Triumph Spitfire, GT-6. The whole front end tilts up. I would sit on the front tire and adjust the valve clearances (solid lifters!) You could pull the transmission out of the car from the inside. I could remove the transmission in less than 20 minutes. Of course the other thing is there was a lot less under the bonnet than cars today.
To a lessor extent, Jaguar E-Type, doesn't tilt as much and some things are hard to get to. My father had one and he had to pull the engine to access the starter.
