British Bruisers
Two Brit-built V6 sports saloons go headto-
head - the MG ZT and Jaguar X-TYPE
Sport, Flops
10 British cars of our era that were far from
a success, What Were They Thinking?
By the time Rover got around to launching
its 800 Coupe, it had pulled out of the
American market it was designed for, but
for some reason they carried on regardless...

First and Last - Metro and 100 back-to-back, plus two very special ones you can buy today with only four digits on the clock.

Clash of the Teutons - BMW Z3 takes on Mercedes-Benz SLK in rainsoaked soft-top battle..

Alfa Romeo 156 The car that rewrote the Alfa rulebook and put the brand into the compact executive class, Grand Designers NEW! Retro Cars tracks down former Ford and Renault design chief, Patrick Le Quement, Concept Analysis NEW! The concept cars that nearly made it - but did they
stand a chance? We kick off with the Fiesta Urba...

Growing Old Disgracefully Take one very scruffy Rover 214i, add a 220bhp turbocharged engine and boom -
you have the ultimate sleeper!, What Were They Thinking? Remember the Suzuki X-90? Ever wondered
why it existed? We’ve no idea either...

Lamborghini Miura
What can be more Japanese
than cutting up a Euro classic?
Although there's more than meets
the eye to this one!, Honda Prelude
We don't know what's rarer, a Kaido
racer here in the UK, or a H22 VTECequipped
Gen1 Prelude. Mental...

The Hornet's Sting - why is the owner of this bright blue wolseley hornet wearing a set of ear defenders and a massive smile on his face? That frantic Yamaha R1 motorbike engine that's now wedged under the bonnet will probably explain it.

670bhp Ford Escort The fl ying Finns don't mess about when it comes to power. What do you do when a Cossie YB just isn't enough to keep you warm? This! 052 Slick Toyota Celica We go Down Under to check out a build from one of our own snappers

VW Beetle With 550bhp and a driver seat right in the middle, Beetles don't get any more bonkers than this. 046 FIAT 131 Building this Abarth Group 4 rally rep was David Curley's childhood dream. Funnily enough, it was ours too!

Paul Wilmott’s stunning Moonstone Blue Cortina is not just packing a rebuilt Crossflow, but it barks through motorbike bodies too!

RC Tech: Handling Whether you're thinking about getting out on track this season, or you just want to get around corners without having to pucker up, this is the guide for you, New Products: All those quality products designed to get you chomping at the bit. Credit cards at the ready… go!...

Peugeot 205 Dimma The 205 Dimma was always THE car for those who thought the GTi just wasn't quite conspicuous enough. Here's one that's more conspicuous than most!

Goblin Works Garage Datsun 280Z This genuine TV star has been brought back to life with a distinct period racing fl avour. It’s not just those rather iconic colours making it look good in front of the camera crew though, there’s a lot more going on here.

008 1JZ E-Type Jag A turbo Toyota engine conversion performed on a thoroughly British icon like the E-Type could be the most sacrilegious swap of all time. It’s certainly enough to make the purists puke, and that’s reason enough in our book! Amazing stuff.

008 VW Corrado This VW coupe isn’t just one of the smoothest cars you’re ever likely to see on the street, but it’s sporting a blown R32 engine too. Awesome! 020 Ford Cortina With 400-odd bhp, courtesy of a Cossie YB lump, this certainly isn’t the retrained Cortina resto job we’re used to here in the Blighty.

Ford Sierra The automotive proof that you should never judge a book by its cover. This battered Ford is hiding a secret under the hood. A big RS secret. 022 Lada Riva Packing over 400 bhp this Lada estate is officially rocking well over 10-times the stock grunt. No wonder it loves to go sideways!

Ford Escort Mk2 Not content with choosing a 4-door Mk2, Craig here decided to stick it to the Ford fraternity good with bright purple paint and a 240bhp Nissan lump. Suffi ce to say we love it! 020 Vauxhall Corsa B With Dan’s 250bhp, turbocharged Corsa B, we’re now convinced that now we really have seen it all!

Hillman Imp You certainly don’t see too many of these on the streets nowadays, especially not awesome, home-built
creations like this one, Mk1 Fiesta Sometimes you get 2-wheel fans turn their attention to 4-wheel projects. This mentalist drag weapon is the result of just that. No leather jumpsuits needed here!

Mk1 Civic RS THE RC REGULARS Here it is, right where theperformance Civic legend started. Clean seems to be the word of the day here, and they don’t get any cleaner than this RS-inspired build.Group-B R5 Maxi The rarest hatchback ever? Considering they only made 20, it’s got to be a contender. Still, this replica of the Renault legend is even rarer, it’s packing a 500bhp Clio lump and cost the owner over 90K!

VW Golf Cab - Arguably it’s the car that brought rag top hot hatchery to the masses. Here’s our homage to one of the most legendary VWs ever… and predictably this one’s from Belgium.

Austin-Healey - Where’s the best place to find an iconic British Sportscar? California obviously. Luckily the new owner shipped this one home sharpish!

Vauxhall Omega - What we’ve got here is perhaps the ultimate sleeper. This rather unassuming mid-1990s Omega is packing a 600bhp Supra lump!

Honda Civic EK - The 6th generation Civic may be right on the border of retro status but there’s no denying this boosted terror is absolutely jaw-dropping.

BMW E26 Compact - The ‘90s Beemer hatch is probably one of the most overlooked Bavarian bruisers ever to hit the streets here in Europe. This one though, will soon get you scouring Auto Trader.

VW Karmann Ghia - Serious show and even more serious go, this juiced, Wankel-powered old skool VW has got the lot. Absolutely bonkers stuff.

Toyota Celica - A classic Toyota sporting the guts from a noughties Honda? Yes it is, and there’s no denying this one is properly awesome!

Honda Civic EG - Sleek, subtle and packing a fully breathed-on B16 lump. There’s much more to this little EG than meets the eye.

Datsun 240Z - Apparently fitting a BMW engine to a Japanese icon like the 240Z is enough to make the purists vomit. And that's exactly why we love it!

Honda Civic EG - Hang on, is that a K20 under the hood? Yes it is and that's not the only surprising thing about this super-smooth EG Civic and more...

Skyline C210 - This car proves that the Skyline will always be the daddy, even without a GT-R option.

Ford Capri MkIII - The Capri may have been a child of the ‘70s but the MkIII was THE car of the ‘80s. Awesome!

VW Polo Mk2 - The hatchback that’s a coupé, well, according to the VW marketing bods anyway.

British R5 Le Car 2 Turbo - This has to be one of the rarest sights ever seen in Retro Cars. We’ll eat our berets if you can show us another that’s still on the road.

Belgian Mercedes W108 - No one quite does Euro box cruisers like ze Germans… or, as it turns out, the Belgians.

Top 20 Retro Rims - New rims are all very well but sometimes kudos calls for hoops that are a little more classic.

Air Suspension - Our definitive guide to get you floating on a cushion of air. This retro mod isn’t nearly as modern as most people think.

Audio Showcase: Kenwood - We asked top audio firm to show us what they’ve got that’ll be big in 2017 so they did, and then some!

1990s Nissan Micra - 20 years old and packing 500bhp, this UK could be the maddest pickup anywhere on the streets. Insanity on super-posh hoops.

1950s Ford F-100 - For many the 50s F-100 will always be the most humble of American pickups. That said, this particular 600bhp custom creation is worth more than the average house. Humble it ain’t!

1983 Ford Fiesta Mk1 - Okay so the Mk1 Fezza may be a thoroughly 70s design but there’s no denying they set the trend for modifiers in the 80s. Still, the only trend followed here is the one that makes you smile!

1986 Toyota Corolla AE86 - Our Midge actually thought that the ‘Hachi’ in Hachi-Roku was all to do with the tailgate. He obviously can’t count in Japanese then! and more...

Toyota Corolla: This super-clean 70s Corolla was on the streets a decade before the legendary Hatchi-Roku saw it's first windy mountain road. Not every old skool Corolla is a drift car you know!.

Hino Contessa: Less of a car feature and more of a retrospective. Here's the coolest 60s Jap car you've probably never heard of...

Bootyliciouc Audi 100 GL - Are You Ready For This Jelly?

Cossie V6 Cortina - Whatcha Gonna Do With All That Gas? and more...

Bonkers Cobra V8 Escort - Crazy road-legal Ford tears up the English countryside.

Retro-Style Wildcard - The Only thing that's new here is the Actual Car!

Cool Britannia.
1. We're Out of Europe.
2. Straight into The Great.
3. British Build Off! and more...
