@jim-gerock, bucketlist indeed! As I’m sure you gathered from my excitement in the article, the Revival comes with my most sincere recommendations…

Hmmmm… I still want both!
An early 450SLC and a late Vitesse please… -

@niels-v, there is no doubt an element of herd mentality. Why is that I wonder? Maybe simply because E-types, 911’s and apparently all Ferrari’s are utterly fabulous, so it’s only natural that everyone loves them. […]

Noooooo….!!!
Claus, how dare you post something like this? What were you thinking? Oh-so tempting…
I might have sold my beloved little Sunbeam Imp Sport more than ten years ago now, but I still swear that […] -

@niels-v, you’re right – you absolutely should experience the Revival ‘live’ one day. I honestly think that every classic car enthusiast ought to. There’s nothing else quite like it…
As for the 904, that’s […]

@tony-wawryk, there were in fact three 904’s! – and of course the two 910’s.
And they weren’t even the most expensive on the circuit. On the one side, I obviously understand your concern about such rare and […] -

The very first race meeting was held at the Goodwood Motor Circuit on the 18th September 1948. After the circuit being closed in 1966, the Duke of Richmond finally succeeded in bringing motorsport back to this […]

Anders Bilidt commented on the post, An E-type Kind of Weekend 7 years, 11 months ago
Tony, what an excellent way to get a new classic car experience – something which differs from the one parked up in our own garage. After all, there’s no way I will ever get to own every classic car I dream […]

Sounds like you had a cracking day out! :-)
Perhaps I should join you for your next autojumble? 1) In order to have a bit of a clear out from my own garage, and 2) to give you a bit of competition… -

@yrhmblhst, don’t you worry – there will naturally be a full report from the Revival.
Just need to sift through the 1800 pictures (!!) I took over the weekend. In the meantime, you could always re-visit our […] -

So obviously the only REALÂ Porsches are those with an air-cooled flat-6 hanging behind the rear axle, right? Wrong! Anyone who truly believes that, are most likely unbearable, snobbish and self-confessed purists. […]

Ouuuu… so much loveliness there! There’s even a few potential candidates for the chat we’re having about the prettiest car ever in the Abarth 205a Vignale article. Tony, I too had the pleasure of seeing the […]

Ahhh… @yrhmblhst, a ‘production’ car. So besides Tony trying his best to define ‘prettiest’, we now also need to define ‘production car’. I’ll happily acknowledge that a one-off clearly isn’t a production car. […]

Helmut Krone was indeed a master of advertising. He practically revolutionised advertising in general, and was of course the man responsible for the brilliant US advertising for the Beetle with both “Think Small” […]

Heh… can of worms indeed!
But this is indeed the true beauty of our hobby – the diversity!
Isn’t it amusing how some of the factors which for me contribute heavily – in fact almost define – the Vignale Abarth […] -

Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. It of course also comes in many shapes and sizes. Even so, I’m sure every ViaRETRO reader will agree that in the vast world of classic cars, we have been spoilt with a mu […]

The first and only time I’ve attended Knebworth, was with my NullZwei way back in 2003.
Tony, it was a great show back then, and that’s clearly still the case today…

Love the colour! – the steel wheels! – the slim bumpers! – and especially the fact that it’s a Daimler!
Dave, what a fabulous car, and at a seemingly very reasonable estimate.
Good thing it’s not a manual, as […] - Load More
