@nick-campbell, what you have there is quite possibly – to me at least – the very ultimate TVR wedge. I’ve always been more of a fhc guy than I have been a dhc guy – regardless of marque and model, I love the […]

Sounds like a no brainer then – Claus go ahead, build yourself that V8-powered Bobcat… :-D

@michael-s-lund, the yellow T5-R estate is of course the most legendary of all 850’s. But I still think my C70 looks a lot better… ;-)

@tony-wawryk. those pre-’68 144’s are by far the best looking imho. […]

Excellent and very descriptive article Michael – thx!
While I’ve previously visited the Saab museum, I have yet to experience the Volvo museum. As a good Scandinavian, I feel I really should tick that box some […]

@roger-loop, Welcome to ViaRETRO! :-)
I’m glad even an owner – and clearly enthusiastic club member – was able to enjoy to article.

First of all, you are of course right about joining an owner’s club. I […]

And so the indoor season of classic car exhibitions begins…

Great report – thx David! :-)
It’ll be interesting to see whether they can keep this event going when they’re up against the bigger and well […]

@yrhmblhst, I agree with everything you’ve just said here. I too really like the Jensen Healey’s and actually even more so the GT, which is a super rare and really interesting alternative to the Scimitar. Would […]

Hmmm… it’s funny… I love wedge designs. I also fully acknowledge that the Carabo is a true icon. Yet, we shouldn’t forget which car it’s based upon. And that’s the Carabo’s downfall, as it will never come […]

@claus-ebberfeld,

quote: “I think it just might work best in desert surroundings. And with large amounts of beer.”

It’s funny you should say that, because that is in fact precisely what Chris and I are […]

HaHa… come on @yrhmblhst, have some faith in the X2… ;-)

I couldn’t agree more @tony-wawryk.
When the day comes where Claus and I decide to sell our 1st gen. RX-7, I could easily see myself opting for a RO80 to replace it, and thereby keeping a Wankel in the garage… ;-)

Quite a pretty and harmonious design – despite the slightly tall roofline. I really like it!
Which shouldn’t come as much as a surprise considering its Michelotti heritage. He might not have given us the most […]

@tony-wawryk, HeHe… funny that we both stumbled over this fabulous GT. I think those 75grand + Indy’s are the concours cars which attend various well-kept lawns. This one on the flipside is clearly a driver. […]

Mmmmmmm… a favourite theme of mine: Classic cars and aviation tied into one. :-)

@red-baron, you’re certainly not wrong there! No other automobile marque has quite as strong ties with aviation. But which […]

@claus-ebberfeld, HaHaHa… what is it with you and @tony-wawryk ??
I strongly doubt it’ll be finished for this coming summer. After all, while Keith is making good progress with the shell, we also need to look […]

@jtct, welcome to ViaRETRO! :-)
I’m glad that another Hino Contessa owner has found this article…

As for getting your beloved Contessa back on the road, in my humble opinion (for whatever it’s worth…), […]
