A look at some cool old cars you might not know about. These aren't your everyday rides - they're special machines with interesting stories.
First up is the Bristol 412, a fancy British car from the 1970s. It was made by a company that used to build airplanes! The 412 had a unique roof you could take off and store in the trunk. Only 98 were ever made, so spotting one today is super rare.
Next, we've got the Ginetta G21. This little sports car was built by a small British company in the early 1970s. It was designed to be fun to drive but also practical enough for everyday use. Ginetta only made about 80 of these, so they're pretty hard to find now.
The Panther J72 is another cool British car from the 1970s. It looked like an old-fashioned 1930s sports car but had modern engines under the hood. Each one was built by hand, making them extra special.
Moving on to France, we have the Panhard PL 17. This car was super light and aerodynamic, which made it really fuel-efficient. It even won a big rally race in 1961! Sadly, the company that made it went out of business not long after.
From America, there's the Ford LTD LX. This was a family car with a muscle car heart. Ford only made about 3,260 of them in 1984 and 1985, so they're pretty uncommon today.
The TVR Tasmin is another British sports car that's often forgotten. It had a wedge-shaped design that was really futuristic for its time. TVR was a small company, so they didn't make too many of these.
Let's not forget the Triumph Acclaim. This was actually based on a Honda design, which was pretty unusual for a British car back then. It was reliable and popular, but not many have survived to today.
We'll also check out the Toyota 2000GT, Japan's first supercar. Only 337 were ever made, and they're worth millions now! It even starred in a James Bond movie.
Finally, there's the Jaguar XJ12, a luxury car with a massive 12-cylinder engine. It was super fast for its size but used a ton of gas. That, plus its high price, means not many were sold.
These cars might be rare, but they each have a great story to tell. They show how car makers tried new ideas and pushed boundaries. Whether you're into sports cars, luxury rides, or just cool engineering, there's something here for everyone.

Toyota GT was the most beautiful japanese car of forever
-
TVR Tasmin, 3000 and Taimar are beautiful car for the 80s and for a small factory, but should be better with a comfortable 2+2 layout.
-
Marcos Mantis : the best rear and the worst front in one single car of all the times...
-
What is so rare about the Jaguar XJ12? there are plenty on the road. Also why the cut to a Lambo Muira in the segment of the Toyota GT 2000?
-
Bristol 412 or Beaufighter should be a decent car with this Zagato body and a normal roof top like a Brigand Britannia coupe', strange the choice of a not nice targa top
-
What about the Quattroporte ll? Or the fabulous Ligier JS2 from the same era?
-
Triumph Acclaim is not so bad, maybe is too 70s style in the 80s....
-
Triumph acclaim isn’t rare I’ve seen loads on the road Rarer than other triumphs I suppose though
