For June 2003, we are doing something different for the Car of the Month feature…. In May 1973, the replacement for the seminal Austin 1100/1300 – for many years, the […]
May brings us an example of the larger Issigonis car: the Austin 1800. The example featured this month is a member of the Boucke family fleet, having been owned by […]
April’s car of the month features the optimum version of BL’s “Corporate sports car”, the Triumph TR7. In this case, I refer to the more attractive convertible version, sporting the […]
March’s car of the month returns us to an old favourite of mine: the BMC 1100. This particular example is a credit to the breed, and is owned by Michael […]
This top-of-the-range Princess 2200HLS belongs to Kevin Davis, who also owns the Rover BRM featured in November. Kevin describes the mint looking Princess: ‘It’s a 1980 2200HLS Auto finished on […]
A New Year and a new Car of the Month. Many people would call the MG Maestro Turbo the swansong for the Maestro/Montego line, and it has to be said […]

This top-of-the-range Princess 2200HLS belongs to John Capon, who also owns the Marina featured in March. It was purchased from a man who originally had it as his company car […]
A more obscure Car of The Month for April. This time, I thought I’d go for the charms of the big and imposing Austin 3-litre. That being the case, the […]

Guillaume Stutter’s Rover SD1. This 2600 Vanden Plas was produced for the French market with a “no deletion” options list during 1984. The intention was for the UK manufacturer to […]
