1931 Bentley 4½ Litre Supercharged Le Mans
The “Blower” Bentley is one of the most masculine, muscular and sporting motorcars ever built.

1961 Jaguar E-Type Barn Find

1985 Aston Martin Lagonda Saloon
Aston Martin’s periodic revival of the Lagonda name saw it applied to a stretched, 4-door V8 in the mid-1970s, a mere handful of which were constructed.

1936 MG NB Magnette Airline Coupe
It could easily be argued that one of the prettiest swept-back designs of the 1930s was on the very few Airline Coupes that graced MG chassis. The design was created by H.W. Allingham, and the cathedral-style lighting panels on the sliding sunroof, the spare tire neatly blended into the swept-back tail underneath a metal cover,…
