The Porscche Strosek 928 makes you wonder about the meaning of the word ‘classic’. The word ‘timeless’ gets pretty close. After all, a classic car is appreciated at all times: both when it was new, and when it is old.

The Porsche 928 is such a car, for instance.

It was revolutionary at its

What is it with Jaguar XK120’s that makes people forget about them? Here’s a barnfind Jaguar that spent the last 25 years in a garage, covered in junk.

This sad, neglected remainder of a car was once a proud, blue Jaguar XK120 Fixed Head Coupe.

It was delivered new in 1952 to some unknown person

The romantic concept of a barnfind is that it’s an old car, completely original, that was put away in a shed many decades ago and forgotten. But that is not always the case, as this Australia barnfind shows.

But that is really the case with here. This 1951 Jaguar XK120 has been in a barn

Yes, yes and yes. This is quite a find. A fully original, Spanish built Alfa Romeo van from 1960.

Fadisa was a company in Spain that manufactured the Alfa Romeo vans under license in the 1960’s.

Production started in 1959, the first Fadisa/Alfa Romeo van had a two-stroke diesel-engine, but later on a Perkins engine

Go on, google it. You won’t find many of these 1935 MG PB Airline Coupes. This very rare example is part of Coys’ Monaco sale on May 11.

In the 1930’s the auto-industry discovered that streamlined cars could also be very beautiful.

So in America, Chrysler built their Airflow and in France Figoni & Falaschi

It is old, it is battered and maybe one or two bits are missing. But this is your chance to own a piece of Ferrari history.

Mind you, it is not exactly brand new. Not even ‘as good as new’. It is about 60 years old. Clearly, it has been used several times. And

Cars like this Nissan Skyline don’t come about very often. At least not in Europe. This 1986 R31 hardtop is probably the only one in the UK.

The Japanese brands have produced some great sports cars, but they also managed to build several really fast saloon cars.

This is one of them. This hardtop fourdoor

You don’t see many Mustangs like this. It’s a California Special, a limited edition version for the western USA-market, that was built only in 1968. Oh, and Shelby had something to do with it.

Sure, in 1964 the Ford Mustang was unique, it was one-of-a-kind. It even created a class of its own: the pony-cars.
