CLASSIFIED GEMS

Cars that caught our eye in this week’s ads

AUSTIN A90

1955, 35,000 miles, £5250 ovno. Famous Austin six cylinder engine that was used in several BMC products of the period. Starts on the button and gives a lovely, smooth and powerful ride. 07761 110981, Bristol

p49 Austin A90

With bodyshells that are almost impossible to replace, this good condition A90 is a real rarity. The C-series engine was pretty much brand new in 1955 creating an attracive balance between performance and classic styling.

CHEVROLET CORVETTE

1990, 39k miles, £8000, 1990 Cheverolet Corvette targa top, auto, done 39k with history. May p/x, 07878 104817

p51 Chevrolet Corvette

This 1990 C4 is in great spec, benefitting from the more powerful late-model engine, but not having received the 1991 facelift that softened those iconic ‘80s lines. If you’re tempted we’d definitely suggest turning to p42 for tips.

TRIUMPH TR3A

1959, 4618 miles, £12,950, bright red. Engine runs sweetly, mechanically looks original. Complete with factory supplied hardtop. Please call for more information. 07939 241203, Medway

p58 Triumph TR3A

At this price this TR3A won’t be perfect, but with luck it’s an honest car that offers a base for improvement and will be a good bit of fun as is. Red paint and original hard top are a bonus, just be sure to inspect it throughly.
