@tony-wawryk and @yrhmblhst, you’re pulling in separate directions and I’m thus still stuck on this damned fence…

Indeed @tony-wawryk, the original Elite is not just a hugely innovative construction, but also immensely beautiful. But as with so many of Chapman’s idea’s, being a leading force with new technology brings both […]

A sporty, aggressive and macho look. Mmmmm… we like that! And probably the easiest way to achieve it, is by simply tacking on a set of wide wheel arches. Presto! You’ve got yourself a virtual race car for the s […]

During the early fifties, the entire western world was still recovering from the Second World War. It was a slow and challenging process, yet there was a newfound optimism in the future which lie ahead. […]

But Claus, don’t Emmanuelle and the R107 both perfectly exemplify that every day doesn’t need to be a sportscar? Sometimes it’s actually rather pleasant to try something different, more comfortable and relaxed…

Okay, I have a confession to make: I have a serious weak spot for the first-generation VW Polo. It’s always Giugiaro’s original Golf which steals all the limelight, but I actually think the Polo is much more […]

Well, I knew about the “ordinary” Alfa Romeo Dauphine, but had never heard of Michelotti’s wacky coupé. What an entirely bonkers creation! Draw a vertical line down the B-pillar, and I would be convinced that […]

There’s nothing quite like a concept car to prove that you can indeed mix the exotic and exquisite with the practical and mundane. Why should fancy gullwing doors be reserved for likes of the fabulous […]

Fascinating!
Nice to know that I’m now well-prepared for my next cocktail party. I’m sure I’ll impress everyone there was my newfound knowledge… -
Anders Bilidt commented on the post, Hands-on Enthusiasm at the Classic Car and Restoration Show 7 years, 4 months ago
Whooooaar… looks like a fabulous exhibition! I’m now genuinely dismayed that I was unable to attend. Lots of eye-candy there, and great with a show which is not all shine and glamour.
Yes @tony-wawryk, […]

Anders Bilidt commented on the post, Prime Find of the Week: Gallic Classic at Entry Level 7 years, 4 months ago
I quite like Renaults of this era, but the R10 has never really appealed as much to me. It’s just not as pretty or charming as the Dauphine or the R8. But I must admit that this particular example has me […]

Maybe you’re right Claus. Maybe it would have already sold if it were such a great buy. Or maybe the Starion is just an entirely misunderstood and under appreciated car?? – which I think is especially the case […]

Anders Bilidt commented on the post, SAAB 95: A Family Estate Car on a Monte Carlo Mission 7 years, 4 months ago
@kjeld-jensen, while it is of course Claus who wrote this piece, I presume that Saab rallied the estate rather than the saloon due to homologation issues. Simply installing the engine and transmission from an […]

In this vast world of classic cars, there are whole groups of cars that for whichever reason just haven’t been fully accepted yet. They are the outsiders. Probably the biggest single group of such outsiders are J […]

Hmmmm… I’ve always really wanted to own a 2-stroke SAAB some day.
Perhaps I should aim for a 95 and then take it rallying? -
Anders Bilidt commented on the post, Movie: The Longest Car Chase in Hollywood 7 years, 4 months ago
@christianv, but driving a Challenger fast across a dessert all on your own is hardly a car chase. Of course there are several smaller chases in Vanishing Point, but in terms of one unbroken sequence, the […]

HeHe… an amusing story – thx @michael-lund . :-)
Contrary to @tony-wawryk, I have always quite liked the Ritmo. Despite recycled Russian steel and an old FIAT 128 chassis, it’s still sufficiently quirky to […]
