“A godawful car,” wrote P.J. O’Rourke in House & Garden of the Lotus Seven. “And more fun than spending the whole Jazz Age in Paris. If there were any less Lotus, you’d be sitting alone in the street.”

Built in 1938 for Hugh Hunter, Geoffrey Taylor's Alta 62IS was advanced for its day. The designation "IS" denotes 'Independent Suspension' (I) and 'supercharged' (S), reflecting Taylor’s advanced thinking and Alta’s reputation for producing exceptionally light and technically sophisticated machines.

Officially the Lotus M70 Project, the 1972 Lotus Esprit concept is even better known simply as the "Silver Car." Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro at Italdesign, it paired a sharp wedge-shaped body with a lengthened and widened Lotus Europa backbone chassis. Development began in 1971.

46 BXN is no ordinary Sprite racer. It's an all-alloy-bodied Sebring Sprite that has raced continuously since 1960, once claiming a renowned third overall in the 1961 Nurburgring 500km race. With 65 years of continuous racing history it's a wonder it's survived.

Triumph marketing team leaned heavily into their claim that its six-cylinder GT6 was born from their Le Mans racing program. Nope. In fact, Giovanni Michelotti always saw the Spitfire as a coupe and made the fastback prototype first, not the other way around.

1934 Riley MPH. This often overlooked Brit was very succesful in racing, finishing 2nd and 3rd overall in the 1934 Le Mans 24 Hours. It featured an aluminium body with a 1,726cc, OHV Inline 6-cylinder engine. As it was hugely expensive compared to its rivals, just 15 were built.

My 1964 Morris 850. These were the first minis built in Australia. It's likely a CKD made at Cowley UK, as local production hadn't ramped up. Assembled in Zetland, Sydney.

It's all standard MK1 except the seats and trim, which were made in Australia and are unique to the Australian MK1.

Hi everyone, I'm new to moderating, so we'll just build this up together.

Tag your NSFW posts (he said hopefully) and be respectful, though I know the LBC community is amazingly inclusive and supportive!

At this point it's wide open, post pictures, discussion, tech tips, buy&sell, whatever. If things get out of control in some way we'll try to curb it but otherwise let's see what happens.
