1968 MG Midget 1275 - Sound older restored car - but clean with great shut lines & strong mechanicals - On wire wheels & with good history - Listed here because it both looks & sounds right - No doubt boundless fun - For sale with a dealer and very fairly priced at £6,995 - You couldn't correctly restore one for anywhere close to this money

I know someone who would absolutely love that...

Although I know from past experience that 70's Jaguars can empty your wallet almost as fast as they empty their fuel tanks, part of me still really want's to buy this -

Providing the floor pans / subframes are good it would make quite a viable restoration - could be mechanically refreshed and run as is - or tidied up cosmetically - either way it would make a nice cruiser at sensible money

1970 Morris 1800 Auto - Very clean & solid car - requires carpets & seats refitting to complete the interior - brakes require attention but these are not rocket science or expensive to sort - Nicely presented car which is now quite rare offered at very realistic price £3,695

I'm not into the whole VW scene but I do like a Scirocco and a Corrado. That looks a really nice updated example.

1966 Toyota Corona RT40 - Very rare early Corona with column shift automatic - Runs, drives and looks very sound - would benefit from some minor works - something very different and fairly priced at £3,500

Ermm no. My mistake it is a 1949. Still quite stunning looking though. (I've corrected the date on my post)
