The E-Type would be one of the last great sports cars developed directly from a successful competition ancestor. Just as in the D-Type, a monocoque tub formed the main body/chassis structure for the E-Type while a tubular space frame extended forwards to support the engine. As the E-Type evolved so did customers needs, Jaguar had developed the twel..

The 911 Turbo, introduced in 1975 would remain in production until 1989, and was sufficiently different from previous versions to earn a new 930 model number.

In the summer of 1965, Mercedes-Benz launched its new replacements for both W 111 and W 112 saloons, the W 108 and W 109 respectively. In a bizarre twist of fate, this car's design was based on the W 111 coupé but widened and squared off as the fintail fashion was quickly fading by the mid 1960s. However, both W 111 and W 112 models were modernised..

BMW's director of product planning, Helmut Werner Bönsch and Alex von Falkenhausen, the designer of the BMW M10 engine, had both been owners of a 1600-2 (1602) and, subsequently, had both installed a two-litre engine in their respective cars. Following the realisation that they had both made the same modification, they prepared a joint proposal to ..

The Lancia Fulvia was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in 1963 with production running all the way through to 1976.

On testing it in 1967, Road and Track summed up the Fulvia as ‘a precision motorcar, an engineering tour d..

This 1984 Rolls-Royce Corniche is a beautifully presented example of the first-generation convertible in outstanding order throughout, with intriguing early provenance and a strong maintenance history. It is powered by the 6.75 litre alloy-block V8 engine, which is driven through a three-speed automatic transmission. The odometer currently reads 4..

Launched in 1966, the Jensen Interceptor broke away from the company's traditional method of construction that used glass reinforced plastic with the new car now incorporating an all steel bodyshell. Designed by Carrozzeria Touring, the early cars were built by Vignale before production was eventually carried out at the Jensen works in West Bromwic..
