The Triumph TR6 was manufactured for seven years from 1969 and by the time production came to an end in July 1976, it was the best-seller of the TR range. The bodywork closely resembled that of the previous model, the Triumph TR5, but the front and rear were squared off and all TR6s featured inline six-cylinder engines. For the US market, the engin..
The Series III fulfils a roll in the E-Type line-up missed by previous generations by adding 6” into the wheelbase thus allowing the more mature and taller driver to enjoy the visceral experience first penned by Jaguar’s chief designer back with the Series I in the mid-1960s. Albeit now with a smother 12-cylinder power plant, generally more space a..
The GT6 was launched in 1966 as a fastback version of the popular Spitfire model. Powered by a 2.0 litre engine from the Triumph 2000 the model enjoyed a production run until 1973. This new model, like the Spitfire, inherited what was essentially the Triumph Herald’s chassis and running gear which had already proved capable of handling six-cylinder..
Koenig Specials specialised in modifying the flagship models of the top European brands such as Porsche, Mercedes, Ferrari, BMW and Jaguar.

Introduced alongside the Silver Cloud II and Bentley S2 in the Autumn of 1959, Rolls-Royce's new limousine model, the long-wheelbase Phantom V, effectively replaced both the royalty/heads-of-state-only Phantom IV and the Silver Wraith. The latter's relatively short wheelbase (for a limousine) had made it all but impossible for coachbuilders to prov..
Originally registered on 1st August 1976 this delightful Jaguar has been lovingly cared for by its fastidious vendor. Having hankered after an XJ12 long wheelbase for some time, he located PLD 500R. After being impressed by its very sound body and largely original condition the vendor set about improving this Series II Jaguar and has invested signi..
