I’ve been fortunate enough to own a number of classic cars thus far in my life. I’ve been even more fortunate in that I’ve driven significantly more classics than just those which I’ve owned myself. Yet – needl […]

Quite clearly two excellent roadtrips and summer holidays! Well done Lars and Rune…
It’s amazing just how much difference your choice of car makes to the trip. Back in February, my family and I drove to […]

Looks like yet another great show, and placed in a lovely setting too.
Both the D-type and the Miura are quite obviously astonishing! At the other end of the spectrum, the story of Kathrine and her Maestro is […] -

It’s intriguing – amusing even – how some people’s cars which were manufactured by the millions and sold for peanuts, have evolved into icons and suddenly command quite attractive prices as classic cars. It’s ev […]

Mmmmmm… always did have a weak spot for a Firenza HP. Like you Claus, I too rather like the design of the stock Firenza too, but with that HP nose cone, it just elevates the car to a different level. […]

What does the family man do when he simply must own a Lamborghini? Compromise on his car dreams? NEVER! Sell the family then? Usually not a popular decision in these politically correct times. But back in 1987 we […]

@niels-v, I could never dream of owning a Tiger without its hardtop firmly in place… ;-)
@andrew, I too agree that it’s most definitely possible to have a whole lot of fun for a lot less than Euro 100k. […]

Anders Bilidt commented on the post, The 100,000 Euro Question 7 years ago
So boiled right down to the bare essence, this posses two hugely interesting questions:
A) Is it better to own one expensive classic car, or several cheaper classic cars? Do we prefer the exotic over variety, or […] -

Hilarious find Dave! :-)
People often talk of making money on classic cars – of how they are an investment. Personally, I have never seen a single one of the classic cars I have owned as such. They have been […] -

@andrew,
Quote: “Verstappen orange and Matra blue” – that has simply got to be the perfect colour combo for any tent! I’m sure the lovely ladies in this Komfort caravan advert would see the allure of such a tent […] -

There’s certainly much to like in your photos @tony-wawryk – thx for sharing… :-)
I agree entirely with you on both the Morgan SLR and the elegant Delehaye 135.
Many of those tin-top touring cars are […] -

Amusing considerations…
While I agree that the XJ6 works astonishingly well both as swb and lwb, I must confess that push comes to shove, I personally prefer an early swb – but only by a smidgon. A very […]

What a gem of a museum! If there’s a theme to it, clearly it’s one of great variety – and not least the peculiar. I like it!
The Monica is just fabulous as are all those FIAT Samanthas. But the car that truly […] -

As SAAB finally shut their doors in 2011, the automotive world was most definitively left a much less interesting place. An innovative manufacturer, which had always dared to stand out, have real character and an […]

Anders Bilidt commented on the post, Prime Find of the Week: Majestic Transport – with or without a Roof 7 years ago
@tony-wawryk, that does indeed make the originals seem even better value than they already were! Which then presents the very obvious question: Will the new Continuations drag up the value of the originals? If […]

There’s much to like here! Again, I’m truly gutted that I couldn’t attend this year…
The pale blue R4 sporting Cibie spots and Gordini alloys looks fab. Same applies to the now-very-rare Simca 1100 GLS […]

Looks every bit the epic event that it was last year.Needless to say, I love the two Imps – no surprises there then…
But the brown Granada Mk1 Estate is […] -
Anders Bilidt commented on the post, To Drive, or not to Drive – That is the (Classic) Question 7 years ago
It is indeed somewhat odd how seemingly common and ordinary cars end up going through a lifetime with virtually no miles being accumulated.

Now I’m not here to judge other enthusiasts. I very much subscribe to the “If it’s your car, you can do with it as you please” mentality. Well, with in reason at least – if someone were to be so misguided as to […]

For starters, what a setting. Doesn’t get much better than this in my opinion.
