Hillman Minx 1967
Original ad from the 60's. Image taken from Mclellansautomotive.com
The car is quite funny, but the ad is just gorgeous. And, yes the car looks pretty reliable...almost 40 years old. Anyway, at Mclellansautomotive you can find lots of old brochures and ads. Here's another one of the Minx

Ford Capri MKI
Launched in 1969 somehow as the European counterpart to the very succesful Ford Mustang.
It´s silhouette and C shaped rear window make it unmistakable.
It was then adevertised as "The car you always promised yourself". ¶ 9:21 AM 1 comments

Ford Mustang GTA
I'm no expert in American cars, but I reckon this is probably the 1967 version. The A on GTA stands for Automatic. Quite a surprise to find this sort of car on a London Street. ¶ 11:02 AM 0 comments

Morris Oxford VI
Launched in 1961 was a restyling of the Oxford V.
As a BMC (the 1952 merger of Austin and Morris)the car had its twin, the Austin A60 Cambridge. Both having been designed by Pininfarina, like the beuatiful A40 Farina.
Apparently, the long tailfins (although smaller in the VI series than in the V) were a typical desing feature of those models ¶ 8:39 AM 1 comments

1951 Jaguar Mark VII
Amazing silhouette.
Apparently, this car had a 6 cylinder 160 hp motor that made it capable of exceeding 100mph. ¶ 8:23 AM 0 comments

MG BGT
Little, sporty hatchback. A close relative to the Midget. I guess this was one of the last to be produced. Probably late 70´s. ¶ 8:41 AM 0 comments

I don't know much about this car. It's a British car from the late fourties and it's just amazing. ¶ 1:20 PM 16 comments

Vanden Plas 1500
This blog was created for this sort of car. Never in my life have I seen or heard about this car.
Vanden Plas is an originally Belgian company that has worked throught the XX century together with many major car constructors (including Jaguar, Daimler, Rolls Royce to name a few). By the mid-seventies they created this luxury verison of the Austin Allegro.
One of the funniest cars I´ve seen in London. ¶ 3:40 AM 0 comments
