Russ Smith’s pick of cars offered through Classiccarsforsale

1977 Fiat X1/9 1300 Special Series Price: £11,995

A real collectors’ piece – number 188 of 250 made and only 18,000 miles as it lived on one of the smaller Channel Islands until as recently as 2018.

1973 Triumph GT6 MKIII Price: £14,995

This lovely example was completely restored and upgraded 20 years ago at 57,000 miles and has only covered another 6000 miles since then.

1989 Mazda 626 GLX Price: £1750

A one owner 2.0-litre manual with only 51,434 miles on it. Just needs some very minor cosmetics. One of very few that are still left on UK roads.
