'The best car in the world!' That was precisely what the marketing campaign from Rolls-Royce said about the Silver Cloud III, certain no other model could touch it in terms of build, luxury and mechanical merit. And that was certainly the consensus among both the motoring press and the wealthy, often celebrity owners. In the days before supercars,...
"The Porsche 356 is always my answer to people who are looking for a car for vintage rallies that is fun to drive, well-built and reliable, and does not cost tons of money. If I were to go on any vintage rally, the 356 would be my personal choice 10 times out of 10. These cars are really that exceptional." A gleaming1956...
'Known as 'Twinkletoes' to his many Irish fans – 'on account of the white boots I always wore' – Brian Powley is one of the unsung heroes of UK and Irish motor rallying, as well as various successful European outings. 'I had a cult following in Ireland,' he says. 'The fun part of it was the element. If it became too serious I didn't want...
"One day, I will own a Ferrari" - almost every gearhead has said this to themselves at least once in their life, and rightly so. Thankfully, the used market has several Ferrari options that are far more affordable than people think. A Ferrari 612 Scaglietti at Beverly Hills Car Club makes...
'Little Red Corvette/Baby, you're much too fast. The immortal words of the magnificent Prince, on his breakthrough Top 10 American hit as long ago as 1983... Of course, Prince is not flagging up the engine power of his Chevrolet Corvette, as we hear when he sums up his thoughts a little later in the song: Girl, you got an ass like I never seen/...
'Today the throaty roar of the Triumph TR3, an absolutely classic roadster that evolved from the company's preceding TR2 model, seems like a clarion call from another age. Which of course it is: the English Triumph firm manufactured the mid-priced TR3 from October 1955 until 1962.
'Today the throaty roar of the Triumph...
'Precisely why was that stunning example of Italian craftsmanship known as the Ferrari 512 BBi Berlinetta Boxer so named? After all, Mauro Forghieri, the enormously accomplished engineer on the project, stated clearly that the beautifully constructed supercar did not have a Boxer engine. And that the car, which could hit 179mph, maybe should...
'The De Tomaso Mangusta is named after the mongoose, the small carnivorous animal that is the principal predator of the cobra snake.
And the use of 'mangusta' in the supercar's naming carries a dark-humored poetry.

'One of the truly great collectors' cars, a classic from the moment it was launched, the Ferrari 308 GTB was the replacement for the then already archetypal Dino 246 GT, which itself was an evolution of the Dino 206 GT, with a larger V6 engine and a wheelbase lengthened by 60 mm.
'One of the truly great collectors' cars,...
'What is astonishing about the Morgan Super Sport 3 Wheeler, built from 1932 to 1937, is how futuristic this vehicle appears even today. I'm looking at one right now, a stunning right-hand drive (they were only right-hand drive) 1934 Morgan Super Sport 3 Wheeler that we have just acquired at Beverly Hills Car Club. It comes in a gorgeous blue...
"Of all the cars that BMW has built since launching its own branded car in 1932, one of the most beautiful has been the E9 coupes. Built from 1968 through 1975, these stunning GT cars have all the style and elegance you could want, combined with strong performance and a winning reputation on the race track." A new 1974...
'Visitors to the south of France at the end of summer may well be acquainted with the mistral. Often described as the chilly wind that blows in from north Africa heralding the shift to fall, that is not actually the case.

"It’s reward enough to reach 100-years-old, but getting a classic Bentley luxury car for your centennial birthday present is icing on the proverbial cake. Especially when its one you used to drive."

'Although Aston Martins appeared in far fewer of the early Bond films than the myth suggests, the romantic existence of the fictional spy James Bond has been irrevocably associated with the Aston Martin motor-car. Ever since the appearance of Bond's gadget-packed Dubonnet Red DB5 in the Goldfinger movie, the Aston Martin car has been seen almost...
'The Jaguar XKE, the Jaguar XK150...Such defining pieces of automotive art. But of course they had a predecessor: the fabulous Jaguar XK120, manufactured from 1948 to 1954. It was the Jaguar XK120 that established Britain as a maker of great sports cars. By the time XK120 production stopped, a total of 12,064 had been sold, mostly in the United...
'In 1974 there were new times for the Porsche motor company: the Porsche 911 Turbo arrived, or the Porsche 930 Turbo, as it was more customarily known. For the US market, however this development, the Porsche 911 Turbo, was not officially marketed until 1976: hence in America this year, 2021, is the official 45th anniversary of the marketing...

'I love learning that one of my acquisitions at Beverly Hills Car Club has a fascinating back-story. Which is precisely what I have discovered about the fabulous 1957 Porsche 356A Speedster that we newly have for sale. It took a two flight journey to Lexington, South Carolina, to discover this. I always believe that everyone has their own...
'The Jaguar XKE is such an utterly unique car it is almost impossible not to feel reverent before it. So unique, in fact, is this car that they named it twice: in the UK, where they originally were manufactured, from 1961 to 1974, they are called Jaguar E-types, but in the USA they are known as Jaguar XKEs. As the Beverly Hills Car Club is in...
'I hear that in London in the 1970s and 1980s no car was considered more stylish and hip than the Mercedes-Benz 280SL, one of the three models in the W 113 model series; now legendary, this car has a more loyal fan base than any other Mercedes-Benz SL. On account of their slightly concave and very distinctive hardtop, designed by Paul Bracq...
'I vividly recall being at Pebble Beach for Car Week at the RM Auction. Sitting in front of the parking lot was a gorgeous gunmetal grey Lamborghini 400GT. The car looked like a piece of art that you'd not only want to drive but also put in your living-room as a piece of art. These Lamborghini 400GTs were so beautifully designed. As only 247...
"I had never associated a wicked sense of humour with President Lyndon Baines Johnson, who succeeded the assassinated Jack Kennedy in November 1963. But I was wrong. As the owner of one of the legendary Amphicars, he would certainly keep his friends on their toes. Driving his companions at his Johnson City, Texas, ranch in his 1961 model,...
"Alfa Romeo is a particular way of living, of experiencing an automobile. The real essence of Alfa defies description. It can be compared to those irrational movements of the spirit that sometimes occur in man, and for which there is no logical explanation. We are in the realm of sensations, passions, things that have more to do with the heart...
'Of all the vintage classic cars in existence, one that never fails to make me do a double-take is the Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster, an utterly beautiful piece of automotive engineering. To me, it is the unicorn of classics, the Navy Seal of vintage motor-cars. Unsurprisingly in 1999 the 300SL was voted 'sports car of the century'.The number...
''If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you’re gonna see some serious sh*t!' The immortal words of Dr Emmett Brown, played by the terrific Christopher Lloyd, to Michael J. Fox's Marty McFly in Back to the Future embody the entire premise of the time-travel classic and its employment of a DeLorean sports-car...
'When I lived in Australia, my Greek auntie had a 1967 Ford Mustang coupe 2-door hardtop. Even better, she had a pink 1967 Ford Mustang coupe. Both my parents drove classic Volvos – a 121 Amazon for my dad, and an 1800S for my mom – and so I had some understanding at a young age of how great such cars could be. But it was a combination of...
'There is often an interesting back-story to why people sell cars. All human life is there! For example, I bought a Porsche recently that was quite evidently in tremendous mechanical condition. But if that was the case, why was the paintwork faded and a bit scruffy? The Porsche in question was a 964, the Porsche 911 America Roadster, a limited...
'I've always loved Ferrari Testarossas, a car whose every attribute seems to suggest that it should really be called a Ferrari Testosterone, an unquestionably masculine car that looks even sexier when driven by a woman. The Ferrari Testarossa is something of an underrated gem: it has such an attractive design.
'I've always...
'What often fascinates me is what happens to cars that have been sold by my Beverly Hills Car Club dealership. I cannot deny experiencing an element of emotional attachment with many of the vehicles I buy and sell. And when they leave my premises it can feel like letting your own child out into the world, asking myself 'what will happen to them?'
'What...
'"It's really a late 1960s, early 1970s look that the De Tomaso Pantera had. The body design was from '71. It's an early, old supercar design. It looks like a James Bond car, like the Lotuses or Aston-Martins. With such great character, of a type that you don't see now.” That's the view of Brian of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, the guy who I've...
'People love what we have come to know as 'barn finds.' I think it's connected to that perpetual hope of somewhere finding a buried stash of pirate gold in a chest deep within the ground.

In 1931 he had won the Monte Carlo rally,...

'In the almost twenty years that I’ve been dealing in classic cars I’ve observed how the notion of such classic pieces of art is no longer as date-tied as formerly. 'What do I mean? Well, I’m simply describing the passing of time as well as quirks within public taste. For example, I have heard that once Jaguar XK-Es stopped...
'What a great week. Not every day you get a chance to successfully purchase a 1965 Porsche 356SC coupe, an end of an era Porsche model before it was phased out by the 912. 'It was a wonderful opportunity to find a West Coast car that has not changed many hands in its lifetime - the last owner had the vehicle for 46 years.

"My father taught me when I was a young boy, ‘why do tomorrow what you can do today?’ And I think that is really the takeaway from this year.

By Nicolas Zart of Car News Cafe One of the Ferraris that made the company very popular was certainly the 308 series.
