Check out the new drive video posted below… fast, light and smooth! Ride along with me while I carve-up the parking lot!

The car is light and nimble with ample power and excellent grip. There is no inside wheel spin courtesy of the limited slip differential. The car is tight and rattle free… the only surplus noise is the passenger seat belt flipping around next to the camera microphone. There’s ample performance here to learn and master during a lifetime of fun drives. This is a car you wear that and a car that will always leave a smile on your face!

This car feels more like a race car than a street car… and it’s totally street legal in every state! Check out the video tour below!

She’s extremely light (about 1150 lbs!) and you can sense this the first time you step on the gas… you’re basically strapped to a rocket. The handling, acceleration and braking is exceptional and the car is super nimble, largely because of supremely light weight. Body is aluminum, fenders are fiberglass.

This car has great documentation, including the original Illinois title… in fact, this title documents that on May 23, 1967, Russell Beard paid $2,478.96 for his new ’67 Midget (he financed it), which he and his family kept for the next 56 years! (You’ll notice the Russ B front license plate which stays with the car in his honor).

We also found some of Russell’s vintage “Dog N Suds” napkins under the driver’s seat, upon which, while presumably sitting at a picnic table consuming said dogs and/or suds, he felt compelled to record his oil pressures at various RPMs, perhaps much to the delight of his fellow Dog N Suds patrons. (Is this really what we did with our free time before Smart phones?) 

We can only presume that Russell, excited about his successful oil pressure documentation project and perhaps emboldened by the ample suds (root beer) he might have consumed, then took off in his Midget to continue his precision telemetry and record speed and RPM all the way up to 85 MPH (5500 RPM, for the record, on his original bias ply tires).  

BMC engineers would be proud.

If you want to keep the flame alive on your own fast food and napkin adventures, give us a call and we’ll be happy to ship this unique Midget to your door!

This special 1967 MG Midget (GAN4L 52413) is called “Travis” in honor of its most recent owner, a good client of ours who recently passed away and wanted us to sell his beloved car for him and his family. This is an awesome car, one that is mechanically well-sorted while exuding a well-worn “work clothes” exterior.

Travis loved the fact that this was an unrestored mostly original car with a great history, unlike other Midgets of its generation. He hired us in July of 2023 to fix or replace anything and everything that needed attention, to the tune of $23,926.58. And that is the price of this car… we’re offering the car for less than the price of the improvements he had us perform on the car in 2023… and you get the car for free!

Make a statement! If you want a superb and rare car, this vintage Saab is a great candidate. This car attracts as much (if not more) attention than a Bugeye!

This 1971 Saab 95 Station Wagon (95096121) was recently repainted and presents quite nicely. The car is solid, a nice survivor. 

People love this car; there is nothing on the road quite like it, and it’s a quirky and wonderful car that is a delight to drive.  I just spent four hours driving this car to Lime Rock Park and back, so I had a good chance to appreciate Saab engineering, the column shift four-speed transmission never gets old. Today, a new 911 owner stopped to give me an enthusiastic thumbs up. For not a lot of money, you can have a rare piece of car culture.

Now sold to Jeremy in Connecticut! Congratulations !

That’s a great value for this restored truck with great features like Ancara headliner, new seats and a highway capable five-speed transmission. Defenders routinely trade for much higher numbers but we have made the price really attractive to make space in our building, so feel free to call if you want a really fun truck!

This is a very cool vehicle we received in trade. It drives wonderfully! Check out the copy below that was written by the restorer, the car was imported from the UK and completely rebuilt just a few years ago by Mad River Imports in Durham NC. It’s a very high quality build, and anyone looking for a tight, restored, Defender will enjoy this ride! The truck is currently registered in CT, and comes with all the paperwork to register it anywhere in the world!

You can read Mad River’s description of the vehicle in italics below:

This is a classic and retro styled 1995 Defender 90, fitted with a 300Tdi diesel engine matched to the R380 5-speed manual gearbox. It’s a right-hand drive, true to form, classic example. This is a perfect cruiser with all the character and charm you need for that ultimate driving experience.

The body is nicely finished in timeless Land Rover Arles blue all over with color coded Wolf steel wheels to match. With bulletproof diesel power for ultimate reliability in the harshest conditions, there’s simply nothing that can beat a Land Rover diesel engine. The aluminum bodywork is light but strong and all those right angles and sharp corners were designed for it to be rugged and tough out in the wildlands. This retro classic is ready to be enjoyed regardless of whether you take it on the streets or get it dirty on the trails. It’s a very quintessential British and iconic Defender 90. Distinct, intimidating, and genuinely rugged, this Defender 90 is the ideal 4×4 to take you on any adventure.

Another great reason to have a RHD Land Rover originally built for a foreign market is what lies under the hood. Diesel power provides the best torque to get you through or over anything (which was never available on US spec vehicles). It’s equipped with one of the best diesels, the robust 300Tdi engine with a R380 5-speed manual transmission, regarded by many in the Land Rover world as their best engine produced, and it has earned a tough-as-nails reputation over the years. The 2.5-liter 4-cylinder turbo diesel engine in this Defender has just 88k original miles and runs very well. Paired with the R380 5-speed manual and 3.54 Rover axles it moves through the gears well and it has no problem keeping up with everyday traffic, around town or on the highway.

Shifting action is light and smooth with the R380 gearbox, the clutch take-up is clean and with power steering and disc brakes all round, it feels competent on or off-road. No other 4×4 vehicle has the pedigree and track record like a Land Rover, a Rover of the Land. Not only was it one of the first, but it also remains the world’s benchmark off-road vehicle, exhilarating to drive, highly reliable, and simplicity to maintain. It provides high performance on-road with the capability to tackle the worst off-road conditions and in nearly every driving environment the world has to offer.

It’s a lovely retro and vintage styling D90, that’s been nicely refurbished inside and out, featuring new gleaming Arles blue paintwork, LED lights, PUMA hood, full Exmoor Trim premium carpet, new door hinges, hardware, bolts, and a lovely Exmoor Trim Lignum wood rim steering wheel.

Inside it’s as simple and minimal as you would expect, with brand new Exmoor Trim carpet, new brown re-upholsted front seats, and it even still has its original Land Rover AM//FM radio. It has a very stylish and new Alcantara headliner fitted.

The cargo bay offers enough room for storage and for extra passengers as well. It comes with traditional Land Rover side-facing bench seats in the rear cargo area with lap belts.

Factory gauges cover the basics and the controls. The control levers manage the 5-speed manual transmission and 2-speed transfer case/hi-low range/diff lock and there’s a center cubby box between the seats. All lights, heater, wipers, and gauges work, as they should. It sits on Land Rover 16” heavy duty Wolf steel wheels wrapped with all new 265/75/16 Ranger Insa Turbo A/T tires and heavy-duty drive flanges, which give it that classic look and heavy-duty styling. The chassis, bulkhead and doorframes all show in great condition. It also comes freshly wax oiled underneath for extra protection against the outside elements. This is a legendary 4×4 that has both style and substance. Overall, this is one stylish, retro, and quintessential British Defender 90 ready to be enjoyed!

The vehicle was serviced in 2021 with new oil and filter, new fuel filter, new air filter, new front heavy duty drive flanges, new fuel tank, and new panhard bushings. Drives beautifully with no issues, ready to enjoy.
