Ouuuu…. this is so exciting!
I obviously haven’t seen our Elford RX-7 yet, and I can barely wait…
I’ve always really liked the first generation RX-7. In fact, back in 2012 I almost bought a very early dark […] -

Esther, you clearly descend from an astonishing family!
Sadly though, we haven’t got more than what you see here. -
Anders Bilidt commented on the post, When Porsche Went Wedge: Tapiro 8 years, 3 months ago
I too love most seventies wedges. The Tapiro is certainly no exception to that rule. It’s sharp – literally! – and fascinating.
But whether Porsche should have actually built the car is debatable. I didn’t […] -

Like Dave, I too am bereaved from all those charismatic model names merely because I happen to enjoy classic BMW’s…
The Brits did indeed use many excellent names up through the sixties and early seventies. […]

Whooooaar!! Great find Dave. :-)
The black over white exterior is perhaps a little monotone, but the delicious red interior more than makes up for it. And I’ve always really liked the Amazon seats – they just […] -

….and when it comes to fairly small and fat leather steering wheels, well there’s a time and place for those as well = at least in my opinion. I loved the Momo Cavallino with center cushion which I had in my […]

In stark contrast – though still a BMW 2002 and a year older – my Green Devil has a very different steering wheel. It’s a hillclimb/sprint car. It’s rather rough. It’s a tool! So I’ve opted for a period […]

Yes, if you’re a steering wheel affectionando, it can almost become a religion. Of course, it needs to suit the given car – in both style and era. And as such, I suppose there is indeed a time and place for a […]

With the invention of the airbag steering wheel, the days of aftermarket steering wheels was effectively doomed. But remember, there was a time when every auto accessory shop worth its name would have a wall full […]

Now that’s a different matter all together. And it would be a pleasure and an honour… ;-) -
Anders Bilidt commented on the post, How the Chinese Could Make Lancia Great Again 8 years, 3 months ago
So here’s a controversial opinion for you: Seeing as I genuinely don’t care at all for any car currently produced, I also don’t really care what happens to Lancia at present. If current BMWs, Porsches, […]

It was indeed a fab weekend! I’m so glad you made the trip all the way from Copenhagen. Feel free to drop by anytime again… -

A real shame that Brooklands wasn’t much fun. Heh… with 50 Smart cars there, you would have had just as much fun had you just parked up on […] -

Here in the UK – actually most of Europe – the winter just seemed to drag on and on and on. And ON! And… Okay, you’ve got the picture. And if you live in Europe and have a desire to get your classic car out ont […]

Anders Bilidt commented on the post, Lamborghini Quattroporte: Faena 8 years, 3 months ago
It’s intriguing – no doubt. And also somewhat brash. Oh, and HUGE!
I can’t help but like it just because if its obscurity.
Yet it’s hardly a pretty or stylish car, and Bertone’s efforts sticking largely with […] -

Well, if it was indeed Claus’s A310 which brought you to ViaRETRO in the first place, then you’ve just given me yet another reason to love his Alpine. ;-)
