Two wheels? Four Wheels? Sixteen? This site is for them all. We love classic cars. Immaculate restorations? sure.. but the essence of a machine is worn into it's finish, it's missing or replaced parts.. patina. We like perfect.. but we also like soul. There is something special about classic cars: about their curves, their highly unique (but less-than aerodynamic) body styles, and the comforting rumble and aroma emitted by a 20th Century engine. Do you own a vintage auto? Or perhaps you just love the retro style of yesteryear. Welcome to retrowheels.cool!
Outrageous first generation pink Cadillac Coup De Ville first registered in January 1959. 6500cc Cadillac OHV V8 engine.
The Rover 90, part of the P4 series, was only produced for five years in the mid-late 1950s.. the presence (although missing!) of side lamps and indicators show that this example comes from the second half of the decade. This wheel-less example, first registered in October '57, is sitting on an old World War II airforce bomb trolley.
1985 Citroen Visa Special. The Citroen Visa was manufactured between 1978 and 1988, with a number of different engines, ranging from just 652cc (as is the case here) up to a 1,769cc XUD7 diesel I4. This one is a 5-door hatchback, first registered in August 1985.
The Triumph Vitesse mk2 was introduced in late 1968. This example, with 2 litre (1998cc) engine was registered in April 1970. Great looking car!
This 1960 Land Rover has had significant modification in it's six decades of life.
The Triumph Stag was manufactured between 1970 and 1977, with 25,939 Stags completed. There were some minor changes over the course of production, and this example, being registered in April 1976 can be considered a late mark II Stag. Great looking convertible, in white, with Tobacco brown upholstery. 2997cc petrol engine.
Very cool light yellow Fiat 500L, in pretty tidy condition. The Italian "peoples car". Most 500L (L stands for 'Lusso' (luxury) were produced between 1967 and 1971, though they remained on sale into 1972. This will be one of the last examples made/sold.
Lovely old bay window VW Transporter basking in the Prague sunshine
The Consul Capri was a two door coupé version of the Ford Consul Classic. It was available from late 1961 (export only) and from early 1962 for the UK market. Production was short, ending in mid-1964, with somrthing over 19,000 built in this time. Bodies were made by Pressed Steel, and assembled at the Ford plant in Dagenham (later Halewood), initially with a 1340cc engine (though this car has been upgraded to 1500cc). This is a fairly early example, registered in May 1962 - but it's a great looking car in lovely condition!
British Triumph Herald production ran from 1959 until 1971, though manufacture of the saloon version of the Herald 13/60 ceased in December 1970. This example, in Triumph's Valencia Blue, was registered in July 1971, and must have been one of the very last 13/60 saloons completed. The 13/60 has a larger (1296cc) engine than earlier Triumph Herald variants. Very cool car!
1984 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 (3164cc), registered June 1984. Great looking coupé. The Carrera name had not been in use since the Carrera 3.0 of 1978.
Cool old series I Land Rover first registered in September 1955.
1978 Mercedes 350SL two-door convertible. The 350SL (3499cc V8) was built between 1971 and 1980. This one was registered in February 1978
Very nice early (series 1) E-type Jaguar. At this time only two seater E-types were in production (a 2+2 version was added in 1966): an Open Two Seater (OTS) and (as seen here) a Fixed Head Coupé (FHC). Check out some OTS E-types, also in Jaguar's Silver Blue here and here. This example has the earlier 3781cc engine, and was registered in June 1962.
Very nice old American motor - Buick Invicta, only produced between 1959 and 1963 - this one is a four door hardtop - although two door and convertible cars were also produced.
The Vauxhall Cresta was available between 1954 to 1972 but the name was attached to four distinct and very different car designs. This is the Vauxhall Cresta PA - manufactured between 1957 and 1962 with 81,841 made. And what a cool car! Perhaps it doesn't look British: the tail-fins, and wrap-around windows are totally American - but it was actually built in Luton, England. Two tone Maroon/Grey finish, with leather seats. "Cresta - the most luxurious Vauxhall" as early promotional material states. Looks pretty good inside too. This one was registered in April 1961. 2651cc ohv I6 engine.
Jaguar produced around 25,000 S-Types in between 1963 and 1968. This one is in Signal Red.
