The 1969 MGC GT 🇬🇧💛

"Baby Aston Martin" and "The Elegant in Disguise" — that's how John Thornley, chairman of MG, described his own car. Both names are on the wall beside it. ✨

Swipe for the reason that bonnet has a bulge in it 🔧 MG dropped a three-litre straight-six into a car designed around a four, and the panel had to change shape to close over it.

The 1964 Peel P50 🇬🇧🚗✨

One of the smallest production cars ever built. It seats one, it has no reverse gear, and there's a handle on the back so you can lift the tail and turn it around yourself.
