Fifty years ago in January 1968, BMW launched their compact sports saloon, the 2002. It became a fundamental cornerstone of BMW history and its DNA shaped generations of BMW sports saloons to come, while setting a […]

Such a shame I missed out this year! It’s always such a great event – street circuits are of course far and few between, but offer a very unique atmosphere. Catching up with old and new friends at the ViaRETRO […]

Anders Bilidt commented on the post, A Classic Car Show – on a Wednesday? 8 years ago
Lot’s of loveliness there! I’ve always been a sucker for a Ginetta G15. But it’s the impressive and ever-so-stylish Studebaker Commander which really impresses! Oh, and that cool little pre-was MG KN Magnette – […]

@soren-navntoft, I was genuinely shocked to learn that you’re selling your Alfa-Romeo! How long have you owned your Bertone? How many roadtrips through Europe have the two of you been on together? Must have […]

Prototypes are of course the stuff of dreams. Adventurous, exciting and groundbreaking. But admitted, many of them were clearly never intended to go beyond the attention-grabbing prototype stage. However, in […]

Anders Bilidt commented on the post, My sort of hybrid: De Tomaso Turbo 8 years ago
I always did like the Bertone designed Innocenti Mini. Looks sharp! Even more so the wide-arched De Tomaso version. But have you seen the quality of the interior? – or should I say the lack of quality? It’s […]

@yrhmblhst, while I’m probably not much of a K5 Blazer guy, I’ll certainly agree with you that it looks much better with the hardtop on. Gives it more presence somehow…

Anders Bilidt commented on the post, Fashionable Beach Appearances 8 years ago
HaHaHa… @yrhmblhst, I must confess that I was very much expecting a comment from our resident American… ;-)
I’m intrigued, would your K5 Blazer be open for maximum beach effect, or would you leave the […] -

With the fabulous summer we’ve all been spoilt with in Europe this year, I almost feel it should be mandatory for every single classic car enthusiast to add a proper beach car to his or her garage. With two m […]

@tony-wawryk, the thing is, there is no right or wrong here – just differing opinions.
It might as well be my glasses which need checking… ;-) -
Anders Bilidt commented on the post, Karmann Ghia with a Brasilian Booty: TC145 8 years ago
Hmmmm… I struggle to see the similarities between the Glas 1700GT and the VW TC145. One is elegant, delicate even, and beautifully proportioned. The other… not so much.
Whether the TC145 is a sports […]

Anders Bilidt commented on the post, Are Whitewalls More Elegant? 8 years ago
Of course you are right Tony – it will always depend on the car in question.
How about a Periscopio Countach on whitewalls?? I think not!
But there are a lot of cars from the 50’s and 60’s where it looks […] -

Ha! :-D
@jewer, you nailed it. That’s clearly the exact message which Fiat were trying to get across to potential customers… ;-) -

Astonishing! Quite astonishing….
Definitely another must-do on my long list of automotive events, museums and meets which I simply must see at some point. -
Anders Bilidt wrote a new post 8 years ago
Surely every enthusiast has some degree of a hankering for a small, agile and smile-inducing sportscar. The best part of it is, it doesn’t even have to cost you a fortune.
After attending the Festival of t […]

Just goes to prove that sometimes the simple pleasures are also the purest.
Claus, I love the little Spitfire – even more so because it’s a Mk.2 and because of the colour. But most of all because of its family […] -

Clearly, the Bedford HA simply has the advanced and highly-developed Extra Ventilation Option. Keeps the cabin fresh despite of two obese occupants chain-smoking fags, munching on fish and chips and drinking […]

Anders Bilidt commented on the post, Sensory Overload at the Silverstone Classic 8 years ago
There is indeed way too much on display to pick a favourite – sensory overload and then some! Hence why my simple mind choose to focus on those two Rochdales…
But frankly, with it being a race meet, the […] -
Anders Bilidt commented on the post, Prime Find of the Week: The Almost Extinct Toyota Tercel 8 years ago
I’m always fond of the underdog. The second generation Tercel is most certainly that!
It is indeed immensely average in every perceivable way – except f course for just how rare it has become today.
Still, if I […] -

@paul-hill, sounds like a perfect contender for a future Festival of the Unexceptional.
