Throughout automotive history, marketing departments have truly come up with some pretty wacky ideas. I’m sure none of us are so naive that we don’t realise that the sole intention is of course to sell more car […]

Hmmmm…. if I really had to choose between a 2CV and a R4, I would choose a Dyane 6.

Winter most certainly isn’t over yet! As I write these words here in the UK, light snow crystals are falling outside our living room window as the lawn and roof tops are getting covered in white fluff. In the m […]

Anders Bilidt commented on the post, A Numbers Game 7 years, 6 months ago
Probably the most nerdtastic piece we’ve featured on ViaRETRO to date! Awesome… :-)
The pressure is now on for me to get the numberplates 100% right on the Scimitar, the Elford RX-7 and not least the M535i. […]

@keith-martin, I’m glad you approve of the article. I only wish I could have been there myself as I was in previous years…
@kai, indeed, my old ’77 Toyota Sprinter Trueno 1600GT wasn’t there this year. […]

Very true @claus-ebberfeld.
I’ll get my Esprit S1, you get your Stevens Esprit, and despite our shared passion for the Scimitar, things still won’t get too silly… ;-) -

Geographically Hong Kong is but a tiny spot, but I’m sure anyone who has visited – or actually lived there – will be quick to agree that this small Special Administrative Region of China, with its rich Briti […]

Apologies Claus, but I can’t possibly agree with you on this one.
Well, I suppose I can partially, as I too really like the Stevens facelift of the Esprit. While Giugiaro has of course been widely heralded for […] -

@jakob356, your assessment of how they got the rear wrong on the Ogle Cortina is smack on in my opinion. Amusingly, I also agree with you that the very subtle changes they applied to the front actually worked […]

Anders Bilidt commented on the post, Prime Find of the Week: Estate or Shooting Brake? 7 years, 6 months ago
@tony-wawryk, it’s interesting – if we’re looking at the Viva saloon, then I too prefer the older HB. Especially of course if we’re looking at the rare Brabham model… :-)
But with the estate, I actually think […] -

Shooting brakes are obviously insanely cool, and considering that they are most often based on a sportscar or GT-car of sorts, they’re also relatively practical. Proper estates on the other hand are hugely p […]

It’s no secret that we here on ViaRETRO all have quite a profound fascination with the various Italian carrozzeria of yesteryear. Truth be told, I believe most classic car enthusiasts do. However, we mustn’t forg […]

Anders Bilidt commented on the post, What Does the Maserati 5000 GT Have in Common with the Fiat 126? 7 years, 6 months ago
Sartorelli certainly has quite a broad range to his portfolio. That alone displays great talent!
But besides the one Maserati and all those FIAT’s, he’s also responsible for the Razor Edge Type 34 Karmann Ghia – […] -
Anders Bilidt commented on the post, Double the Spark, Double the Joy 7 years, 6 months ago
Soul-stirring technology indeed, and especially fascinating to think just how early in the automobiles history the twin spark ignition was invented. Much the same could of course be said of both the twincam […]

Anders Bilidt commented on the post, Prime Find of the Week: A Truly Unique Opportunity 7 years, 6 months ago
Certainly an intriguing story.
And like you’ve both said; from some angles the design works remarkably well.
However, I must confess that if the price is anywhere near that Euro 80k, I could personally find many […] -

Most of us are probably confident that we know a thing or two about these old cars which we so love. Having been absorbed and engulfed by all things classic car for more than a quarter of a century now, I’m h […]

@niels-v, I doubt there’s much risk of them ever proclaiming me sane… :-D

@niels-v, Ouuuu… please don’t tempt me Niels!! I would love to add a 700 Sport to the garage, but I’ve currently got all of three projects on the go! That’s probably two more than any sane person would want. […]
