Launched at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, the Jaguar E-Type was nothing short of a revelation. With its heady blend of supercar performance, breathtaking styling and low price tag, the newcomer left rivals reeling and customers clamouring. Early sportscar racing success at the hands of Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori amongst others helped cement its re..
There are few road and racing cars more instantly recognised than a Lotus Cortina, with its green arrow pointing its way so clearly towards success. Using Ford's eponymous two-door saloon and Colin Chapman's fabulous twin-cam engine, the marriage was a match made in heaven. Chapman commissioned Harry Mundy, of Coventry Climax fame, to come-up with ..
As automobile designers in the USA moved away from the excesses of the 1950s, the 1960s saw a new maturity in design that produced some of the best-looking cars in the history of the industry. Gone were the excessively chromed, bloated and finned bodies; in their place appeared sleek and low-slung machines that emphasised power, speed, comfort and ..
In 1960, executive director Fritz Nallinger proposed to develop a completely new SL design, based on technology from the W112.

They also tipped an unapologetic and undisguised nod to America’s muscle cars – the Ford Mustang in particular. After the DB6 came the DBS, still with a s..
The values of these wonderful cars are now following the same upward climb as the Pagodas; and in this condition represent an extremely sound investment as well as being a real delight to own and drive. In March 1962, Mercedes-Benz released the 300 SE Coupé. The car featured the Daimler-Benz top of the range 2996cc engine and, as such, this vehicle..
The Jensen Interceptor was launched in 1966, utilising an all steel bodyshell, breaking away from the company's traditional method of construction that used GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic).
