The Magnette ZA, seen in the background, cost £915 when launched in 1952 and unleashed an outcry among M.G. enthusiasts. The re-use of the glorious Magnette name on a family saloon with Wolseley bodywork, an Austin engine and a dummy radiator was not the sort of thing they had come to expect from M.G. Nonetheless, the M.G. is no Wolseley copy. In order to emphasise the sporty character of the M.G. in contrast to the sedate but luxurious Wolseley the bodwork was made two inches lower, which not only looks more sporty but assures better handling. The TC Midget on the other hand, seen in the foreground was the first postwar MG and launched in 1945. It was exported to the United States, even though only ever built in right-hand drive. The export version had slightly smaller US specification sealed-beam headlights and larger twin rear lights, as well as turn signals and chrome-plated front and rear bumpers. It only cost £527 on the home market in 1947 ... try getting one for that today!

I might have said before that I'm not a huge fan of the MG and its various forms, but I did like this one ... maybe because it was red!

Simply stunning!

The Ferrari 250 GTO is a GT car which was produced by Ferrari from 1962 to 1964. They're rare, with supposedly only 36 GTOs ever built, and a 1963 example was recently sold for a cool $52million (£32m), making it at the time the most expensive car on the planet. However, like the F355 Berlinetta which also appears in this album the car is not what it appears to be. This one is actually based around a 1991 Porsche 944 S2 so maybe you could get it for slightly less than £32m. This is one of three shots of the car in the album.

Always a joy when you find a nice car in a quiet spot where you can (hopefully) take a decent photo, as was the case with this E-Type Jaguar.

Lovely old British sports car .... just a shame about the plastic fencing and that awful tape in the background!

I don't normally blank out registration numbers, but I have with this as I thought you might like to try and guess what type/model of car this is? There are another two photos of this vehicle in the set. UPDATE: It is a 1989 Citroën 2CV 6 Special

We're off again and this time back to the York Historic Vehicle Group Rally in 2011. First out the blocks, this lovely Gilbern. Component, kit or replica car ... I'll let you decide!

A late entrant in the "Which Healey For You" competition! Apologies for the sun flare ... I just couldn't get a shot without it.

Tucked away from the main show area was this little beauty!

Simply gorgeous, just wish I'd gone back and got an overall shot of this one.

Stunning!
