The 1999 Heritage edition is one of the most distinctive limited-run Defenders. Just 270 were built for the UK market, consisting of 189 Defender 90s and 81 110s, and all were finished in either Atlantic Green (light) or Bronze Green (dark).

To echo the look of early Land Rovers, the Heritage models were given:

• Body-colour alloy wheels
• A dummy wire-mesh grille
• Silver-painted exterior details suggesting the galvanised metalwork of earlier Series models
• Special interior trim with leather upholstery

The new Factory-Original Land Rover Defender documents all of the Defender's special editions, from 1990 to 2016.

A rare survivor from the coachbuilt era.
This 1933 Rolls-Royce 20/25, chassis GYZ8, carries a beautifully proportioned Sedanca de Ville body by Offord. Only six Offord bodies are known to have been fitted to the small-horsepower Rolls-Royce models, and this is one of the very few that remain.

Offord & Sons began in 1791 as a carriage-maker and later became known for elegant, carefully detailed coachwork. Much of its production in the 1930s was subcontracted to other London coachbuilders, but its designs always retained the distinctive Offord character.

This car, delivered in August 1933, is one of the highlights featured in Coachwork on Rolls-Royce Twenty, 20/25, 25/30 and Wraith by James Taylor, a richly illustrated guide to the coachbuilt Rolls-Royces of the interwar years.

Half price for Christmas: £25.00 (RRP £50.00)

The Mk1 Mini Estate arrived in 1960 as the Austin Se7en Countryman and Morris Mini Traveller, built on the longer commercial Mini platform with a wheelbase four inches longer and an overall length nearly ten inches greater than the saloon. Practicality was the whole point – fold the rear seat and you had up to 35 cu ft of load space, making it one of the most useful Minis ever produced.

Both versions were offered with the now-famous wood trim, with an all-metal option following from 1961 (and in the UK from 1962). Sliding rear windows, twin side-hinged rear doors and the trusty 848cc A-series engine completed the package, giving families a charming and surprisingly versatile Mini that could carry almost anything.

If you’d like the full story of the Countryman, Traveller and over 500 Mini variants, 'The Complete Catalogue of the Mini' is in our Christmas Sale at £27.50 – a saving of over 30% off the £40 RRP, and cheaper than Amazon.

Dyane Caban (1977)
One of the rarest Citroën special editions — and one that even lifelong 2CV fans often haven’t seen.

Released for the French market in late 1977, the Caban was finished in Bleu Marine with bold white coachlines, a white roof, and its distinctive Caban graphics on the doors and tailgate. The name comes from the traditional French caban — a sailor’s pea-coat — which suited the car’s nautical, seaside feel. Citroën built only around 1500 Cabans, a very small run by their standards.

The new Complete Catalogue of the Citroën 2CV covers the Caban in full detail, along with every 2CV, Dyane, Ami and Méhari variant, including the obscure export models and all the special editions.

A selection of the Abingdon team involved in the creation of EX172, the streamlined MG prepared for George Phillips to take to Le Mans in 1951.

Behind the wheel is Alec Hounslow; standing left to right are Gerald Wiffen, Henry Stone, Syd Enever, Wally Kinsey (who crafted the body), Reg Avenall, Johnny Crook, and an unknown member of the Experimental Department.
(Enever Archive)

EX172 was an important stepping stone on the path that ultimately led to the MGA — and a perfect example of the quiet but brilliant engineering culture that Syd Enever shaped at MG.

Syd Enever – The MG Man tells the full story, with rare photographs and detailed new research by David Knowles.
