Unrestored 1980s cars with genuine one-owner history are becoming incredibly difficult to find now, especially examples that have effectively disappeared from public view for decades. This 1982 Triumph Acclaim CD Triomatic looks to be one of those cars. Stored away after just 19,714 miles and untouched since the mid-1980s, the seller believes it could well […]

Few performance cars have achieved true legend status quite like the BMW M3 E30. Originally created to homologate BMW’s touring car racer for Group A competition, the box-arched E30 M3 quickly became one of the most recognisable performance cars of the 1980s — and now, 40 years after its launch, BMW and LEGO are celebrating […]
Special edition Mk1 Ford Fiestas are getting hard to find now, especially ones that still retain this much originality and history. This 1979 Ford Fiesta Sandpiper has appeared for sale looking remarkably well preserved in its original Roman Bronze finish, complete with detailed paperwork, long-term local history and a very smart recommissioning story behind it. […]
A genuine early Mini project is always going to grab attention, especially when it has apparently spent the last 35 years tucked away in dry storage. This 1961 Morris Mini 850 has now surfaced on eBay needing full restoration, but from the photos and seller description, it looks like the sort of car many Mini […]
The Hillman Imp has always had a loyal following, but finding a genuinely unspoiled example with long-term ownership and low mileage is becoming increasingly difficult. This 1974 Hillman Imp Super recently caught our eye on eBay thanks to its wonderfully honest appearance, original details and reported 34,000 miles from new. Finished in bright blue and […]
Classic car projects on eBay can be dangerously tempting sometimes. We started off looking for one interesting project this morning and somehow ended up staring at a brave Mk1 Fiesta, a brave BMW 635CSI restoration, a rare Mini Pickup and one of the maddest custom Beetles we’ve seen in years. Naturally, we now want ...
The Mk2 Ford Granada has quietly become one of those cars that stops people in their tracks at shows, fuel stations and auctions alike. Once a familiar sight on British roads, surviving examples are now getting thinner on the ground, especially usable V6 cars with the right stance and period feel. This particular 2.8-litre example [&...
There’s something properly cheerful about an early Vauxhall Viva HA. Small, simple and unmistakably British, they’ve become increasingly hard to find in genuinely usable condition, especially now so many have either disappeared completely or ended up tucked away in long-term collections. This freshly restored 1965 Vauxhall Viva HA Deluxe recently caught our eye on ...
The humble Subaru MV Pickup has quietly built up a cult following over the years, especially among people who appreciate unusual Japanese utility vehicles and proper old-school engineering. Now and then, one pops up that reminds you just how rare they’ve become in the UK — and this 1991 example definitely falls into that category. […]
We dropped a car off at Anglia Car Auctions yesterday ahead of their June 20-21 2026 sale, but quickly found ourselves getting distracted by the steady stream of interesting vehicles arriving on site. One of the standouts was this wonderful 1966 Morris FG recovery truck, which slowly burbled its way into the auction yard sounding […]
