1964 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 – Exterior and Interior – Retro Classics Stuttgart 2022

admin
When Jaguar replaced the 3.8-liter engine with a 4.2-liter unit, the Jaguar E-Type gained torque, drivability, and refinement without altering its iconic silhouette. The evolution was mechanical, not visual. Technical Details: The 1964 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Series 1 was powered by a 4.2-liter dual overhead camshaft (DOHC) inline six-cylinder engine, replacing the earlier 3.8-liter unit. […]

1962-1980 MGB Roadster – Exterior and Interior – Retro Classics Stuttgart 2022

admin
Longevity is rarely accidental in the sports car world. When the MGB Roadster entered production in 1962, few would have predicted an 18-year lifespan with only evolutionary changes. Yet the MGB endured because it quietly matched everyday usability with traditional sports car appeal—an equation that proved remarkably resilient. Technical Details: The MGB Roadster was powered […]

1970 MGB GT – Exterior and Interior – Retro Classics Stuttgart 2022

The MGB GT answered that demand quietly, offering a closed-roof alternative that blended sportiness with real-world usefulness. Technical Details: The 1970 […]

1963 Jaguar E-Type – Exterior and Interior – Retro Classics Stuttgart 2022

admin
By 1963, the excitement surrounding the E-Type had settled into something more durable: recognition. Two years after its debut, the Jaguar E-Type was no longer a sensation—it was a reference point. Competitors measured themselves against it; buyers expected nothing less than excellence. Technical Details: The 1963 Jaguar E-Type was powered by the 3.8-liter dual overhead […]

1969 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 – Retro Classics Stuttgart 2022

admin
By 1969, the Jaguar E-Type 4.2 had entered a transitional phase. The purity of the early Series 1 design was giving way to regulatory-driven revisions, yet the core engineering concept remained intact. The 1969 model year captures this moment precisely: a car still defined by its 4.2-litre straight-six and independent suspension, but increasingly shaped by […]

1938 -1939 Morris Eight Series II – Exterior and Interior – Oldtimer-Meeting Baden-Baden 2021

admin
By the late 1930s, Britain’s small-car market had become intensely competitive, leaving little room for experimental thinking. The Morris Eight Series II was shaped by this environment: not as a reinvention, but as a careful update intended to keep a proven formula relevant. Introduced in 1938, it reflected how incremental engineering and design changes could […]

1953 Sunbeam-Talbot Alpine – Exterior and Interior – Oldtimer-Meeting Baden-Baden 2021

admin
Before “Alpine” became a familiar badge on later British sports cars, it identified a hand-finished open tourer with strong rally credentials. The 1953 Sunbeam-Talbot Alpine was not conceived as a pure sports machine but as a fast and refined road car capable of competition success. Its blend of practicality and performance reflected early-1950s British motoring […]

1933 Rolls-Royce 20-25 HP – Oldtimer-Meeting Baden-Baden 2021

admin
Rolls-Royce’s reputation was cemented by the 40/50 hp Silver Ghost, produced from 1906 to 1925 and celebrated for its quality and reliability rather than sporting ambition. This philosophy carried forward into later luxury models. By the 1920s, Rolls-Royce introduced new flagship vehicles such as the Phantom I, II, and III. These cars featured large-displacement six-cylinder […]

1953 Jaguar XK 120 OTS – Oldtimer-Meeting Baden-Baden 2021

admin
120 miles per hour: printed in the name and tested on open roads. When the Jaguar XK 120 was introduced, its claimed top speed immediately became its defining statement. By 1953, the Open Two Seater (OTS) version had already established itself as one of the fastest production sports cars in the world. Technical Details: The […]

1933 Rolls-Royce 20-25 – Oldtimer-Meeting Baden-Baden 2021

admin
No discussion of Rolls-Royce design is complete without the story of the Spirit of Ecstasy. Since 1911, this radiator mascot has adorned nearly every Rolls-Royce. Officially named the Spirit of Ecstasy, it is also known as the Silver Lady, Flying Lady, or simply “Emily.” Technical Details: The Rolls-Royce 20-25 belongs to a generation of British […]

1953 Jaguar MK VII – Auto Zürich Classic Car Show 2021

admin
A large four-door saloon winning international rallies was not the norm in 1953. Yet the Jaguar Mk VII combined polished wood interiors with genuine performance credentials, challenging assumptions about what a luxury sedan could accomplish. It was as capable on a competitive stage as it was in formal settings. Technical Details: The 1953 Jaguar Mk […]

1933 Morgan 3-Wheeler Super Sports – Exterior and Interior – Auto Zürich Classic Car Show 2021

admin
In early-1930s Britain, performance was not always a matter of horsepower or cylinder count. The 1933 Morgan 3-Wheeler Super Sports approached speed from a different direction, relying on light weight, mechanical simplicity, and an unconventional layout. It was a vehicle shaped as much by taxation rules and racing culture as by engineering theory, and it […]

1954 MG TD Mk II – Exterior and Interior – Classic Expo Salzburg 2021

admin
By 1954, MG was no longer simply reviving pre-war traditions—it was refining them. The MG TD Mk II introduced discreet but meaningful upgrades that sharpened handling and performance without altering the familiar roadster formula.

1961 Jaguar E-Type Flatfloor Coupe – Exterior and Interior – Classic Expo Salzburg 2021

admin
You can identify the earliest 1961 Jaguar E-Type Fixed Head Coupés according to several features: Flat floors. External bonnet latches. Welded hood louvers.

Technical Details: The 1961 Jaguar E-Type Flat Floor Coupé was […]

1966 Jaguar E-Type Serie 1 Cabrio – Exterior and Interior – Classic Expo Salzburg 2021

1935 Alvis Silver Eagle Special – Exterior and Interior – Classic Expo Salzburg 2021

admin
Not all pre-war performance cars were conceived as finished products. The 1935 Alvis Silver Eagle Special belongs to a category defined as much by owner involvement as by factory intent, reflecting an era when sporting motorists frequently reworked standard models into lighter, faster machines. Built around Alvis’s technically advanced foundations, the Silver Eagle Special illustrates […]

1971 Jaguar XJ6 4.2l – Classic Expo Salzburg 2021

admin
In 1971, Jaguar’s most important car was not a sports car. The Jaguar XJ6 4.2 had quietly become the backbone of the brand, combining six-cylinder performance with limousine-level comfort. It was a saloon designed to redefine expectations in the executive class—less flamboyant than an E-Type, but arguably more influential. Technical Details: The 1971 Jaguar XJ6 […]
