Sensational Classic & Sport Cars
The 1960s was a decade that witnessed the exotica establishment reach giddying new heights. It also saw a raft of new pretenders to the throne; start-up operations that promised to not only take on the likes of Ferrari and Aston Martin at their own game, but vanquish them. Some stayed the course to become the old guard in later years. Others made like the mayfly, enjoying – enduring – only the most ephemeral of lives.
What united the cars gathered here was striking looks, high performance and glamour. They were cars adopted by the Jet Set, being capable of leaping continents in a single bound, assuming you could afford the fuel bills.
They typified automotive exotica before the market segment went down the trash and trinkets route. Some of our selection are obvious, others markedly less so. More importantly, none could ever be accused of being boring. Enjoy!
