The Last MGB Works Rally Car
This is the last official MGB Works rally car, though I have to admit that I never knew the MGB factory went rallying.
Cisitalia 202 SMM Spider Nuvolari
The Cisitalia 202 SMM Spider Nuvolari is an unusual motorcar, I’d never seen or even heard of the model before stumbling across it last week and I suspect that it’ll be new to many of you as well.

1959 Lister-Chevrolet
The 1959 Lister-Chevrolet is one of those remarkable historical curiosities that most of us have never heard of, the eye-catching design was the work of Frank Costin, a man who is almost certainly the most underrated automotive designer of the last century.
