Came across this charming little Triumph Herald in Northallerton a few days ago and had a nice chat with the current owner. It has less than 50,000 miles on the clock, but neither of us think that's the genuine mileage given its age. It's also had a professional respray at some point over the years, but as the owner himself pointed out it's starting to go a little bit off here and there. Still, overall this car was a beauty and a rare thing indeed given it was manufactured over 50 years ago. That said, it is actually 1 of 3 that I currently know of in the town, which is quite weird really all things considered.

I just love these old Austins ... I always think they look so comical, like they belong in a cartoon!

Detail shot of that gorgeous Beetle from earlier!

The standard of finish and attention to detail on this old ragtop, as seen at CumbriaVAG 2011 ,was exceptional.

The Vauxhall Cresta was first introduced in 1954 by Vauxhall Motors as an upmarket version of the Vauxhall Velox (itself a six-cylinder version of the Vauxhall Wyvern). The PA Cresta is probably the most well-known version. It mimicked the American fashion for giant tail fins, wrap-around windows and white-wall tyres but in a somewhat understated way compared to the Cadillac and Buick models of the time.

How's this for a fabulous old workhorse ... over 50 years of age and still going strong!

If the E-Type is a bit too racy for you, then how about this rather more sedate 3.4 Litre MkII, also from the Sixties?

The Daimler SP250 was built by British manufacturer Daimler in Coventry from 1959 to 1964 and has a fibre glass body. The SP250 was originally known as the Daimler Dart, however Daimler were soon forced to drop the Dart name when threatened with legal action by Chrysler’s Dodge division, and the car was then renamed the Daimler SP250.

Funny how there are some cars you never tire of seeing or for that matter shooting ... this, for me at least, is one of those cars!

Until I came across this fine and, I'm guessing, quite rare example I'd never heard of Auto Union. However, having had a look on the internet, well wikipedia to be precise, I learned that Auto Union was actually an amalgamation of four German car manufacturers, founded in 1932 and which has evolved into present day Audi, as a subsidiary of Volkswagen Group.

Maybe not as striking as the '59, but still a beautiful looking car.

Looks standard from a distance, but those rear wheels tell a different story!
