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!
Very tasty series 1 E-type Jaguar in Dark Blue. One of 7670 two-seater Fixed Head Coupés produced with the original 3.8L engine. Registered in May 1962.
Mk2 Ford Granada estate. The mark 2 was under production between 1977 and 1985 in Cologne, Germany. This example has a 2.8L V6 petrol engine.
Beautifully restored VW T1 Transporter / pop up Camper - split windscreen (as was the case with all vans produced before 1967) and looking sharp!
This cool four door 1981 Mercedes 200 has a fantastically stately look in dark blue with matching hubcaps. Seriously solemn, but a great looker none-the-less. The 2.0L (1997cc) Daimler Benz petrol engine gives a top speed of 104mph. Despite having the most basic specifications in the W123 range, the Mercedes 200 is a true modern classic. Built in Germany between 1976 and 1985. Great car!
A real piece of British motorcycle history. The Bantam was BSA's (Birmingham Small Arms Company) lightweight bike, with numerous models appearing between 1948 and 1971. The 125cc D1 was actually the first of the range, with production running between 1948 and 1963. The original finish for all D1s was mist green.
Now this is a stunner! Gorgeous Ford Escort mk1 RS2000 in orange/yellow two-tone rally finish. Certainly looks the part! This example was registered in March 1974, so one of the last Escort mark1s before the mark2 arrived later that year. 1993cc
A fine example of an early 1970s Citroen D Special - in Beige. Citroen had a wide array of colour options for the ID / DS models - have a look at early 70s Citroen colour charts here. There are four shades of beige alone!
1956 Chevrolet 3100 (5700cc registered January 1956). There were three main variants of the Chevrolet Advance Design light/medium pick-up truck, the 1/2 ton 3100; the 3/4 ton 3600 and the 1 ton 3800. The 3100 was in production between 1947 and 1957. And it's an absolute classic. Once the workhorse of rural America, now more likely a rock 'n' roll machine / hot rod / lowrider.
The Triumph TR6 was produced between September 1968 and July 1976. Unlike so many 1960s Triumph sports cars, the TR6 was not styled by Giovanni Michelotti, but Karmann of Osnabrück, Germany. This tasty example was registered in March 1974. 2498cc
1960s and 1970s Daimler cars were, to a greater or lesser extent, rebadged Jaguars, typically more highly appointed for a superior level of luxury. Initially these were equipped with a Daimler engine (for example the Daimler 250), but the Sovereign was all-Jaguar. The series 2 Daimler Sovereign, produced from 1973-79 was effectively an extra-flash Jaguar XJ6. But the car pictured here is a variant of the typical 4-door series 2 Sovereign saloon - a 2-door coupé with a 4.2L (4235cc) engine - only available 1975-78. This one was registered in September 1977. Fantastic looking car!
The Leyland van (Austin Morris) was first produced in 1974, before being named the Leyland Sherpa in 1975.This mid-seventies Sherpa has had a pop-up roof fitted, and a 1798cc petrol engine. Roll on the holidays!
1960 Austin-Healey 3000 (2912 cc), race-ready at Silverstone Classics event 2022. The Austin-Healey 3000 had a comparatively long production run spanning 1959-1967: this early example is a BN7 Mark1; built in November 1959, registered in 1960. Looking fab with its hardtop fitted. Absolutely lovely car! Shown here besides this 1955 Austin-Healey 100 with race number 450.
This gorgeous late eighties Lotus 'type 89' is a three door coupe with a 2174cc petrol engine giving a 160hp and a top speed of 134 mph. Available between 1982 and 1992. Wonderful fastback coupe!
Very cool 1978 Triumph Spitfire 1500 in Russet Brown. The Triumph Spitfire launched in 1962, with the final (of 5) main variants being the Spitfire 1500 appearing in late 1974. 1493 cc registered February 1979.
A much loved second version (bay window) T2 VW camper, no doubt with a lot of tales to tell. First registered November 1972. Soul...
