Triumph was a well-known British sports car maker for decades. The cars were made by the Standard Motor Company of Coventry, and they offered enthusiastic buyers the typical British roadster experience of the wind in your hair and a pert little sports car to hustle around country roads. Naturally, Americans would get to experience these cars too, as evidenced by this 1962 Triumph TR3A that’s for sale right now. The car reportedly underwent a frame-off restoration in 2015, making it nice and fresh for its new owner to enjoy.
Wearing the iconic color called British Racing Green, this 1962 Triumph TR3A is a car that you’ll want to own and drive with every bit of your soul. It’s a deeply emotive thing, as it embodies the spirit of freedom. The car is a mere 151 inches long and 56 inches wide, making a compact hatchback seem gigantic in comparison. Moreover, its open-topped nature really brings you closer to the environment. Of course, there’s a tan convertible top and door uppers to deploy if the weather gets nasty, but these things are really just meant to keep you dry for long enough until you return to the safe confines of your garage. Then, you can park the car and admire its eager-eyed headlamps, wire wheels, and squat tail, all features that define a British roadster to a tee. The two-seat interior of this 1962 Triumph TR3A is said to be new, and provides two seats in a color hue called camel. The seats are leather upholstered, but pretty close together, so pick your passenger wisely. Then, we’ve got new carpeting and new headliner as well. There’s no radio, though, so a Bluetooth speaker is your best bet for music. Not that you’re likely to want music when driving this car with gusto; the mere experience of driving it, accompanied by the engine’s song is more than enough to entertain.
Powering this 1962 Triumph TR3A is a rebuilt 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine, driving the rear wheels through a rebuilt 4-speed manual transmission. Factory specs tell us that the engine makes 100 horsepower when new, which, in this car that weighs less than 2,100 pounds, is more than enough to excite. Front disc brakes and rear drum brakes provide more than enough stopping power, and the steering, while unassisted, uses a Bishop cam system for a suitably engaging experience.

Triumph was a brand of sports cars made by the Standard Motor Company of Britain. Renowned for their diminutive dimensions, perky engines and thrilling driving experience at relatively low speeds, British sports cars, particularly British roadsters from the fifties through the eighties, were a wonderful place for petrolheads to be. These cars were the very antithesis of America’s muscle cars, and proved that you could have a lot of fun without large, thirsty V8s and massive car bodies. The TR3 was one of Triumph’s best-sellers, and we’ve got a 1960 Triumph TR3A Convertible up for sale right now. The current owner tells us that it’s received a new facelift, making it ready to be your faithful weekend drive companion.

Triumph is one of those great British brands that was under British Leyland. Well-known for their TR series of sports cars, the TR7 was one of the last before the brand was shelved in 1984. Sporting a characteristic wedge shape, the TR7 was introduced to the public in 1974, and would sell until 1981. This particular car is a 1976 Triumph TR7 with 81,000 miles, and is reported to have all its maintenance up to date. Therefore, it’s an excellent classic car to buy and drive if you’re a fan of British sports cars, and enjoy a thrilling drive down your favorite winding road on the weekends.
What do you get when you imbue an Eighties car with Twenties (no not Twenty Twenties, but Nineteen Twenties) styling? That’s precisely what Excalibur aimed to do. This Milwaukee-based outfit was the work of Clifford Brooks Stevens, who initially designed the cars for Studebaker. Stevens subsequently formed a company to create them by himself. Sadly, the project wasn’t as successful as all involved would have expected, and after several failures, Excalibur folded in 1990. Of course, that hasn’t stopped others from creating replicas, such as this 1989 Excalibur Series V Replica. Built on a 1989 Mercury Grand Marquis GS chassis, this 17,688-mile automobile awaits its new owner in Williston, Vermont. It is often said that imitation is the best form of flattery, so the fact that someone built a replica of the Excalibur means that the car is worth checking out. If you’re the kind of person who lusts after the quirky and isn’t afraid to push the boundaries of what many consider a ‘classic’ or ‘modern classic’, why not buy this car and become its custodian?
The Chevy Nova, or Chevy II as it was also known, was the Bowtie’s contender in the compact car space between 1962 and 1979. It was quite a departure from Chevy’s other offerings that included full-size and midsize cars, plus sports, muscle and pony cars. Nevertheless, the Nova was a best-seller throughout much of the Sixties, since it represented affordable motoring for the masses who didn’t want a land yacht of epic proportions and eye-watering price. Now, the Nova is a great classic car, as well as a fine restomod platform. This particular 1966 Chevrolet Nova SS Restomod is a great example of the latter category, as it’s undergone a full restoration and has just 400 miles on its stonking new motor.
Being a manufacturer and making a statement in the ʼ80s was a tough task, as the automotive world was on full blast with cars making the move to more tech and a change in design to suit a massive shift in customer tastes and preferences. Mercedes-Benz in the 80s was peak German automotive and the secret to its success? Staying true to who they are and giving the world true luxury and superior engineering over marketing gimmicks. Present today is this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 420SEL, this German classic is a love letter to luxury cruising in style and has just a reported 140,316 miles on its clock.
