Comments & clarifications

CITROËN VS JAGUAR • Futuristic déesse and traditional Mk1 offer differing ideas of luxury

Unlock the legacy of Classic & Sports Car

Peaky blinder • Half a century after Pininfarina’s gorgeous 308 hit the market, an open GTS is the perfect steed for an epic road trip back to its homeland

“Applying the aerodynamics of a racer to a road car is stupid” • Leonardo Fioravanti doesn’t mince his words on modern Ferrari design, but then he is responsible for some of Maranello’s all-time greats…

FIORAVANTI’S GREATEST HITS

Life on the limit • Far from a fragile prima donna, this competition-veteran 308GTB is proof that the glassfibre-bodied Ferrari has a heart of steel

CU TO SHAPE • Buick’s daring Riviera redrew the American personal car for the 1960s, with an appeal that matched even Mercedes-Benz

On the TRAIL of the TRIAL • This automotive pioneer was built during the reign of Queen Victoria, and is soon to star in a tribute to an event it first entered 125 years ago

Open goal • Porsche’s early quest for a drop-top 911 spawned the innovative targa, and the solution has endured – and evolved – ever since

Empire of the Sunbeam • An unlikely producer of rally machines that made their mark on the gruelling European circuit, Sunbeam-Talbot retains a small but highly loyal following today

SALOON SELECTIVES • Triumph’s foray into medium family cars with aspirations of grandeur was tactful, but the bloodline was sadly cut short
