Despite shaky beginnings fraught with hasty decisions as an evolution of the Austin-Healey 3000 MkIII, the MG MGC is today a respectable late-60s British sports car that is far more scarce—and affordable—than the big Healey. The handsome 2+2 coupé variant, the Pininfarina-designed GT, is even harder to find. A rust-free, well-sorted example is something of a unicorn. This one, looking fresh in its classic Primrose Yellow over tan with the 15″ wire knock-offs, also has overdrive along with the rare 3.7 differential. Find it here on Craigslist for a reasonable $20,000.
The S-Class has always played an important role for Mercedes-AMG. More than 50 years ago, the founders proved they could transform a luxury sedan into a very sporty vehicle with the Swabian spirit of innovation. The performance and sports car brand from Affalterbach set its first milestone in 1971 with the Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.8 AMG. Today, the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE with AMG performance hybrid technology once again sets the benchmark in the segment. The E PERFORMANCE model combines the Handcrafted AMG 4.0L V8 Biturbo engine with an AMG-specific hybrid powertrain and a new expansion stage of the AMG high-performance battery (HPB). The new HPB 150 is based on the high- performance and directly cooled battery cells of the well-known HPB 80. The energy content increases from 6.1 kWh in the HPB 80 to 13.1 kWh in the HPB 150.

Here’s one you don’t see everyday: a 1994 TVR Chimera imported from the UK but now titled in the U.S. As such, it’s a right-hand driver. The original 4.0 Rover V8 has been rebuilt as a 4.6, along with other tasteful modifications but it retains its 5-speed manual gearbox with limited slip. Chimeras—TVRs in general—are a blast to drive and the mods on this one will only make it more so. That said, this one looks to have been treated kindly with a modest 61,000 miles on the clock. Find it on Cars & Bids. Bidding is currently at $9,400 ending December 6 at 1:30 p.m. EST.
A well-kept G-Modell with under 60,000 miles for less than 40 grand. Nothing more needs to be said. Find it here on Craigslist for $39,500.

Turin, December 1, 2022 – FIAT Metaverse Store is the world’s first metaverse-powered interactive showroom, which makes the brand a front-runner in offering an immersive and simple brand experience. The technology launched by FIAT is, the first of its kind to power an end-to-end sales experience in the metaverse, revolutionizing the brand’s entire customer experience. The Metaverse Store features FIAT’s Product Genius – a real person – who is available to answer any customer question in real-time.
“At FIAT we are once again the front-runners in offering our customers an innovative and stress-free brand experience. In pure FIAT style, the FIAT Metaverse Store is the first of its kind in the automotive sector. It is a magical experience: an immersive human-driven journey into the world of FIAT. Simple and user-friendly, pursuing the idea of “tech it easy”, and accessible for everyone, thanks to its technology” – stated Olivier Francois, FIAT CEO and Global Stellantis CMO. – “In short, it’s our way of making our customer’s experience tailormade thanks to the interaction with a person and even more simple which is in line with our social mission of meeting people’s current need for a simplified life. For the first time, our customers will be able to explore and purchase the New 500 La Prima by Bocelli from the comfort of their homes thanks to a human assisted, instantaneous, realistic, and stress-free process. This one-of-a-kind experience will be extended to the whole New 500 line-up by the end of 2022. By the first semester of 2023, customers will be able to explore a variety of models in the Metaverse Store; in line with this, starting from Italy, our revolutionary customer journey will be available in other markets.”
FIAT Metaverse Store has been developed in collaboration with Touchcast and Microsoft, who designed the experience for the FIAT Brand. Touchcast’s Metaverse-as-a-Service platform is built on the Microsoft Cloud, and provides customers with access to the metaverse without requiring VR headsets, avatars or specialized hardware. The result is the synthesis of digital and physical into an immersive experience unlike any other.
The FIAT Metaverse Store can instantly transport the customer “inside” FIAT. Once inside, the Product Genius welcomes the customer, and together they can explore the car in sweeping 360-degree views and learn about its technology, address any questions about electric mobility, recharging and any contents of the New 500. Furthermore, the customer can take a look up close at how the Infotainment and the different driving and EV charging modes work. The client can also customize the model by choosing its body, color, interiors, and any other desired feature and literally see those changing in real-time. Furthermore, FIAT’s completely immersive tool allows one to recreate a driving experience on board the New 500 La Prima by Bocelli on La Pista 500, the track on the roof of the Lingotto building in Turin.
To meet customers’ needs and adapt to their free time, the Product Genius is always available, Monday to Friday from 9 AM to 8 PM and Saturday from 10 AM to 6 PM.
With the new FIAT Metaverse Store, the Brand continues its path towards a lean yet innovative customer journey, in a continuation of the simplification strategy which began just a few weeks ago with the configuration of its new lineup.
The entirely online experience is also complemented by a physical one, as the customer can decide to go to the nearest dealership for a test drive.
