Back in the late 1960s, one of the more prominent names in the fledgling Japanese car industry told the world it was about to build a sports car. Not only that, but a sports car that would take on the Europeans and the Americans and beat them at their own game. And my, how we laughed... -

The MoT Files: Exemption for pre-1960s cars. Do the numbers stack up? 22 May 2012 (News)
Looking at it this way, the argument for keeping the test on pre-1960 cars seems about as strong as that for introducing the test on two year old cars. But - and this is a big one - is that you could argue that without the MoT test there could be almost 10,000 unroadworthy cars on the road. -
Plenty of Precedents at Top Car Today 14 Feb 2005 (News)
Interestingly there was another in the carpark with ‘For Sale’ stickers in its windows, just like a £400 Astra parked on a grass verge near the local chip shop. Hardly the way to merchandise a Bentley, old chap. The Navigator and the Bentley were trader’s cars, looking for an opportunity. The Black Horse cars were entered by a finance house looking to get its money back. The two Aston Martin Vanquishes in this part of the sale were both sold, so you can take it as read that the prices they fetched were what the trade was prepared to pay. -

Acquired from a museum in Kansas and imported into the UK a number of years ago, the car’s recorded mileage of 40,250 was believed correct. It seemed exceptionally good value for its new owner at £3,900.

Was 1959 the greatest British motor show? 10 Nov 2014 (News)
When Ford launched the 105E the old Anglia 100E was stripped of its luxuries and rebadged as the Popular. It’s lines were pure 1953, its side valve engine was best described as ‘venerable’ and the level of trim was miserable even by 1959 economy car standards (the base model had an interior light on the optional extras list) but it was ‘a real car’. -
