It is hard to believe that a charming little sports car like this MGTC has traveled only 34,805 miles. It deserves to travel a lot more don’t you think? This black beauty is part of an estate of a collector in the Atlanta area. They also look great in black and those tall wire wheels are so period correct. Read More

Here at Mint we try to select interesting cars while recognizing the diverse tastes, interests and budgets of our readers. The decision to select one car over another may have to do with where it ranks in the collector car/special interest market or simply “we had one of those yesterday”.

Why would we feature a Datsun 510 Tribute racer on Mint? Well because the BRE team was really good at building competitive cars and Pete Brock, the founder of BRE, was one important car guy.

This is a racer that qualifies for any historic racing events but it is best suited for events that go in a straight line and don’t last too long. Read More

If this weren’t Halloween we would swear it was April Fools Day. You see these Turbo Diesel Mercedes Benz Station Wagens (AKA Longroof) are quite the in thing. If we had not just purchased that GTO for $52 million, we would be all over this one. These W123 Diesels are known to be virtually indestructible. You could put Irv Gordon miles on one and not break a sweat. Read More
