Our rare 1974 Austin Allegro Mk1 is officially heading to Anglia Car Auctions for their June classic sale — and after spending around 25 years hidden away in a garage, it’s hard to believe just how well the little Austin has come up. When we first uncovered the car, it was thick with dust and […]
There’s something about old cars that never really leaves you.

Every now and then, something appears on eBay that stops even seasoned barn find hunters in their tracks. This wonderfully retro Yamaha Salient Deluxe is one of those machines. Finished in gloriously period gold paint with faux wood-effect trim panels, this 49cc Yamaha scooter looks like it has rolled straight out of an early-1980s ...
Some cars instantly make you stop scrolling. This 1971 Triumph TR6 is one of them. We were recently contacted by the long-term owner of this white TR6, who had owned the car since 1979. The car had spent decades tucked away and unused, with DVLA records showing it has been untaxed since February 1984. That […]
