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!

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.
An early example of the Bond Equipe GT, produced in Preston, Lancashire. This little-known sports car is superbly stylish, and a fine example of 1960s British design. This was the first version with only 444 vehicles produced between 1963 and 1964. Based on the Triumph Herald chassis, and using a number of Triumph components, the body is actually fibreglass. Fitted with a 1147cc petrol engine. This one was registered in January 1964. Read more about the Bond Equipe here.
A lovely example of a Bond Equipe GT 2+2, registered in May of 1964. This is, of course, the earliest incarnation of the Equipe, only produced between April 1963 and September 1964, when it was replaced by the GT 4S. Designed by Lawrie Bond, it was built with a fibreglass body shell, over a Triumph Herald chassis, and an 1147cc Triumph Spitfire Engine and gearbox. This gave it a top speed of 90mph, with a 0-60 acceleration of 17.6 seconds. What a car!

The GT 4S was the second version of the Equipe, produced from September 1964 until January 1967. This example was registered in October 1965. The GT 4S had a number of improvements over the GT 2+2, such as an opening boot, and extra front lighting - though it had the same 1147cc Triumph Spitfire engine.
A very '80s' Buick, parked up in the streets of Prague, Czech Republic. Quite a contrast, both in size and styling, to the omnipresent Skoda. The Buick regal was available as a four door sedan, or, as seen here, a two-door coupe
Outrageous first generation pink Cadillac Coup De Ville first registered in January 1959. 6500cc Cadillac OHV V8 engine.
1968 Chevrolet Camaro 327. Two door coupé. 5.4L (5358 cc) = 327 cubic inches, hence Camaro 327. Absolute classic American muscle car. This example was registered in February 1968.
1972 Citroen SM 3.0 Automatique, looking fly in Citroen's Vert Argent. Now this is a stylish car, and a pretty rare one too. The Citroen SM was a high-performance 3-door hatchback / coupé that resulted from Citroen's purchase of Maserati in 1968. It effectively combined a number of Citroen innovations so popular in cars like the DS (e.g. hydro-pneumatic suspension, and swivelling headlamps) with a powerful a Maserati V6 engine - and all in a Grand Tourer body style. The Citroen SM had a relatively brief production period (between 1970 and 1975), with the vast majority built between 1971 and 1973. The model discontinued when Citroen went out of business (bought out by Peugeot) in 1975. In total 12,920 SMs were built, with 2400 shipped to the United States in 1972 and 1973. And this example is one of those American SMs. Originally left-hand drive, it was converted to right-hand drive in 1974 before being re-exported to Australia, and finally the UK in 2012. Of the 12,920 built, just 1,012 were configured with a 3-litre engine and automatic transmission.
1960s and 1970s Daimler cars were, to a greater or lesser extent, rebadged Jaguars, typically more highly appointed for a superior level of luxury. Initially these were equipped with a Daimler engine (for example the Daimler 250), but the Sovereign was all-Jaguar. The series 2 Daimler Sovereign, produced from 1973-79 was effectively an extra-flash Jaguar XJ6. But the car pictured here is a variant of the typical 4-door series 2 Sovereign saloon - a 2-door coupé with a 4.2L (4235cc) engine - only available 1975-78. This one was registered in September 1977. Fantastic looking car!
The Ferrari Dino 208 GT4 was a 2-door fixed-head coupé with 2+2 seat arrangement, based on the Ferrari 308, but with a smaller 2L (1,991cc) V8 engine. This was all thanks to mid-seventies Italian tax rules that heavily penalised higher capacity engines - and because the model was aimed primarily at the Italian market all 840 cars built were left-hand drive. Production ran from 1975 until 1980 at Ferrari's Maranello factory. And it's a great looking car - the body was designed by Bertone, and this example in Giallo Fly was registered in June 1976. Note the Ferrari branding on this car. Older examples (those completed before May 1976) were simply branded Dino.

The Dino 246 was the first car built by Ferrari in large (by Ferrari standards!) numbers, with a total of 2,295 246 GT coupés and 1,274 GTS targas produced between 1969 and 1974. This particular example was registered in the UK in September 1974 (series 3). Equipped with a 2.4L Dino 65° V6 engine it's pretty quick off the block, doing 0-50 mph in 5 1/2 seconds, with a top speed of 148mph. And it's a great looking car in turquoise green!
A very nicely cared for mk III Ford Capri 2.0 S sports coupe, with cool two tone green finish. The mk III debuted in 1978, and this vehicle was first registered in March 1979. 1993cc petrol engine
The Consul Capri was a two door coupé version of the Ford Consul Classic. It was available from late 1961 (export only) and from early 1962 for the UK market. Production was short, ending in mid-1964, with somrthing over 19,000 built in this time. Bodies were made by Pressed Steel, and assembled at the Ford plant in Dagenham (later Halewood), initially with a 1340cc engine (though this car has been upgraded to 1500cc). This is a fairly early example, registered in May 1962 - but it's a great looking car in lovely condition!
A first year Jaguar E-type (1961) fastback coupé in Silver Gray Metallic finish - fitted with the 3.8-litre engine standard on all E-type Jaguars until October 1964. Shown alongside an equivalent roadster model (check it out here) from 1963. Beautiful cars!
Very nice early (series 1) E-type Jaguar. At this time only two seater E-types were in production (a 2+2 version was added in 1966): an Open Two Seater (OTS) and (as seen here) a Fixed Head Coupé (FHC). Check out some OTS E-types, also in Jaguar's Silver Blue here and here. This example has the earlier 3781cc engine, and was registered in June 1962.
Fantastic looking series 1 E type Jaguar . This is the 2-seater fastback coupé with (post '64) 4.2 litre engine. Stunning in British Racing Green, with spoked wheels and a flash of chrome. Great classic Jag!
1965 Jaguar E-type (series 1) with the new 4235cc engine. Available as a roadster, but this example is the two-seater coupé. Registered in the UK in April 1965. Looking fine in Jaguar's Carmen red finish.
This late series 1 E-type Jaguar was registered in January 1966, and like all post-October '64 series 1s, is equipped with the 4.2 litre (4235cc) capacity engine. Carmen Red finish. Superb looking car!
Splendid Jaguar E-type (series 1) fastback coupé (2 seater) in Golden Sand Metallic finish. Like all post '64 E-types, this one is fitted with the larger 4.2 litre engine. Built in Coventry, England. This is one incredible looking Jaguar!
Lancia Flavia production ran from 1961 to 1970, with a 4-door saloon (Berlina), 2-door convertible, Zagato sport, and (as seen here) a 2-door coupé, with bodywork designed by Pininfarina. It was equipped with an 1800cc Lancia H4 ohv engine. This classic Italian car was registered in August 1968.
Lancia Fulvia (tipo 818) production ran from 1963-1976 making this example one of the last produced. It was available as a 4-door saloon (Berlina), a 2+2 2-door coupé (as seen here) and the Fulvia Sport designed by Zagato. Naturally the car evolved over the production period, with the Fulvia Coupé 3 introduced in 1974. Actually, a variant of this car, the Safari (celebrating the Lancia Fulvia's performance in the Safari Rally, Kenya) was produced at the same time - slimmed down with matte black exterior trim, no bumpers and Safari badges on the bonnet and boot. With no bumpers this could be a Fulvia Safari, but with missing badges it could also be a regular Lancia Fulvia with no bumpers! This car was registered in August of 1976, and is equipped with a 1298cc Lancia V4 engine.
Really nice late seventies MG hardtop in Porcelain White - what a looker! One of the later examples (production ceased in 1980). From the mid 1970s onwards, the MGB was fitted with the rubber front bumper (compare with the chrome of earlier examples here).
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!
Porsche 356 production ran from 1948 through to 1965, with the C variant only built in 1964 and 1965. Actually 1964 was the peak year for Porsche 356 production, with 14151 356Cs built that year. The 356 was replaced by the Porsche 911 (although there was some crossover, with both models available in 1964/65), and then the Porsche 912. This example is one of the last 356s registered in the UK in September 1964, and is fitted with a 1.6 L type 616/15 B4 engine. Very cool car indeed!
The Porsche 356 SC was very similar to the 356 C, though with a more powerful 1.6 L (1582cc) type 616/16 B4 95hp engine. Like the Porsche 356 C it was only in production between 1964 and 65, though they still managed to build 14151 356 Cs in 1964 alone. This one was registered in November 1964.
The 1973 Porsche Carrera RS 2.7 took the standard Porsche 911 and made it ready for motor sport. A bigger engine, bigger breaks, wider wheels, and the "ducktail" rear spoiler. This one was registered in October 1973. Great looks, with great performance. Only 1580 were made. A rare car that goes for big money.
1984 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 (3164cc), registered June 1984. Great looking coupé. The Carrera name had not been in use since the Carrera 3.0 of 1978.
The 1974 Porsche Carrera RS 3.0 was both lighter and more powerful than the previous year's 2.7L Carrera, for improved motorsport performance. It also had wider body panels and a "whale tail" spoiler replacing the "ducktail" of the 1973 911 Carrera RS. This example was registered in March 1974, with a recorded engine capacity of 3162cc.
Lovely example of a Porsche 912 2+2 coupé. The 912 was a slightly slimmed down version of the Porsche 911, in production between 1965 and 1969, finally being replaced by the Porsche 914 in 1970. European models were fitted with a 1.6 L type 616/36 B4 engine (actually 1582cc). This one was registered in January 1966, but a left-hand drive vehicle didn't start out in the UK.
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
This goofy-looking Trabant with additional headlamps and gaudy paintjob is actually a promo car for a nearby Thai massage shop right in the middle of Prague. Cross Charles bridge and you can't miss it. The Trabant is a tiny two door, two-stroke vehicle produced in East Germany, and a real symbol of 70s/80s GDR.
