@claus-ebberfeld, I’ve already booked you in for a test drive… ;-)

@claus-ebberfeld, you’re of course right – the Elford RX-7 rear spoiler is just about perfectly shaped for a ski jump. It’s also almost large enough for a real human being to don his skies and actually ski down […]

HaHaHa… @tony-wawryk, I’ll happily buy tickets for that talk show too… ;-)

@claus-ebberfeld, I’m glad my E12 M535i has hereby received the seal of approval from someone like yourself.

HaHa… @yrhmblhst, it’s a treat having you here on ViaRETRO, as I too learn something new every time I include American cars in an article. Really wasn’t hoping to start a fist fight though – just thought the […]

I for one love youngtimers! But granted, I love classics even more!

Claus, I still remember when you owned your Legend. The thing is, I’ve always admired its elegant roofline and slim roof pillars. Such a […]

@tony-wawryk, and so I planted a seed… ;-)

@gteglman, sounds like a cunning plan!

@tony-wawryk, are you sure you want to postpone it until next year? By then, EUR 49k might be the norm for a clean and tidy Manta A, and you will have missed the boat….

Another big Manta A fan checking in here. I’ve always really liked the styling – a very handsome and sleek coupé with a look very much of its own.

@tony-wawryk, the comparison with the Giulia Bertone probably […]

A tragic story which of course only becomes more interesting with all the conspiracy theories. And while it of course adds some mystique to the Facel Vega, it’s such a grand GT in its own right that it really […]

@tony-wawryk, great follow up on our huge expose last December! And well done on further strengthening ViaRETRO’s close relationship and shared enthusiasm for classic cars with Saint Nick… ;-)

@gteglman, […]

@yrhmblhst, HaHa… you’re probably right… :-D

I don’t know near enough about Opels of this era to contribute towards the discussion above, but I do know there’s a fabulous atmosphere in the picture which I […]

@niels-jonassen, it’s adjusting your history to fit the PR picture you wish to portray now. Sadly it’s often done, as sales count for more than does respect for historical correctness…

I’ll give the elitist snobbery a pass thank you very much, and instead happily drive a evergreen MGB while wearing my tweed… :-)

@gteglman,

“Any classic car is better than no classic car”

That is after all the very ethos of ViaRETRO!
To be honest with you, there’s a part of me that would genuinely like to try to own a ‘B’. It’s suc […]

@tony-wawryk, there’s certainly no need for you to defend yourself. We’re probably all guilty to some extent of writing off the MGB merely because they’re so common. I know I certainly have in the past, and […]

No no Claus, not “4.24” – that’s a four door saloon. And if we’re going there, then I’d rather have the “430”.
The one I want is still a two door, hence it’s called the “2.24v”.
Of course there’s also the […]

This would do quite nicely for me thank you… ;-)
