@claus-ebberfeld, please note that what you are probably thinking is merely a second-generation Celica Liftback, is in fact the super rare first-generation Supra. From the A-pillars and back it shared all sheet […]

@gteglman, I’m convinced this 304SL Break would make an excellent daily classic. The Peugeot’s of this era are probably as indestructible as any car has ever been – right up there with the Volvo’s and […]

@yrhmblhst, I’m with you all the way on that ’67 Impala. Such a fabulous design!
I’m glad we also agree on the AC Aceca, where we happen to agree on the red colour too. It would probably be my least favourite […]

Thx @mike-foley! :-) Even if the Scimitar isn’t my first fibreglass car… Remember, I also have the Rochdale Olympic. However, the Scimitar is of course my first fully functioning and usable fibreglass car, […]

Whoooaar… @tony-wawryk and @paul-hill, looks like you had a grand day out!
The pictures capture a fabulous atmosphere at Brooklands, and there is just so much eye-candy to admire. I barely know where to […]

@dave-leadbetter, I bow my head honour and acknowledge that my sideburns will never be able to match yours…

@gteglman, right now there are more important projects I want to sort on the Scimitar – such as […]

@tony-wawryk, okay, so now it’s neither brown, maroon or purple – it’s apparently plum…
:-D Well, regardless what we decide to call the colour, I just think it looks great on the Scimitar…

@gteglman, I […]

I have thus far never owned an offroader of any type, but I must confess that I would like to. Naturally though, it would have to be a classic offroader!
I actually quite like the styling of the Safari, and […]

Dear Gentlemen,
Thank you for all your enthusiastic and supportive comments!

@yrhmblhst and @ole-wichmann, oh, please don’t ruin the illusion for me. Of course there’s an element of brown to my apparently […]

An interesting thought Søren. That first Ibiza seems to have been all but forgotten nowadays…
To be honest though, I actually remember quite liking the first Ibiza back when it was introduced. While there’s […]

I am utterly convinced that I do NOT need a four-legged Haflinger.
I’m somewhat less sure about the four-wheeled one…??
Well, I clearly don’t really and actually need one, but despite having no proper use for […]

@claus-ebberfeld, because clearly at this point in my life, all I really need is a tow bar…

@tony-wawryk, of course it does! That too is part of enjoying our hobby.
As an added bonus, all of our ViaRETRO readers benefit from your Christmas present too. If that’s not spreading the love than I just […]

@epk, sounds like you and your family had a blast this summer. It’s perfect when we can combine our passion for classic cars with great experiences with those we love. I’m sure your family and you will equally […]

@yrhmblhst, we all hope you had a merry one in the US too… ;-)

I was travelling through Germany in the days leading up to Christmas when I came across the latest Oldtimer Markt at a newsagent. On the cover was a rather brutal looking Opel Manta A, so needless to say, I bought […]

A beautiful message indeed.
One which I even choose to follow myself this year! More on that in another article in the very near future… ;-)
