This identification guide / buyers guide has been drafted for people who are interested in the BMW 2002 Tii. The Tii (which stands for “Touring International Injection) represents one of the most desirable cars in the 2002 or “new class” range, and demand a price premium above standard 2002 coupe models. It is therefore important that those looking at purchasing or restoring these cars have a good understanding of the individual characteristics that make a BMW Tii original. Please note that this guide has been produced for the Tii Coupe, however, much of the criteria for identification of an original

This identification guide has been drafted for those interested in the Mercedes Benz 190E 2.5-16 valve, also known as the "Cosworth" Mercedes. These cars represent the highest spec 190E available between 1988 and 1993, prior to being superseded by the Evo I and II 16-valve cars, and are widely considered modern classic. The 2.5-16 190E’s commands a premium price well above the standard 190E sedans on which they are based. As a result, it is important to be aware of the features which confirm a car is genuine in order to make the right purchase decision. This guide provides information

This identification / buyers guide has been drafted for those interested in the Mercedes Benz 190E 2.3 - 16 valve, otherwise known as the "Cosworth" Mercedes. These cars represent the highest spec 190E available between 1984 and 1988, prior to being superseded by the 2.5-16, and are considered by many to be a likely future classic car. Although a reasonably large number of 2.3 - 16 190E’s were produced, they do command a premium price well above the standard 190E sedans on which they are based. As a result, it is important to be aware of the features which confirm

This vehicle ID guide / buyers guide has been developed for those interested in the final series Leyland Mini Moke Californian. In particular, this guide focuses on the top model with the 1275cc engine and disc brakes produced from 1978 – 1982. Separate guides will shortly be developed for earlier 1275 Californian Mokes, as well as the 998cc Californian Mokes. The 1275 Californian Moke of 1978 – 1982 represents one of the most desirable cars in the Australian Moke range, available with the highest equipment and engine specifications, making the cars increasingly collectable today, often demanding prices not too far

This guide has been written for the Series 1.5 E-Type (XK-E) Jaguar, referring specifically to the 1968 model year vehicles produced for the US and Canadian markets. With respect to right hand drive ("RHD") markets, we have undertaken a large survey of vehicles and concluded that RHD markets did not receive the Series 1.5 specification cars throughout the 1968 model year. Rather, RHD markets received a closer continuation of the Series 1, known unofficially as the Series 1.25 (essentially a Series 1 vehicle in every respect, with the exception of open headlights).

This guide has been written for the Series 1 E-Type Jaguar (known as the XK-E in the US) produced between 1961 and 1967, and covers both the 3.8l and 4.2l cars. The Series 1 cars are particularly desirable, and typically demand higher prices than later series vehicles in the E-Type range, being seen by enthusiasts as the most asthetically and mechanically pure vehicles. For clarity in understanding the vehicles covered in this guide, it is important to note that several changes occurred to the E-Type from August 1967, and cars made between August 1967 and throughout 1968 are regarded as

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
