Classic Cars Take a trip down memory lane with our classic cars from yesteryear.

Citroen Traction Avant Jun 8 2007 Every now and again an automotive star is born, sending reverberations throughout the industry. This is exactly what happened in 1924 when Andre Citroen unveiled the Traction Avant. more MGB Jun 1 2007 Never was a sports car more loved by the British public than the MGB - a car that was later literally dumped by its manufacturer. more VW Karmann Ghia May 25 2007 For most who take an interest in that wonderful automotive era of the late 50s and 60s, the name Volkswagen conjures up just one image...the iconic Beetle. more Triumphant Stag May 18 2007 The demise of the British motor industry was a saga of brilliant ideas, botched manufacturing and often dreadful management. more Ford Classic May 11 2007 It was a big, bold, shiny, heavenly set of wheels. Some called it tacky, but with more front than Diana Dors, the 1960s Ford Classic was certainly a car of its time. more Austin A99 Apr 27 2007 Rally fans will remember or have read of Pat Moss's win at the wheel of an Austin Healey on the 1960 Liege-Rome-Liege rally. more Jaguar XJ220 Apr 13 2007 One of the great British supercars - the Jaguar XJ220 - is a rare sight these days. more Rover Jet1 Apr 6 2007 In the 1950s Rover was regarded as the staid wheels of the well-heeled. They went about life in their own snooty way, and you would hardly have guessed the company had a tiger by the tail. more Austin Ambassador Mar 30 2007 There are some cars that are easily forgotten and the Austin Ambassador is one of them. Launched in March 1982, it took the reins from the disappointing wedge-shaped Austin Princess, with the added advantage of a tailgate. more Ford Consul Mar 23 2007 When people talk about the fabulous Fords of the 1970s they usually go gooey-eyed over the Capri, Cortina and Escort. more Abbot Mar 16 2007 For those lucky enough to have a pocket deep enough to indulge in a little fantasy, the world of military vehicles offers some amazing opportunities. more BMC 1800 Mar 9 2007 That odd, and later unstable conglomeration of great British marques, BMC lived in a strange world of certainty in the early 1960s. more BMW Z1 Feb 16 2007 One car which I believe has never been granted the credit it deserves is the BMW Z1. This is the daddy of all the BMW Z Series. more Vauxhall Victor Feb 9 2007 Some cars can capitalise on their own failings. A perfect example of this is the Vauxhall Victor F of the late 1950s which has become quite a rarity because thousands of them just rotted away at a relatively early age. more Ford Escort Jan 12 2007 So much has been written about the great Ford Escort, launched in 1968, that we tend to forget a model bearing the same name produced a few years earlier. more Bedford CA Van Jan 5 2007 The Multi Purpose Vehicle is often regarded as a modern idea - but it has its roots in some important vehicles of yesteryear. more The Riley RM Dec 19 2006 Just after the end of the Second World War, that great British manufacturer Riley hit the ground running with a model that still remains one of the most graceful family cars ever. more Ford Prefect Dec 8 2006 How it was possible for a model name to progress and survive through that amazing transitional period from sit-up-and-beg styles to modern three-box thinking is well illustrated by the Ford Prefect more Pierce Silver-Arrow Dec 1 2006 In the 1860s, George N. Pierce earned a living from making cages for birds and squirrels. Little did he know that his homespun ingenuity honed in Buffalo, USA, would result in a car that has become one of the most sought after classics in the world. more A real prize Fighter Nov 17 2006 As we have seen in the past, some cars are classics before they hit the streets. Such a car is the new Fighter T from that amazing company Bristol. more Triumph Spitfire Nov 3 2006 I always wanted a Triumph Spitfire but never got around to buying one. A shame because the Spitfire was a little cracker of a sports car that made a big impression before the end of British mass-produced two seaters. more Vovlo 760 Oct 27 2006 Back in 1982 Volvo introduced a model that set the market agape. When the large 760 was rolled out, one of the top motoring writers of the time, LJK Setright, described it as follows: "Scarcely credible even as a car of the present, though some of its qualities are redolent of a sadly lost past." more Renault 5 Oct 13 2006 When it first appeared in 1972, the Renault 5 was described as sympathetic and amusing by a member of the motoring Press. more Porsche 356 Oct 6 2006 In 1875 a world automotive genius was born. Ferdinand Porsche became a grand master of German motoring excellence and his name is linked to cars like the Mercedes-Benz 38/250... more Ford Edsel Sep 29 2006 Sometimes a motor manufacturer can get it hopelessly and horribly wrong. Such was the case with the Edsel, an American giant of the late 1950s. more
