Austin A40 Farina 1964

The Austin A40 launched in 1947, with several different models coming to market over the following years. But, perhaps one of the best known variants was the A40 Farina debuting in 1958. As is stated by the name, this, A40 was the result of a remodelling by Italian designer Battista Farina. It remained in production until 1967, with a few variations. The mk2 (1961) had a slightly longer wheelbase, but was also given a larger engine in 1962. It was the same 1098cc A-series I4 fitted to the (contemporaneous) Morris Minor and Austin/Morris 1100 series (ADO16). This mk2 A40 Farina was registered in June 1964.

Austin Cambridge A60 1964

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.

Austin Healey 3000 MkIII 1964

This beautiful Austin-Healey 3000 BJ8 was originally built as a left-hand-drive model and exported to the USA. But it's been back in the UK for a while now, converted to right-hand-drive and restored in its original Colorado red. 2912cc. Fantastic car!

Bond Equipe GT 2+2 1964

An early example of the Bond Equipe GT, produced in Preston, Lancashire. This little-known sports car is superbly stylish, and a fine example of 1960s British design. This was the first version with only 444 vehicles produced between 1963 and 1964. Based on the Triumph Herald chassis, and using a number of Triumph components, the body is actually fibreglass. Fitted with a 1147cc petrol engine. This one was registered in January 1964. Read more about the Bond Equipe here.

Bond Equipe GT 2+2 1964

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!

Fiat 500D Trasformabile 1964

The Fiat 500 launched in 1957 and production continued right through to 1975. A true epitome of Italian design. It's small, for sure, but if you've ever tried to navigate (let alone park) the narrow streets of an Italian town, you'll know why. This car was first registered in the UK in January 1964, and although badged 'Nuova 500' is more specifically designated 500D Trasformabile - in acknowledgement to the full length sunroof (shorter on the regular 500D). This is a beautiful example, in Fiat's verde oasi green finish. Note the chrome bonnet, door and body stripes.

Morris Mini Minor 1964

Porsche 356 C 1964

Porsche 356 production ran from 1948 through to 1965, with the C variant only built in 1964 and 1965. Actually 1964 was the peak year for Porsche 356 production, with 14151 356Cs built that year. The 356 was replaced by the Porsche 911 (although there was some crossover, with both models available in 1964/65), and then the Porsche 912. This example is one of the last 356s registered in the UK in September 1964, and is fitted with a 1.6 L type 616/15 B4 engine. Very cool car indeed!

Porsche 356 C cabriolet 1964

Fantastic 1964 Porsche 356 C - available as a coupé, or, as seen here, a cabriolet. This classic Porsche is one of over 14000 C variant 356s shipped in 1964. And it looks pretty fine in its dark Ruby Red! Originally registered in September 1964, though this left hand drive car clearly didn't start out in the UK.

Porsche 356 SC 1964

The Porsche 356 SC was very similar to the 356 C, though with a more powerful 1.6 L (1582cc) type 616/16 B4 95hp engine. Like the Porsche 356 C it was only in production between 1964 and 65, though they still managed to build 14151 356 Cs in 1964 alone. This one was registered in November 1964.

Volkswagen Camper Van T1 1964

Beautifully restored VW T1 Transporter / pop up Camper - split windscreen (as was the case with all vans produced before 1967) and looking sharp!
