Two wheels? Four Wheels? Sixteen? This site is for them all. We love classic cars. Immaculate restorations? sure.. but the essence of a machine is worn into it's finish, it's missing or replaced parts.. patina. We like perfect.. but we also like soul. There is something special about classic cars: about their curves, their highly unique (but less-than aerodynamic) body styles, and the comforting rumble and aroma emitted by a 20th Century engine. Do you own a vintage auto? Or perhaps you just love the retro style of yesteryear. Welcome to retrowheels.cool!

Wow what a car! I parked up next to this in Cornwall, UK this summer - the Austrian registered vehicle perhaps touring the UK? And touring in style! The Austin-Healey 100 was only produced between 1953 and 1956, and this one is in stunning condition. The model gets it's name from it's ability to reach 100mph. Quite a feat in the 1950s!

Late eighties water-cooled T25 (T3, Vanagon) enjoying the Great British summertime
Gorgeous orange MGB GT 1798cc petrol engine. The GT was the coupe version of the MGB. This one was made in 1971 - the production period being 1965 to 1980. Blaze Orange. Fantastic looking car!
Now this is a car!1974 Alfa Romeo 1600 Junior Z (1570cc), first registered in April 1974. The Alfa Romeo Junior Z was a limited production two-seater coupé that evolved from the Giulia Spider (Tipo 105) and was first shown in 1969. The superbly aerodynamic design was the work of Ercole Spada at Zagato (hence Junior Z) of Milan, who had a long history of working with Alfa Romeo. In 1972 the car was revamped: now longer (Tipo 115) with a bigger 1570cc engine capacity. In total 402 Alfa Romeo 1600 Junior Z's were completed between 1972 and 1973 (although they were still shipping as late as 1975). It is a fantastic looking car, ahead of its time no doubt, and capable of a respectable top speed of 118 mph. Very very cool!

Very nice baywindow (T2) Westie bus, with suitably 70s colour scheme: sage green (L63H) and pastel white (L90D). The black and white front bumper, pop up top and chromed hubs with white wall tyres complete the look.
This is one badass T1 transporter.. what a looker! It's a D reg, half a century old, but probably never looked better.

The VW LT28 (2.8 ton) light panel van was produced between April 1975 and July 1991 - this Ivory Beige example from 1982 has a 1984 cc 14 cylinder engine.
Very tasty race-ready 1962 Triumph TR4 - seen here fitted with curved backlight rear window and removeable hard top kit. The TR4 replaced the TR3, and like its predecessor was designed by Giovanni Michelotti. This one has a bunch of racing modifications - compare this car to an unaltered TR4 here. 2098cc straight-four engine.

This early Land Rover recovery vehicle is slowly being subsumed by the field in which it resides
Great looking 1970 Triumph Vitesse mk2. This very nice example was registered in October 1970. The Vitesse was produced from 1962 until 1971, with the mk2 arriving in October 1968. But as early as 1966, the Triumph Vitesse was available with the same 1998cc Triumph I6 engine as the super sporty Triumph GT6. Like so many classic 1960s Triumph cars, the Vitesse was styled by legendary sports car designer Giovanni Michelotti, famous for his work for Ferrari, Lancia and Maserati.
This is 'Lola'. "The new driving force from Austin", or the Austin Allegro, was built from 1973 until early 1982, with revisions in late 1975 and late 1979. 642,350 vehicles were completed over the period. This example is a 1981 Austin Allegro 3, registered in September 1981. The Allegro was available with a 1.0L, 1.1L, 1.3L, 1.5L or 1.7L engine. This one has a 1.5L E-Series I4 engine (1485 cc) and is in Leyland's Vermillion (its orange whatever you call it!). But it's a nice-looking car!

1978 Vanden Plas 1500 (1485 cc). Registered October 1978.
Very striking Porsche Carrera 3.0. This particular 911 variant was only produced between 1976 and 1977, with just 3687 cars completed in this time. This left-hand drive example was first registered in January 1977. 3299cc

The wood (ash) framed estate version of the Morris Minor 1000 appeared in 1953, with an upgrade (including a larger engine size) in 1962. This example, first registered in September 1967, features the same larger (1098cc) engine as the Morris 1100 (and other ADO16 variants). Production took place over three BMC plants: Cowley (chassis), Coventry (bodywork) and Abingdon (final assembly).
The Fiat 500 launched in 1957 and production continued right through to 1975. A true epitome of Italian design. It's small, for sure, but if you've ever tried to navigate (let alone park) the narrow streets of an Italian town, you'll know why. This car was first registered in the UK in January 1964, and although badged 'Nuova 500' is more specifically designated 500D Trasformabile - in acknowledgement to the full length sunroof (shorter on the regular 500D). This is a beautiful example, in Fiat's verde oasi green finish. Note the chrome bonnet, door and body stripes.
