"The MGA Mk II was the last of the MGA series; assembly started in April 1961 and ceased in June 1962 with a total production of 8,719 units in both roadster and fixed head coupe configuration. Visually, the Mk II was distinguishable from previous MGA models by various body detail changes. The vertical bars in the front grille assembly were recessed at the bottom, adding much depth to the grille, and a new taillight cluster, borrowed from the Mini, was fitted to comply with new lighting regulations. The most noteworthy change was the installation of BMC's 1,622-cc inline 4-cylinder engine. This cast iron-block engine offered an increase in horsepower of 13% over previous MGA models, as well as a 12% gain in torque. All this was achieved by a displacement increase of only 34 cc. The MGA's restoration was completed only a short time ago, and accordingly, it has logged only break-in miles. This 1962 MGA MK II represents one of the most desired and sought after MGA models, as it was one of the last cars made in 1962. This car is ready for street use and/or show!"
"This car was the idea of Alan Selborne who wanted to market a Delahaye which was a cross between a racing car and a road car. He asked Guy Jason Henry to design and build a car along these lines for him and the I35 chassis was delivered to Guy's workshop in 1949. The design for this car was conceived before the war but was not completed until 1950! The engine is similar to those installed in the factory 135MS race cars and is fitted with triple Solex siamese carburetors. The body is lightweight aluminum alloy. Selborne wanted to build another two seater prototype but no others are known to be constructed. After completion the car was exhibited on the Delahaye stand at the Earls Court Motor Show before going to its first owner Alex Korda, a famous Hollywood producer. English actor Hubert Reese purchased the car in the late 1950's. Carlton Coolidge purchased the car in 1972 and Delahaye expert Richard Adatto owned the car from 1979 until 2001. The car was
restored by Richard Adatto in 1980 before he raced it on many different vintage circuits with great success. The car was also shown at the Pebble Beach Concours in 1982 where it placed second in the Delahaye class. This car was cosmetically freshened up recently before completing the Colorado Grand flawlessly (1,000 miles). The engine, transmission, body and chassis are all original. The car has been successfully vintage raced in Monterey in 1981 and 1982 where the car took a second and a fourth place."

"Powered by the original 400 4-barrel engine with a 4-speed, center console, Rally I wheels and red line tires. The car still retains its original paint and is so nice. It looks restored. The chrome and stainless are also perfect. The interior is impeccable and pristine. The undercarriage has been detailed and is spotless. It has a new Gardner exhaust system, the original ball joints, and 4 original dated spiral shocks. The trunk is 100% original, un-restored and perfect. The spatter paint is flawless, along with the original mat, jack, tools and original red line spare. Everything works on this car including the windshield wiper squirters, all lights and gauges, and even the optional reverb radio. This car has all the PHS documentation and owner's manual, the original dealer invoice, copy of the cancelled check, 1976 dated title when owner transferred the title from his father's name for insurance purposes, and a signed affidavit from the original owner telling the story of the car from brand new. This car was just Concours Gold Certified at the 2008 GTO nationals losing only 15 points. Judging sheets, certificate and award go with the car. An original car of this caliber is so hard to find and they are very rarely available for sale. Please take the time to look at this car and truly appreciate how nice it really is. The engine was re-painted once; the original dated spark plug wires and fan belt go with the car. This car drives better than a new car."

"Built by noted customizer Rick Dore and featured on the cover of Rod and Custom magazine.
This 1950 Cadillac is a recent creation of Rick Dore and certainly one of his finest. Free of many of the clichés of modern customs, this car is pure and elegant. No billet aluminum or Corvette drive trains, this car keeps true to its tradition and the result is stunning. The 1950 Cadillac has been lengthened and converted into a roadster. The three position top is reminiscent of custom Derham coachwork. The tail lights and tonneau cover are all hand fabricated. The look is more concept car than custom. Thankfully the car has been left with its stock drive train and rolls on Cadillac spoked wire wheels. Everything done to the car is respectful of the original Cadillac that he began with, an automotive icon itself. The automotive community has rewarded Dore's latest creation with the highest respect, including the coveted cover car position on Rod and Custom magazine with a six page spread inside. The Caddy has been featured on four magazine covers since its completion both here and abroad and it has dominated the competition and show circuit. In addition to being a striking and sophisticated custom it remains a usable car. Fitted with air bag suspension, the ride can be adjusted for comfortable road use. The superb Cadillac drivetrain is unmodified and should prove powerful and reliable. There are no heavy mechanical modifications that would make this car temperamental and difficult. This is truly one of the most striking customs we have seen and one that appeals to a different sensibility. A study of the design and its influences and inspiration are apparent. This is a car that could be at home in any collection of fine American or European classics."

"This beautifully restored Ermine White Corvette Convertible was the last of the straight axle cars and the last to have a rear trunk until 1998. It was the first year for the 327 engine, coves painted to match the body color without cove trim, and the last year for exposed headlights until 2005. This Corvette is equipped with a 340 horsepower engine, 4-speed manual transmission and soft top only. Corvettes are still Americas Favorite sports car!"
