@yrhmblhst, not wanting to start a false rumour, but regarding that blue bubbletop Impala, I even overheard someone say that this was the actual car which Gurney raced in Europe in period. Whether that’s true, I […]

Anders Bilidt commented on the post, A Big No Thank You to Red Piping 7 years, 10 months ago
I remember seeing a late-nineties BMW which was turquoise with an off-white leather interior with contrasting turquoise piping. Yup, it was decidedly wommit-inducing…

Anders Bilidt commented on the post, The first Aston Martin DP: 212 7 years, 10 months ago
@yrhmblhst, hmmmm… the wheelbase of the Aston Martin is just a bit too short… or maybe the overhangs are just too long… or perhaps it is in fact a combination of both…?? You decide. ;-) Either way, this […]

@yrhmblhst, I was getting worried that it might have been something I said…?? ;-)
Yes, your absence was indeed noted – after all, what would ViaRETRO be without our favourite US commentator?
I hope you didn’t […] -
Anders Bilidt commented on the post, Prime Find of the Week: Londonderry Landcrab 7 years, 10 months ago
Certainly looks like a tidy example Tony. And yes, a Landcrab is proof that BL did in fact get it right on some occasions. Still, I probably wouldn’t buy one myself. But I could probably be tempted into the big […]

@jakob356, I agree fully – the RBW really doesn’t look particularly tasteful and or big money.
@rob, perfectly formulated! I wrote a whole article, and you just summed it up much better in a mere seven lines […]

Much to my dismay, it would appear that the oncoming world domination of the electrical vehicle is inevitable. As more and more car manufacturers are turning their attention from fossil fuels to this hocus-pocus […]

I’ve been lucky enough to be invited inside BMW Group Classic on four occasions – every time while taking part in the epic Bavaria Tours arranged by the German BMW 02 Club in 2002, 2006, 2011 and 2016. On the […]

A truly fabulous piece of Aston Martin history!
I’ve witnessed Wolfgang Friedrichs beautiful DP212 at full throttle on numerous occasions at the Oldtimer Grand Prix on the Nürburgring. Simply glorious!
And […] -
Anders Bilidt commented on the post, Trapeze and Safety 7 years, 10 months ago
There are indeed similarities with the Stratos. Okay, so the Trapeze is not quite as dramatic and sharp, but still extremely cool. And with its more smooth appearance, the equally smooth rotary engine seems a […]

@rajendran, sorry but we don’t stock or sell these catalytic converters. I’m sure if you google it, you should be able to come up with something. Best of luck! And if you manage to get one for your Alfa Romeo, […]

Anders Bilidt commented on the post, Jaguarman – or Maseratiman? 7 years, 10 months ago
While I’ve never owned a Jaguar myself (yet), I find the vast majority of their older models very appealing! My father used to own a nice XJ40, and I had access to a friends 420G for a while. Both lovely cars. […]

Anders Bilidt commented on the post, A Big No Thank You to Red Piping 7 years, 10 months ago
A controversial subject considering just how many classics I see with contrasting piping on their seats. Yet, I must agree wholeheartedly! I’m not a big fan of the look either. It does indeed look rather […]

Just because a given model is rare, doesn’t mean it’s necessarily sought after. And just because it isn’t universally sought after, doesn’t mean it isn’t amazingly cool. Need proof? Look no further. […]

Despite being a non-competitive event, it still looks like a brilliant way to spend the weekend. Lots and lots of cool cars there.
It’s always good to see Tim Carpenter’s amazing Unipower! And being the […] -

Masses of passionate enthusiasts fly in for the annual Goodwood Revival. Even more drive to the Goodwood Estate in the south of England in their modern daily car. But there are also a surprisingly large number who […]

Bizarrely – despite having lived in Hamburg – I just never managed to attend the Stadtpark Revival. It’s something I’ve always […]
