Cars like this one are becoming rarer and rarer, this 1953 Nash Ambassador Custom is in immaculate condition throughout and has only 26,106 miles from new.

Celluloid doesn’t get much better than this, The Italian Job is essential viewing for any self-respecting red blooded male. Featuring Michael Caine and Noel Coward the 1969 comic caper centres around a gold heist in Turin, Italy.

If the Ford Mustang I Prototype had seen the green light for production things would have turned out very differently.
