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!
1967 Triumph Vitesse. The Triumph Vitesse was produced between 1962 and 1971, available as a 2-door saloon, and 3-door estate, and (as shown here) a 2-door convertible. This one was registered in January 1967. The engine has been upgraded to a 2997cc Stag V8 - hence the modified Vitesse 8 badging on the rear. Very cool classic Triumph.

The 105-series Alfa Romeo Giulia had a long production run (1962-1978) with lots of variants in this time. This 2-door Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT coupé was first registered in November 1970. Nicely restored with much of the trim left off. Looks great! Note the quadrifoglio verde (green four-leaf clover) emblems. 1962 cc.
The Fiesta mk 1 was produced in the United Kingdom from 1976 at the Ford facility in Dagenham, Essex. This example, a three-door hatchback, was registered in August 1982, with a 1117cc petrol engine - though now somewhat souped-up with a larger 1988cc engine. Nice car.

Austin Healey 100 (2660cc) registered June 1955. Number 450. Ready to race at the Silverstone Classic 2022. Shown here besides this tasty 1960 Austin-Healy 3000 (#43).
The Hillman Imp is such a cool little car - Scotland's answer to the Mini. Famous for its 875cc aluminium engine, and cleverly designed to fit a lot of car into a small space. This example, registered in May 1970, is one of the 'Chrysler' Imps. (Chrysler bought out Hillman-manufacturer Rootes Group in 1967), or (unofficially) mk3 Imp. This 2-door saloon variant remained in production at the Linwood plant near Paisley right through to 1976. They sold 1/2 million Imps in 13 years of production!
The Rover 90, part of the P4 series, was only produced for five years in the mid-late 1950s.. the presence (although missing!) of side lamps and indicators show that this example comes from the second half of the decade. This wheel-less example, first registered in October '57, is sitting on an old World War II airforce bomb trolley.

Very cool old Bedford HA 130 van - based on the Vauxhall Viva. This M-reg example hails from 1973 (registered Oct '73) - the midpoint of the production period (1963-83).
1970 Austin 1300GT, built at Longbridge, Birmingham, and registered in April 1971.
A now increasingly-rare Ford Cortina MK IV - 2.0 litre GL in Oyster Gold finish. The Mark IV was produced at the UK's Dagenham plant between late 1976 and 1979. An equivalent European model, the Ford Taunus TC2 was launched on the continent in early 1976.

A nicely restored example of an early 1970s Beetle, currently residing in the sunshine of the island of Crete. The 1302 was a slightly larger Beetle, offering significant extra luggage capacity, but being only 2 inches greater in length. In the USA the 1302L was marketed as the Super Beetle.
The Triumph TR3 was produced between 1955 and 1962, with minor redesigns in 1957 (Triumph TR3A) and 1962 (Triumph TR3B) - though these names were never officially used. So this 1960 example is a second variant TR3, with larger front grille and exterior door handles. It's a beautiful looking car, with its sloping door profile and fantastic contrasting red leather interior. Powered by a 1991cc straight-four engine. Very cool indeed!
The Austin Allegro was manufactured at Longbridge, Birmingham between 1973 and 1982, with significant revisions in late 1975 and late 1979. available as a 2-door saloon, a 3-door estate, and as seen here a 4-door saloon. This one is in BL's Blaze red(?) with a black vinyl roof. A fine-looking combination! Registered in June 1975, this is one of the first 'series 2 ' Allegros. It is equipped with the larger 1.5L (1485cc) E-Series I4 engine, and certainly makes a statement. Pictured alongside a 1974 Austin 'series 1' Allegro - note the differing front grilles.

An absolute classic. The Volkswagen Beetle was first available in 1938, with over 21 million sold in the years that followed. Initially built in Wolfsburg, Germany, production expanded to sites in fourteen other countries worldwide. But the German-built examples of the 1960s and early 1970s are the best known, and most loved. This 1300cc example was first registered in April 1970.
Lovely mid-fifties two-door Austin A30 panel van, based on the Countryman estate. Only produced for two years (1954-56, though the gov.uk website suggests this is a '58!) - this one was built at Birmingham's Longbridge Plant. At home in the South of England. What a cool little van!
This beautiful Austin-Healey 3000 BJ8 was originally built as a left-hand-drive model and exported to the USA. But it's been back in the UK for a while now, converted to right-hand-drive and restored in its original Colorado red. 2912cc. Fantastic car!

Very nice old (early seventies) DS parked up in central Amsterdam, the Netherlands. There really is no better backdrop for these cars than the streets of continental Europe!
1975 Triumph Toledo. The Triumph Toledo was produced in the UK at the Canley plant between 1970 and 1976, as a two-door or, (as seen here) four door saloon. This example is one of the 113,294 1.3L (1296cc) Triumph Toledos built in this time. Registered March 1975.
$49900
Austin Allegro estate. The 3-door estate version of the Austin Allegro was launched in April 1975 - but this example is a second-series Allegro 2 built in 1977 and registered in January 1978. 1275cc (1.3L A-Series I4 engine).
