More than 50 years ago, Volvo offered the world a sports car!

This fact could have been relegated to the annals of history, were it not for the fact that it also involved a TV star. Volvo’s sports car co-starred a modern-day Robin Hood named Simon Templar. If that name isn’t familiar to you, the actor who played him should be: Roger Moore. In “The Saint”, Moore and the Volvo P1800 ...

Following the success of the SA and VA saloons, the WA, announced in 1938 at the Motor Show, was to be the largest saloon ever produced by Abingdon. The car was similar in shape to the SA with a quite stunning body, but the interior was much more luxurious and the SA's modified powertrain offered more power.

Presumably MG had taken the large saloon concept far enough with the SA ...

Born in Piscaia, Tuscany, in 1891, Ferdinandi Innocenti began his career by opening a hardware ...
