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 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.

The Morris Minor, designed by Alec Issigonis, was first produced in 1948, with manufacture spanning 23 years until 1971. In this time there were several variations, with the best known, the Morris Minor 1000 (with its 948cc engine) appearing in 1956. There were subtle updates over the course of production, but very little beyond the mid 1960s. This late example was registered in June 1970, but is effectively the same as one hailing from 1965.

Now this is a car!1974 Alfa Romeo 1600 Junior Z (1570cc), first registered in April 1974. The Alfa Romeo Junior Z was a limited production two-seater coupé that evolved from the Giulia Spider (Tipo 105) and was first shown in 1969. The superbly aerodynamic design was the work of Ercole Spada at Zagato (hence Junior Z) of Milan, who had a long history of working with Alfa Romeo. In 1972 the car was revamped: now longer (Tipo 115) with a bigger 1570cc engine capacity. In total 402 Alfa Romeo 1600 Junior Z's were completed between 1972 and 1973 (although they were still shipping as late as 1975). It is a fantastic looking car, ahead of its time no doubt, and capable of a respectable top speed of 118 mph. Very very cool!
1967 Triumph Vitesse. The Triumph Vitesse was produced between 1962 and 1971, available as a 2-door saloon, and 3-door estate, and (as shown here) a 2-door convertible. This one was registered in January 1967. The engine has been upgraded to a 2997cc Stag V8 - hence the modified Vitesse 8 badging on the rear. Very cool classic Triumph.

A lovely example of a Bond Equipe GT 2+2, registered in May of 1964. This is, of course, the earliest incarnation of the Equipe, only produced between April 1963 and September 1964, when it was replaced by the GT 4S. Designed by Lawrie Bond, it was built with a fibreglass body shell, over a Triumph Herald chassis, and an 1147cc Triumph Spitfire Engine and gearbox. This gave it a top speed of 90mph, with a 0-60 acceleration of 17.6 seconds. What a car!

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!

The Dino 246 was the first car built by Ferrari in large (by Ferrari standards!) numbers, with a total of 2,295 246 GT coupés and 1,274 GTS targas produced between 1969 and 1974. This particular example was registered in the UK in September 1974 (series 3). Equipped with a 2.4L Dino 65° V6 engine it's pretty quick off the block, doing 0-50 mph in 5 1/2 seconds, with a top speed of 148mph. And it's a great looking car in turquoise green!
1960 Austin Healey 3000 mk1 BN7 with hardtop fitted. 2912cc. Cool car! Austin-Healey 3000 bodywork was built by Jensen, with final assembly at BMC's Abingdon plant (Oxfordshire), alongside various MG models. This race-ready example was photographed at the Silverstone Classics event in 2022.

1961 Triumph 3TA / Twenty One registered in July 1961. The 349cc Triumph Twenty One was in production between 1957 and 1966, and is easily distinguished by the large fairing over the back wheel.
A true Classic Car of the 1960s. The final version of the Austin Cambridge was in production from October 1961, right through to 1969. Like the other Austin Cambridge variants, it had an equivalent BMC sibling model in the Morris Oxford - though this remained in production slightly longer through to early 1971. The Austin Cambridge was replaced by a 1970s classic, the Austin Maxi. Although a diesel version was available, this is the 1622cc petrol model.
