Today in the US, if you mention British bikes, Triumph is the first name that comes to mind. But it’s just one of several motorcycle brands that’ve sprung from the UK. While many have fallen into history’s pages, some, like BSA, have returned. It’s a similar story with another British marque, Clews Competition Motorcycles, aka …

If you’re thinking about going off-roading on a motorcycle, buying a used one is a great way to save some cash. But there’s used, and then there’s classic. Naturally, the idea of taking a vintage bike off-road can seem rather daunting. However, while they don’t offer all the latest modern conveniences, some classic motorcycles are …

‘They don’t build them like they used to’ is a common phrase when people look at classic cars. And to be fair, for the most part, that’s actually for the better. Modern cars are more reliable and generally built to higher quality standards. However, for a small handful of vintage luxury cars, the expression still …

While the Shelby company helped tune a lot of cars over the years, few are as well-represented as the Mustang. And though Shelby American isn’t directly involved with the modern GT500 Mustang, Carroll would likely be proud of the muscle car’s supercar-slaying performance. But while the current-gen car more than lives up to the nameplate, …

As important as the Rubicon Trail is to Jeep fans, there’s one place that arguably matches it: Moab, Utah. Every year since 1967—except for 2020, due to the pandemic—the brand faithful gather here for the Easter Jeep Safari. And to celebrate their loyalty, since 2002 the automaker has brought along a selection of concepts to …

Over here in the US, the Abarth name is mostly associated with the Fiat 500 and the 124 Spider. However, Carlo Abarth tuned a wide variety of cars back in the day, many of which were never officially sold here. And among them was a little Italian hatchback called the Autobianchi A112. The Autobianchi A112 …

Even if you’re not restomodding it, rethinking or remaking a classic car isn’t unheard of. Fritz Egli did it to the Vincent Black Shadow, as did MST with the Mk2 Ford Escort. One German firm even reimagined the Bugatti Type 35. But arguably, for these ‘modern classics’ to be truly up-to-date, electric is the way …

It’s arguably better-known for bikes like the Bonneville today, but Triumph made cars, too, once upon a time. And in competing with fellow British automaker MG, it developed a wide array of beloved sporty roadsters. But while some of these models can command a premium, there are still some affordable ones out there. This week’s …

Motorcycle and car museums, even when viewed virtually, allow access to historic and classic vehicles that you’d never see otherwise. This is why it’s such a tragedy when one of these museums is lost. Such was the case with the Top Point Crosspoint Motorcycle Museum, which went down in flames a few months ago. We …

Even luxury vehicles can become more accessible through car lease programs. Not only can this make owning one more affordable, but it also lets you swap out for the latest model. But what if you wanted to experience something older? Or perhaps more exclusive? Well, that’s one Connecticut-based company wants to do with its new …

Ralph Nader’s book Unsafe at Any Speed ushered in a new era of automotive safety, especially in the US. And it also featured heavily in the history of one classic Chevrolet: the often-misunderstood Corvair. But despite the Corvair’s reputation for danger, it still has plenty of ardent fans; Jay Leno is one of them. And …

While the Super Cub has certainly cemented itself in motorcycle history, it’s not the only influential Honda bike. The CB750, for example, was the first motorcycle called a ‘superbike.’ Then there’s the GB500 Tourist Trophy, which previewed the modern café racer trend by over a decade. This week’s Bring a Trailer bargain, though, is more …

Auction sites like Cars and Bids are a great tool for those searching for their next car. Especially for those after a classic vehicle, or a performance-oriented modern one. The former one especially comes in handy for those wishing to bring in something for Radwood. This is why the car festival’s organizers have started an …

When one of your latest cars is so fast that its hubcaps come off, that’s a proper sign of performance dedication. And AMG has been doing that to Mercedes-Benz’s cars for decades, plus a brief dalliance with Mitsubishi. This legacy was kick-started by one very special sedan: the Mercedes 300 SEL 6.8, aka the ‘Red …

Café racers are some of the most popular kinds of retro motorcycles on sale today. And while some are purely about the aesthetic, others, like the Triumph Thruxton RS, channel the performance spirit of their ancestors. But for Jay Leno, there’s one bike that stands above the rest: the Egli-Vincent by Patrick Godet. A Patrick …

As spring approaches, the entire country has been experiencing some crazy weather. It was 73 here in Asheville, NC, on Sunday, and today it’s 34! Texas was shut down by snow, and a family in Tenessee faced raging floodwaters in their Ram 1500. However, luckily the family of five, which included an infant, was rescued …

Even off-road-focused SUVs have V8 fever, it seems. Not only is Land Rover putting one in the 2022 Defender, but the company is also making a limited run of V8-powered classic Defenders. Jeep recently joined with the Wrangler 392, while the V8’s been a Mercedes G-Wagon staple for years. But all of these four-wheel-drive SUVs …

Besides finding bargains, auctions offer opportunities to own some truly rare cars. That means everything from hypercars like the Koenigsegg Regera to a US-market Unimog. And it also includes special variants of already iconic classics. One such opportunity is coming up this March: the only remaining Shelby Cobra 427 Super Snake. The Shelby Cobra 427 …

Rallying, like many other forms of automotive racing, makes automakers pursue intriguing and oftentimes kooky solutions to speed. Renault, for example, turned a front-engine, FWD hatchback into a mid-engine RWD one. The Citroen 2CV Sahara has 4WD and two engines. And the Lancia Delta Integrale’s predecessor, the Delta S4, had both a turbocharger and a …

While riding a classic motorcycle can certainly be fun, it requires some additional upkeep compared to a modern one. Classic bikes have carburetors, for one, as well as older ignition systems and brake designs. Admittedly, you can upgrade or swap out these vintage components for modern parts that require less maintenance. But what about ditching …
