For this Old Classic Car collection, I gathered together 150 photos of lesser-known British cars of the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, ie those that tend to turn up less regularly than other - more mainstream - makes and models at car shows, in car museums etc - an online "Festival of the Obscure" perhaps I could have called it. Classic cars in this video include the Ashley 750, Allard P2 Safari, Singer Roadster, Morris Six, AC 2 Litre, the British Anzani-built Astra Utility, Turner Lea-Francis, various Gilberns including the Invader estate, Unipower GT, Bond Equipe, Marcos Mantula, Peel P50, Armstrong-Siddeley 236, Peerless GT, Allard Palm Beach, Farr-bodied Jowett Jupiter, Lanchester Leda DHC, AC Greyhound, AC Buckland tourer, TVR Clipper, Sunbeam Harrington Le Mans, Beardmore Mk7 taxi, GSM Delta, Lagonda 3.0, Triumph Fury prototype, Mini "beach car", Riley RM woodie, Standard Vanguard Sportsman, Marauder, Scootacar and many many more less-often-encountered classic British cars.
