This guide has been created for the 1966 Studebaker Daytona Sports Sedan. Follow this link if you are looking for information on the 1965 Sports Sedan. The 1966 Daytona Sports Sedan was the last 2-door Daytona model produced by Studebaker before the company ended vehicle production in March 1966. The 1966 Sports Sedan model was produced in very low numbers relative to other models due to its short production run, and as a result is a highly collectable vehicle. As the Sports Sedan was introduced after Studebaker's decision to end manufacturing in the US, all Sports Sedans were produced in

This guide has been created for the 1965 Studebaker Daytona Sports Sedan. Follow this link for information on the later 1966 Studebaker Sports Sedan. The Sports Sedan was Studebaker's only 2-door 'Daytona' model available for the 1965 year, produced alongside the Daytona 4-door sedan and Wagonaire models. The Sports Sedan was produced in relatively low numbers and received a number of unique features compared to other vehicle's in the 1965 range, making it one of the most desirable late model Studebakers. As the Sports Sedans were introduced after Studebaker's decision to end manufacturing in the US, Sports Sedans were all

This identification guide / buyers guide has been written for those interested in the Ford Escort MK1 RS1600 (For the MK1 RS2000, click here). The MK1 RS1600, along with the RS2000, have become very desirable collector cars due to their success in motorsport, most notably in rallying. Like many collector cars, the RS1600 was built on the standard MK1 escort coupe body shell (with some difficult to spot modifications), and therefore, potential for "replicas" of this model to be produced is substantial. This guide attempts to outline essential information about the RS1600, so people can confirm whether the cars they

This identification guide has been drafted for the MK1 Golf GTI “Campaign” edition. The Campaign edition was a final edition model of the MK1 GTI offered in the UK, and was of very similar specification to other final editions offered in several other European markets such as the Golf GTI "Pirelli" edition (Germany) and "Plus" edition (France). Although the specifications of these cars are similar in most respects, the Campaign edition has been separated in this guide for clarity. Note, the standard MK GTI Golf was produced alongside the Campaign GTI until the end of 1983. Follow this link to

This identification guide for the Volkswagen Golf GTI MK1 includes both the 1.6l and 1.8l versions sold mainly throughout Europe and the UK up until December 1983. This guide does not cover special editions of the GTI such as the Campaign / Trophy Edition, the 16v Oettinger, GTI Cabriolet or export (U.S.) market GTIs. Those vehicles will be covered in separate guides. The Golf GTI is widely recognised as the first ever mass appeal “hot hatch”, and continues to attract the attention of enthusiasts and collectors, with prices steadily rising for good original examples, a trend which is expected to

This identification / buyers guide has been written for those interested in the 1967 Shelby GT 500. The 1967 Shelby GT 500 is seen as one of the most desirable, if not the most desirable American production sports car in history, due to its motorsport success, and cult status derived from the 'Gone in 60 Seconds' movie remake. The 1967 GT 500 was produced in fastback form only, however, there was one 1967 GT 5080 convertible prototype made. This convertible is considered particularly special as it was technically the last Shelby Mustang convertible car to come from the Shelby American

This identification / buyers guide has been written for those interested in the 1965 Ford Mustang Shelby GT 350. The 1965 Shelby GT 350 represents one of Americas most desirable muscle cars, and being the first Shelby Mustang it is extremely rare, with very low production numbers. Many features of the GT 350 can however be easily replicated on a standard mustang fastback of the same year, and it is important that as a potential purchaser or restorer that you accurately identify the vehicle. This guide provides a full scope of identification criteria for the Shelby GT 350, including external

This guide has been written to assist people who are looking to purchase an original Mini 1275GT, or are restoring an original 1275GT, and wish to know the original factory specifications of the car. The 1275GT represented a sports offering of the clubman square front Mini, and was sold alongside the higher performing cooper S of of the time. The car is believed to be essentially a replacement of the Mini Cooper. A large number of 1275GT's were built, however, very few survived due to rust issues, and they are considered a very rare car today. The 1275GT was sold

This is an “Identification Guide” / “Buyers Guide” for those interested in the Fiat 695 esse esse Abarth.
