1954 Bentley R-Type 🚗💨 is the successor of the famous Bentley Mk.VI & has a 4.5L straight-six “F-head” engine, that produces 130bhp. With the help of its GM 4-speed automatic gearbox, it manages a 0-60mph time of 13 seconds. Top speed is just over 100mph with ease.
👌
Manufactured in Crewe (England) with steel body panels, it weighed nearly 2 tonnes. The Bentley “Flying B” hood ornament is a touch of class & the rear-hinged front doors makes every entrance & exit an elegant experience. One of very few RHD’s left in existence, pedestaling it as a…

1965 Jensen CV8 MkIII 🚗💨 carries four passengers comfortably, to speeds in excess of 135mph. The engine produces 330bhp, a hefty 425lb-ft of torque at its max & managed 0-60mph within 7 seconds. Technically (due to the location of the engine), this example is a front mid-engined Grand Tourer, that was once owned by the daughter of Mr. Jensen.
👌
Hand-built in West Bromwich by Jensen Motors, it featured a lightweight fibre-glass body & a powerful Chrysler 6.3L V8 engine. The CV8 MkIII production numbers were already low & this example is one of only a few still in existence, making it…

1972 Lancia Fulvia Sport 🚗💨 coach-built by Zagato, is a 1.6 V4 sports-coupe. Built with aluminium body parts & with the help of a 5-speed gearbox, it manages to reach speeds of 120mph. Designed by Ercole Spada & badged “Costa” (Italian for “race”) it makes 117bhp & more than 115Nm of torque, when at peak performance.
👌
Already light weight, Perspex windows were then used to make this a “Fanalone” rally cars & allow Lancia to dominate in european & world rally championships, for many years. This is one of a very few RHD examples in the world, making it…

1998 Mercedes-Benz SL320 🚗💨 (R129) is a 3.2L luxury roadster, that reaches a top speed of 150mph. The V6 (built with a 90-degree angle) produces 228bhp, 232 lb·ft of torque & via a 5-speed automatic transmission, propels the car from standstill to 60mph in 8 seconds.
👌
This is a 1998 facelift example, that catapulted Mercedes into another league of style, sophistication & engineering. It was able to detect extreme tilt or a potential crash/rollover happening, which then deploys an automatic spring-loaded hydraulic roll bar within 0.3 seconds, to prevent further damage to passengers & the car. The seats are a masterpiece within themselves. There are many patented parts; like the magnesium frames, electric motors & the head restraint-integrated seatbelts, which really helped cement the R129 in the history books, when it was just days old. This model was the first to be given a Mercedes V6, making it…

1969 Pontiac GTO (Judge) Ram Air IV🚗💨 is a 400-cubic-inched 6.6L muscle car. The engine is a V8 that produces nearly 400bhp & 445 lb-ft of torque. It took an impressive 5 seconds to get to 60mph from standstill & went onto a top speed of 123mph, making it one of the fastest muscle cars of its era.
👌
Under the dash is a pull-knob which opens the dual-hood scoops, to feed the Rochester Quadrajet carburetor. The name “Judge” was a reference to the “Here Comes the Judge” catchphrase from Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In TV show. Near 7000 GTO Judge’s were built but fewer than 300 received the Ram Air IV engine upgrade, making surviving examples (like this one) an ultra-rare collector’s piece.

1986 Austin Mini Piccadilly 🚗💨 is a limited-edition car made as part of the London series. When launched, it had 40bhp & 50 lb-ft of torque. Weighing in at 540kg, the small 1L engine would take 18 seconds to reach 60mph & max speed out at 80mph.
👌
Velvet seat trim in Claret, bitter chocolate & coffee set the tone & a cashmere gold metallic paint, matched the interior perfectly. Along the side of each of the 2500 examples that were produced, is a coachline & Piccadilly decals on the rear panels & bootlid. It measures only 120 inches from front to back & with less than 300 surviving examples, it will always be…

1977 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith II 🚗💨 is a 6.75L ultra-luxury saloon, which produces just under 200bhp. With 500 Nm of torque & being RWD, it quietly whispers to 60mph in 12 seconds. With the help of its 3-speed automatic transmission, it reaches a top speed of 115mph, effortlessly.
👌
The exquisitely built car is based on the Silver Shadow II with distinguished differences, such as; the formal roofline & smaller opera-style rear windows. During its short production period, only 2,135 examples were ever built, making this (near) 50 year old beauty…

2000 Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG 🚗💨 (W208) is a 5.4L naturally aspirated V8 sports coupe. It produces 342bhp & 510Nm of torque. From standstill it takes 5 seconds to reach 60mph via its rear wheeled powered, 5-speed ZF automatic gearbox. With double the amount of spark plugs than a “normal” V8, it went on to reach a top speed of 155mph.
👌
At the turn of the century AMG stayed true to it heritage, by paring its hand-built engine with classic AMG monoblock 5-spoke alloy wheels, tucked neatly under the wider wheel arches, on lowered suspension. Just over 3300 Mercedes -Benz CLK55 AMG’s were produced globally over a 3 year period, making such examples a rare modern classic, since production stopped in 2002. With an “understated sleeper” tag the CLK55 AMG will always be…

1985 Porsche 911 Carrera 🚗💨 is an air-cooled 3.2L flat-six, rear engined sports car. The rear-wheel drive car has 192 lb-ft of torque & 231bhp, which helps it get from standstill to 60mph in less than 6 seconds. Top speed is just over 150mph, without the help of traction control.
👌
Power steering, wasn’t on offer for the driver so a high level of handling skill was required at every corner & with every gear change, via the 5-speed manual transaxle. Bigger brakes (from the 911 Turbo) were standard to compensate for no ABS. This example is a true collectors car, due to leaving an indelible mark in the automotive world, making it…

1979 Lincoln Continental 🚗💨 (Givenchy Edition) is a 6.6L V8 ultra-luxurious coupe. It was created as part of Lincoln’s designer series (being the second rarest of the 5 chosen design houses). The 159bhp engine produced 315lb-ft of torque & managed to get from 0-60mph in 14 seconds. A top speed of 107mph was achieved very smoothly with a “magic carpet” feeling, via a 3-speed automatic gearbox.
👌
Distinctive touches were included as standard from the french fashion house, such as the external blue (body & vinyl roof) paint, bonnet & spare wheel cover. The interior was also unique, as there is a Cartier clock (next to the speedometer) & blue leather throughout, with Givenchy logos in each headrest & the opera-styled windows. Existing drivable examples like this one, are very rare especially outside of America.
