1955 Ford Thunderbird

Ford Thunderbird
Engine capacity (ccm): 4.778
Power output: 148 kW / 201 hp
Top speed: 172 km/h
Transmission: automatic
Odometer (unwarranted): 38.600 mls
Production period: 1955 - 1957
Vehicle Description:
Model History:
Starting out as a sports car in direct competition with the Chevrolet Corvette or European rivals such as Jaguar and Porsche, later becoming a "Personal Luxury Car" for classy cruising - the Ford Thunderbird was always a product of the Zeitgeist of his era. The company's market strategists really had their eyes fixed on the market, and their strategy proved highly successful for decades.
Pundits distinguish a total of 11 generations, from the "Classic Bird" and "Square Bird" of the 50s, via "Bullet Bird", "Flair Bird" and "Glamour Bird" of the 1960s, "Big Bird" and "Torino Bird" of the 1970s, and "Box Bird", "Aero Bird", "Super Bird" of the 80s / 90s all the way to the "Retro Bird", which from 2002 to 2005 attempted a not-so successful revival.
In the models before 1980, you'd find the enormous, thirsty V8 engines with capacities up to 7.5 litres - typically American. After years of "longer, wider, heavier" the trend was reversed, with later model Thunderbirds being lighter and sportier again.

Production period: 1953 - 1968
Vehicle Description:
Model History:
Donald Healey built one single car for the 1952 London Motor Show, a jaw-dropping roadster capable of doing 100 mph, hence the name, "Hundred". BMC Chairman Leonard Lord was so impressed with it, he offered Healey a contract to build it in larger numbers, with bodies made by Jensen Motors and mechanical parts built at the Austin plant at Longbridge.
The car then known as Austin-Healey 100 originally came with a 2.7 litre 4-cylinder, 90 hp engine mated to a 3-speed manual gearbox with overdrive. In 1956, the 100/6 received a popularity boost due to the introduction of a 6 cylinder engine and elongated wheelbase which allowed for jump seats in the rear. The roadster was continuously modified and improved, culminating in the Austin-Healey 3000 which, as of 1959, boasted a 3.0 litre 6-cylinder with up to 148 hp of power.
The "Big Healey" earned itself a reputation for being difficult to handle. Rally driver Pat Moss nicknamed it "The Pig" for its unpredictable oversteering tendencies, which caused more than a few of them to meet a premature end.

Model History:
Drive like Tom Selleck in "Magnum"
Folding headlights up front, clear styling by Pininfarina, a detachable targa roof in the centre, twin taillights - but above and beyond all else: Immediately behind the rear seats, a V8 with a repertoire ranging from a stertorous rattle to a bark to a screaming roar. From these ingredients, Ferrari created the 308 GTS, one of the dream cars of the 1980s. Its popularity was further increased by the fact that the popular TV detective used this model for transport.
Early 308s, available only as closed GTB, had a fibreglass body, which was very time-consuming to produce. For that reason, it got replaced by a more conventional steel body in 1977. The Targa version appeared in the same year. From 1981, the GTS became a GTSi, a Bosch K-Jetronic was now responsible for mixture preparation instead of the carburetor system. Four-valve technology was introduced in 1982.

Rock solid elegance from Germany
The 123 models were the most successful cars Mercedes ever built. In 1980, the W123 even beat rival Volkswagen, having more registrations than the all-time winner VW Golf. The long delivery time of up to three years had an interesting effect: Young used cars cost more than new ones.
The coupe was derived from the sedan and was presented in 1977. Its shorter wheelbase made it look more sturdy and sportive. All coupe models featured broad halogen headlights.Â
For every 24 limousines, Mercedes produced only one coupe, which is why the C123 was very early considered an eligible classic. Its high production quality makes it a very reliable vehicle, even today. In Germany, Mercedes sold them with four or six cylinder petrol motors, while clients in the US could also choose additional diesel models.Â

Model History:
The Porsche 944 was presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1981. It was based technically and optically on the 924 which had come out 5 years earlier. The Audi sourced engine of the 924, which had come under criticism by Porsche purists, was replaced by a genuinly Porsche 2.5 litre straight-4, which was effectively half of the 928's 5.0 litre V8.
A turbo version was introduced in 1985, further power increases came with the 944 S in 1987 and the 944 S2 in 1989. The strongest engine available in a 944 was a 3.0 litre with 184 kW (250 hp) and a top speed of 260 km/h - impressive performance for a 4-cylinder car!
A convertible was only available in 1990 and 1991. Owing to its transaxle layout, handling of the 944 was superb, which is why it won the "Best Handling Production Car in America" award in 1984. In 1991, the 944 was replaced by the 968 which retained the characteristic styling cues of the 924/ 944.

Vehicle Description:
Model History:
In 1974, Volkswagen presented its first Golf - an immense improvement over its predecessor, the VW beetle and its air-cooled engine in the rear. The Golf was, from the start, a front-wheel drive car, with water-cooled transverse engines - and hugely successful. The basic version originally had 37 kW (50 hp), alternatively one could order a 1.5 litre engine with 51 kW (70 hp). As of 1976, Diesel engines were available, too. The Golf GTI with 81 kW (110 hp) of power from 1.6 litres of capacity, introduced in 1976, for many people represents the epitome of the "hot hatch". No wonder these cars have gained such popularity: they offer a first-rate driving experience, akin to that of conventional sports cars, while not compromising any of their everyday usability.
After nine years and 6 million of sold units, the second generation was introduced in 1983. The Golf I convertible, however, continued to be built for another decade, outliving the entire Golf II series, which was built no less than 6.3 million times, but of which VW never made an open variant. The pick-up version called Caddy, which was based on the Golf I and of which 200,000 units were produced, should also be mentioned.

The Golf was, from the start, a front-wheel drive car, with water-cooled transverse engines - and hugely successful. After nine years, the second generation was introduced in 1983. The characteristic shape and basic concept remained unchanged, but the new series was slightly more rounded and significantly larger - 5,5 cm wider and a full 28 cm longer! The choice of available engines was large, starting with 40 kW (55 hp) in the basic model and going up all the way to 118 kW (160 hp) in the GTI G60 towards the end of the production run. A total of around 6.4 million Golf II were built, topping the registration statistics in many countries. Even today, the Golf II is still a common sight on German roads, which is due to their effective rust prevention and superior build quality.
The "Golf Country" (1990 - 1991) with four-wheel drive, higher ground clearance and bullbars anticipated the concept of modern-day SUVs, but not their success. A small series (100 copies) of the Golf II were built as electric vehicles "citySTROMer". Interestingly, no factory convertible was offered, so the Golf I convertible (1980 - 1993) actually outlived the Golf II.

Model History:
In 1974, Volkswagen had presented its first Golf - a great improvement over its predecessor, the VW beetle and its air-cooled engine in the rear. The Golf was, from the start, a front-wheel drive car, with water-cooled transverse engines - and hugely successful. After nine years, the second generation was introduced in 1983. The characteristic shape and basic concept remained unchanged, but the new series was slightly more rounded and significantly larger - 5,5 cm wider and a full 28 cm longer! The choice of available engines was large, starting with 40 kW (55 hp) in the basic model and going up all the way to 118 kW (160 hp) in the GTI G60 towards the end of the production run. A total of around 6.4 million Golf II were built, topping the registration statistics in many countries. Even today, the Golf II is still a common sight on German roads, which is due to their effective rust prevention and superior build quality.

Model History:
The other great Porsche
This was supposed to be the heir to the throne, successor to the forever-young 911, which in the late 1960s was thought to be way past its prime, with not much of a future ahead. Hence a radically different layout was favoured: The new top-of-the-range model was designed to be a luxury touring car, with a powerful watercooled V8 engine in the front, providing 176 kW (240 hp) from 4,5 litres of displacement, and a transaxle layout, which enabled a weight distribution of nearly 50/50 (front/rear). The 928 debuted in 1977 at the Geneva Motor show. In 1978, it won the coveted "European Car of the Year" award, as the first sports car ever - a clear indication of just how advanced the 928 was both technically, as well as with regards to styling. Many Porsche enthusiasts, however, greeted the 928 with something ranging from suspicion to downright rejection, as the 911 continued to sell. Nevertheless, the 928 became a success in its own right, with a construction period of no less than 18 years. Later models featured a 5.4 litre engine with up to 257 kW (350 hp). Only about 1/5 of all 928 came with a manual gearbox!

1.8 tons of German cutting-edge technology of the 1990s
The BMW 8 series (E31) was much more than merely the successor to the evergreen 6 series (E24). The Gran Turismo was larger, heavier and it was jam-packed with electronic assistance systems and features which were highly exotic 25 years ago - though many have since become commonplace. Then there's the 12 cylinder engine, something no German Gran Turismo had boasted for half a century. The 8 series was BMW's flagship model of the 1990s, a supercar that was set to demonstrate what was technically possible.
It failed to sell as expected. The 1990s brought a global recession and the Gulf War. Energy prices soared. Even people who weren't scared off by the hefty price tag often considered the 850i a bit too far over the top. BMW reacted and brought on an 8-cylinder variant in 1993, the 840 Ci. But even including this model, no more than 31,062 units of the E31 were built over a full decade, so the 8 series has always been a rare sight. Now that the 8 series is on the verge to become a classic, prices have left the vale of tears behind and make the car an promising investment.

Model History:
Every Mercedes-Benz S-class series has a few superlatives to its name, but if there is one that outrivals all others in terms of popularity, it is likely the W126. No other S-class was sold in greater numbers, or over a longer timespan. The timelessly elegant sedan was designed by Bruno Sacco and made its debut at the 1979 Frankfurt Motor Show. A better drag coefficient and a weight reduction helped improve fuel efficiency by roundabout 10 % compared to its predecessor. In 1981, the coupe version was added to the lineup. The choice of engines consisted of 6- and 8-cylinder models with a displacement of up to 5.6 litres and a power output of up to 220 kW (300 hp). 5- or 6-cylinder Diesel engines were only available in sedans for the North American market.
The W126 received a facelift in 1985 and remained in high esteem with politicians and celebreties around the world for many more years. German production ceased in 1991, but continued in South Africa until 1994. A total of 818,063 sedans and 74,060 coupes were built. The W126 has a reputation for excellent build quality and longevity: German chancellor Helmut Kohl's official car was only taken out of service when it had accumulated over 500,000 km.

Vehicle Description:
Model History:
The XJ may be regarded as Sir William Lyons' masterpiece. It was the last car the co-founder of the Jaguar company designed, and what he had created in 1968 turned out to be perennial: The luxury sedan was built over 24 years with only minor modifications regarding the bodywork.
The XJ effectively replaced not only the S series, but the 420 and Mk II along with it, becoming the sole Jaguar saloon and one of the best known British motorcars. At first, only the XJ6 was available, but in 1972, a 12-cylinder version was added, the XJ12, at that time the world's only mass-produced 12-cylinder sedan.
The first major facelift for the 1974 model year brought raised front bumpers and, consequently, a flatter radiator grille which made the XJ appear even more slender and elegant.
In 1979 the XJ was facelifted once more, incorporating a mild redesign by Pininfarina while largely retaining Sir Lyons' original lines. Over the whole production span, around 318,000 XJ6 and XJ12 were produced.
One of the pecularities of the XJ is that it is equipped with two separate fuel tanks positioned on each side of the boot, each with its own chrome filler cap and a changeover switch on the dash.

And yet it has managed, in its very own way. Precisely by being different: Massive, dignified, courageous, athletic only at second glance - a bit quirky even, a car for individualists. And they honored it, kept buying the distinctive upper-class coupe for over two decades. During this period, the modifications took place almost exclusively underneath the sheets: Never change a winning, er, cat. A convertible variant only became available in 1988, when the XJS had already been on the market for 13 years.
Even with the straight 6 engines, the big cat was far from underpowered, and owing to its innovative chassis, sports car connoisseurs can still feel like winners today.

The essence of automotive beauty
No other than Enzo Ferrari called the E-Type the most beautiful car ever made, and even if beauty is always in the eye of the beholder, not too many people would have contradicted him since. The debut of the XK-E, called "E-Type", in 1961 was nothing short of a sensation. Its unrivalled elegant styling was complemented by plenty of power, and all of that at a relatively moderate price.
Over the years, the successful model was modified in several ways: From the spring of 1966 there was a 2 + 2-seater version with an extended wheelbase. In 1967, the headlight covers fell victim to American safety regulations. On the engine side, there were six-cylinder engines with 3.8 and later 4.2 litres, and as of 1971, twelve-cylinder motors to choose from. Production of the compact two-seaters ceased in 1971, the so-called Series III was only offered as a 2+2-seater.

Vehicle Description:
Model History:
The Siata company was founded in 1926 by Giorgio Ambrosini, and specialised originally in modifying and tuning of Fiat cars. Production of their own Fiat-based sports cars commenced in 1948. For a brief two years, 1959-1961, Siata cooperated with Abarth. In the 1960s, the company was best known for elegantly styled coupe and roadster bodies. The Siata Spring, presented in 1967, was a bit of a breach with this tradition. It is best described as a retro-styled fun car. While taking styling cues from old-school British roadsters, such as swept wheel arches, running boards and separate headlights, it was no precise replica of any existing car. The large upright radiator grille was strictly ornamental, the engine being located in the rear as the underlying Fiat 850 technology postulated. The somewhat quirky little roadster was quite a success, but it could not prevent the Siata company from going bankrupt in 1970. The assembly line of the Spring was sold to a newly founded company in Sardinia named Orsa, and production was continued from 1973 to 1975 which minor improvements. Today, the Siata Spring is a very rare sight indeed, the surviving examples of this unique and likeable car are mostly held by a committed fan base. Owing to the ready availability of Fiat 850 spare parts and a well-organized club scene, the Siata Spring's future looks bright.

Model History:
The Siata company was founded in 1926 by Giorgio Ambrosini, and specialised originally in modifying and tuning of Fiat cars. Production of their own Fiat-based sports cars commenced in 1948. For a brief two years, 1959-1961, Siata cooperated with Abarth. In the 1960s, the company was best known for elegantly styled coupe and roadster bodies. The Siata Spring, presented in 1967, was a bit of a breach with this tradition. It is best described as a retro-styled fun car. While taking styling cues from old-school British roadsters, such as swept wheel arches, running boards and separate headlights, it was no precise replica of any existing car. The large upright radiator grille was strictly ornamental, the engine being located in the rear as the underlying Fiat 850 technology postulated. The somewhat quirky little roadster was quite a success, but it could not prevent the Siata company from going bankrupt in 1970. The assembly line of the Spring was sold to a newly founded company in Sardinia named Orsa, and production was continued from 1973 to 1975 which minor improvements.

Model History:
Maybe the most elegant Mercedes-Benz coupe of all times?
As of February 1961, the coupe and convertible variants of the W111 became available, initially using the same drivetrain as the sedan model 220 SE. They were referred to as 220 SEb/C. After that, engine sizes - and prices, too - of the coupes just kept going up. The 250 SE, 280 SE and 300 SE followed, and just before the end of the production run, the 350 SE.
In contrast to its predecessor, coupe and convertible are based on the unshortened carrier of the associated sedan and were thus a full four-seater. Coupe and sedan have also stylistically many similarities, but not one of the components of the four-door car could be used for the coupe or convertible. More than four times as many parts as for the sedan were made by hand for the coupes and convertibles.
These C-models were the last largely handmade Mercedes, which is why coupe and convertible prices were almost twice as high as that of the sedan.

Model History:
Not open for everyone, but if open, then for four
Mercedes-Benz convertible lovers had to wait for it for a full two decades: A convertible, which offered no jump seats, but comfortable seats in the rear. There had been no such car since the end of production of the W108 series. In 1992 it was time again! The convertible based on the E-Class (W124) coupe, presented in 1987 - at a time when the corresponding sedan had been out for sale for eight years straight. Early customers weren't to be deterred by the high purchase price of 100,000 marks, and what they got, was a technically sophisticated vehicle with the proven 3 litre four-valve engine.
In subsequent years, the engine range was extended downwards, yet even the basic version with four-cylinder engine still set you back some 80,000 DM. From October 1996 to July 1997 there was the special "Final Edition" with an elegant, black-brown burl wood.
Since many A124 endet up as tuning victims, un-tinkered original models are now fast advancing to valuable classics.
