Designed at Stile Maserati under engineer Marco Tencone and unveiled at the Shangai Motor Show, as a luxury executive saloon. The Maserati Ghibli shares the architecture of the sixth-generation Maserati Quattroporte, but sits on a 20 cm (7.9 in) shorter wheelbase with an overall length some 11.4 inches less.

The Ghibli is the first Maserati to become available with a Diesel engine, from the outset the car was available with a choice of three engines, a three litre twin turbo V6 petrol engine with twin intercoolers and direct injection, of 2976cc available in base form with 345bhp, or with 404bhp available in the sporty Ghibli S or four wheel drive Ghibli S Q4, plus a 2987cc V6 common rail Turbo Diesel of 279bhp or 247bhp for the Italian market.

The petrol engines are designed by Maserati and assembled by Ferrari; specifically, the engine blocks are cast and machined to Ferrari's specifications respectively in Fiat's Kokomo, Indiana and Trenton Engine Plant, then shipped to Modena, Italy for assembly by Ferrari. The Diesel engine is produced by Fiat Powertrain's subsidiary VM Motori. All Ghibli models employ a ZF 8HP 8-speed automatic transmission and a rear limited slip differential. The braking system uses vented discs on all four corners, four-pot callipers at the front and floating callipers at the rear; S models come with larger cross-drilled dual-cast rotors, six-pot callipers at the front and four-pot at the rear.

Some time on or about September 1967 the 3.8 litre model was discontinued and the 2.4 and 3.4 litre Mark 2 cars were rebadged as the 240 and 340 respectively as gap-fillers until the XJ6 arrived in September 1968. The 340 was discontinued at that time, but remaining Series 2 parts were used up producing budget-priced 240s until April 1969. These sold at £1364, only £20 more than the first 2.4 in 1956.

The automatic transmission was upgraded to a Borg-Warner 35 dual drive range. Power steering by Marles Varamatic was now available on the 340. Both Models continued to fit the Dunlop 6.40H15 Crossply tyres as standard. 185VR15 Pirelli Cinturato was the radial alternative. Servicing intervals were increased from 2,000 miles (3,200 km) to 3,000 miles (4,800 km). There was a slight reshaping of the rear body and slimmer bumpers and over-riders were fitted.

The 240 and 340 models retained cost-saving downgrades that had appeared a year earlier in the Mark 2 series. Standard leather upholstery was replaced by Ambla, a leather-like synthetic material, and tufted carpet was used on the floor. The front fog lamps were replaced with circular vents and made optional for the UK market. The sales price was reduced to compete with the Rover 2000 TC.

340 – 2,788 produced,

A 3.4 litre with automatic transmission tested by The Motor magazine in 1961 had a top speed of 119.9 mph (193.0 km/h) and could accelerate from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 11.9 seconds. A touring fuel consumption of 19.0 miles per imperial gallon (14.9 L/100 km; 15.8 mpg‑US) was recorded. The test car cost £1951 including taxes of £614.[2]

A 3.8 litre with the 220 bhp engine was capable of accelerating from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 8.5 seconds and could reach a top speed of 125 mph (201 km/h).

The car was re-engineered above the waistline, slender front pillars allowed a wider windscreen and the rear window almost wrapped around to the enlarged side windows. The radiator grille was amended and larger side, tail and fog lamps repositioned.
Mechanically the front suspension geometry was rearranged and the rear track widened Four-wheel disc brakes were now standard. Power steering, overdrive or automatic transmissions could be fitted at extra cost. The 3.8 Litre was supplied fitted with a limited-slip differential

The Mark 1 was initially offered with a 2.4 Litre short-stroke version of the XK120's twin-cam six-cylinder engine, first rated at 112bhp nett by the factory at the launch in 1955. From February 1957 the larger and heavier 3.4 Litre 210bhp (gross) unit already used in the Jaguar Mark VIII also became available, largely in response to pressure from US Jaguar dealers. Wire wheels became available. The 3.4 had a larger front grille for better cooling, a stronger rear axle, and rear-wheel covers (spats) were cut away to accommodate the wire wheels' knock-off hubcaps. The 2.4 Litre was also given the larger grille. After 200 cars had been built and sent to USA and just prior to the car's announcement a major factory fire destroyed 3.4 Litre production facilities.
n September 1957 a three-speed Borg-Warner automatic transmission previously an export-only option became available with either engine and Dunlop disc brakes for all four wheels were made available as an optional extra on all Jaguar models except the Mark VIII saloon.

Mark I 3.4 Litre saloons competed successfully in many rallies, touring car, and saloon car races, notable drivers including Stirling Moss, Mike Hawthorn, Tommy Sopwith, and Roy Salvadori.[
In Australia, David McKay won the 1960 Australian Touring Car Championship at the wheel of a 3.4 Litre “Mark 1” and Bill Pitt won the 1961 Australian Touring Car Championship driving the same model.

The 1st generation Ford Mustang was updated for third time for the 1969-70 model years. The restyle by Gale Halderman increased the cars dimensions, by 3.8 inches in length (the wheelbase remaining at 108 inches), width increased by almost half an inch, and the Mustang's weight increased. and the earlier concave side panels were now convex. 1969 was the first model to use quad headlamps placed both inside and outside the grille opening. The corralled grille pony was replaced with the pony and tribars logo, set off-centre to the driver's side. he fastback body version was named SportsRoof in Ford's literature

The 1969 model year introduced the Mach 1, with a variety of powerplant options and many new styling and performance features. Distinctive reflective striping was placed along the body sides, with a pop-open gas cap, dual exhausts, matte-black hood with simulated air scoop, and NASCAR-style cable with pin tie-downs. The Mustang GT was discontinued in 1969 due to poor sales versus the success of the new Mach 1 with only 5396 GT models sold that year

The 1970 model year Mustangs were restyled to be less aggressive and therefore returned to single headlamps which were moved to the inside of the grille opening with fins on the outside of the grille sides. The styling of the 1969 model was deemed to have caused a drop in sales and this prompted the headlamp revisions and simplification of other exterior styling aspects for 1970. In the end, however, the 1969 model year sales exceeded those of 1970.

1970 model year saw the previous 351W V8 engine options replaced with a new 351 cu in (5.8 L) Cleveland (351C) V8 in either 2V (2-venturi carburettor) or 4V (4-venturi carburettor) versions; however, some early production 1970 Mustangs had the 351W. The 351C 4V (M code) engine featured 11.0:1 compression and produced 300 bhp

The Mustang was introduced in mid 1964 with the first generation running 1964-73 and the first major redesign coming in 1967.

Several changes to the Mustang occurred at the start of the normal 1965 model year production, five months after its introduction. These cars are known as late 65's," and were built after factory retooling in August 1964. The engine line-up was changed, with a 200 cu in (3.3 L) T-code engine that produced 120 hp (89 kW; 122 PS). Production of the F-code 260 cu in (4.3 L) engine ceased when the 1964 model year ended. It was replaced with a new 200 hp (150 kW) C-code 289 cu in (4.7 L) engine with a two-barrel carburettor as the base V8

The 1967 model year Mustang was the first redesign of the original model. making the car bigger and heavier than the original, increasing interior size and boot capacity. The major mechanical feature was to allow the installation of a big-block V8 engine. Exterior trim changes included concave taillights, side scoop (1967 model) and chrome (1968 model) side ornamentation, square rear-view mirrors, and usual yearly wheel and gas cap changes. The high-performance 289 option was placed behind the newer 335 hp (250 kW; 340 PS) 390 cu in (6.4 L) FE engine from the Ford Thunderbird, which was equipped with a four-barrel carburettor
Changes for the 1968 model increased safety with a two-spoke energy-absorbing steering wheel, along with newly introduced shoulder belts. Other changes included front and rear side markers, FORD lettering removed from hood, rear view mirror moved from frame to windshield, a 302 cu in (4.9 L) V8 engine was now available, and C-Stripe graphics were added.
The 1968 Ford Mustang GT Fastback reached iconic status after it was featured in the 1968 film Bullitt, starring Steve McQueen. In the film, McQueen drove a modified 1968 Mustang GT 2+2 Fastback. Two vehicles were used in the filming of the movie one of which still exists.

The 1969 model year restyle added more heft to the body with body length extended by 3.8 inches (97 mm) (the wheelbase remaining at 108 inches), width increased by almost half an inch, again increasing the Mustangs weight. 1969 was the first model to use quad headlamps placed both inside and outside the grille opening. The corralled grille pony was replaced with the pony and tribars logo, set off-centre to the drivers side. The car was longer than previous models and sported convex rather than concave side panels. The fastback body version was renamed Sportsroof, styled as SportsRoof in Ford's literature. The 1969 model year saw the introduction of the Mach 1, with a variety of powerplants options and many new styling and performance features.

The 1967 model year Mustang was the first redesign of the original model. Ford's designers began drawing up a larger version even as the original was achieving sales success. The major mechanical feature was to allow the installation of a big-block V8 engine. The overall size, interior and cargo space were increased. Exterior trim changes included concave taillights, side scoop (1967 model) and chrome (1968 model) side ornamentation, square rear-view mirrors,

An A-code 225 hp (168 kW) four-barrel carburetted version was next in line, followed by the unchanged Hi-Po K-code 271 hp (202 kW) 289. The DC electrical generator was replaced by a new AC alternator on all Fords (the quickest way to distinguish a 1964 from a 1965 is to see if the alternator light on the dash says GEN or ALT. The now-famous Mustang GT (Gran - Touring) was introduced as the GT Equipment Package and included a V8 engine (most often the 225 hp (168 kW) 289), grille-mounted fog lamps, rocker panel stripes, and disc brakes. A four-barrel carburetted engine was now available with any body style.

This 1947 Jaguar Mark IV is now owned by a Tampa-area enthusiast, but its first home after leaving the Brown’s Lane factory in Coventry was New Zealand. An NZ license plate is displayed at the front.

Available in 1.5-, 2.5-, and 3.5-litre engined form, the Mark IV was the postwar version of the sports saloon car introduced in 1936, when the company was called SS Cars. Such a name was deemed unpalatable after World War II, thus SS Cars became Jaguar Motors Ltd. The model remained in production until 1949.

This car was manufacture in 1991 but not registered until 2001, and is powered by the full race trim 3201cc engine

Based on the 1986 model year BMW E30 3 series. Powered by a 2.3 S4 litre engine mated to a five Gertrag speed gearbox with limited slip differentials, the standard road version producing 197bhp non catalysed, with Evolution 2 models producing 220bhp in road trim. Attained by use of revised intake camshaft profile and modified exhaust camshaft timing, increased compression, and a more efficient cylinder head intake port design. Larger diameter exhaust header tubes along with the lack of a catalyst.

The M3 differed from the rest of the E30 range, although using the same body shell the M3 was equipped with 12 different body panels aimed at improving aerodynamics, as well as box flared wheel arches to accommodate the wider track and larger wheels and tyres. Different sporting suspension and special front and rear brakes calipers, rotors and master cylinder

To keep the car competitive in racing following year-to-year homologation rules changes, homologation specials were produced. Homologation (motorsport) rules roughly state that the race version must reflect the street car aerodynamically and in engine displacement. These include the Evo 1 (200bhp), Evo 2 (220bhp), and Sport Evolution, some of which featured less weight, improved aerodynamics, taller front wheel arches

The Sport Evolution produced 235bhp to further facilitate 18-inch (460 mm) wheels in DTM), brake ducting, and more power. Of which only 600 cars were built to facilitate FIA rules, plus 1 Convertible. In road trim the 2,5 litre engine produced 235 bhp rising to 380bhp in race trim

The M3 E30 competed in many forms of motorsport and was highly successful in touring car racing. In full race trim, the 1988 M3's 2.3 L (140 cu in) naturally aspirated engine was rated at approximately 221 kW (300 PS; 296 hp). The E30 M3 won the 24 Hours Nürburgring five times (1989, 1990, 1991, 1992 and 1994) and the Spa 24 Hours four times (1987, 1988, 1990 and 1992), often competing against cars with significantly larger or turbocharged engines.

The second generation M3 debuted in February 1992 and became available in November of that year. initially powered by a 2990cc S6 engine of 282bhp and only available as Coupe with the Convertible and saloons launched in 1994.
With the absence of any M5 models between the end of 1995 and the launch of the E39 M5 in 1998, this prompted the introduction of a four-door 'Motorsport' model to join the range.

In September 1995, the M3 coupé and saloon were upgraded to the 316bhp 3.2 litre engines and known as Evolution versions. At the same time the cars received clear indicator lenses, new wheels and a 6-speed gearbox. The E36 M3 chassis was touted as one of the best handling cars of the 90's in independent tests and known for its benign handling and balance, with the car also popular amongst circuit racers and track enthusiasts.

The vast majority of the M3 E36s were built at Regensburg with a smaller number built in Pretoria, South Africa

Designated, an entry-level BMW, was smaller, less expensive, and less well-appointed than the New Class Sedan on which it was based .

Helmut Werner Bönsch, BMW's director of product planning, and Alex von Falkenhausen, designer of the M10 engine, each had a two-litre engine installed in a 1600-2s for their personal use, and together made a proposal to the BMW board for the manufacture of such a car. Meanwhile American importer Max Hoffman was asking BMW for a sporting version of the 02 series that could be sold in the United States. The 2 litre engine was made available in two stages of tune, the base single-carburettor 2002 producing 99bhp (100 PS), and the dual-carburettor high compression 2002 ti producing 118bhp (120 PS). The car was launched in 1968 for the 1969 model year.

The Bentley 3.5 litre was a product of the Rolls Royce-Bentley takeover, though not entirely badge engineered, it rides on a shorter chassis compared to the Rolls Royce 20/25, twin carburettors, single coil ignition and hypoid rear end before the Rolls Royce, got one. Plus Rolls Royce bonuses such as the syncromesh gearbox and servo brakes. It also benefits from a higher compression, sportier profile, a cross flow cylinder head and a low slung, double drop chassis. The result is a 90 mph, sporting Saloon that earned the nickname the silent sportscar. Most were fitted with bespoke coachwork, the most prominent being, like this example, Park Ward

B98FB
Was fitted with its Park Ward body from new, and delivered to fellow coachbuilder Joseph Cockshoot and Co., 15th February 1936.It was quickly sold to its first private owner William G Jones Esq. who kept the car for the next 18 years. It then passed on to its next long term owner, V. M. White of Wistaston Road, Crewe, in the Summer of 1954, who kept the Bentley until 1965, when it was purchased by a Mr. C. J. M. Booth in 1965. Since then the car has spent some time in the USA, before being repatriated to the UK from Oregon in 2016
