version of Triumph’s small Spitfire convertible sold from 1966 through 1973. With the Giovanni Michelotti-designed fastback roof shape, the GT6 buyer would also get an upgraded 2.0 liter inline-6 mated to a 4-speed with optional Laycock de Normanville overdrive. Find this 1972 Triumph GT6 Mk III offered for $9500 in […]
The Lotus Elise was introduced for the 1996 model year as the ultimate in minimalist mid-engined fun from Colin Chapman’s Lotus Cars, but alas, those Series 1 cars were never imported to the US of A. America had to wait until 2005 when the Series 2 Elise was federalized for US sales with a Toyota […]
The MGB GT continues to be one of the easiest (and cheapest) ways to get into a classic Pininfarina-styled machine with a racing pedigree and class. The BGT is a rare example of a car with a price that hasn’t been appreciated into the stratosphere by hungry classic car stamp collectors and I couldn’t be […]
