There are certain classic cars which just seem to remain ridiculously cheap. Even with the massive upturn in values which the classic car market has experienced in recent years, and despite a committed following […]

Thx Ole. As I’m sure you know, brave and bonkers are sometimes only separated by a very faint line… ;-)@tony-wawryk
The Olympic’s similarity with the 356 is most pronounced in the front. […] -

@claus-ebberfeld
Thank you my dear old friend! :-)
I haven’t actually yet decided on which spec my Rochdale will be restored to. Stock road spec? Light Sprint spec? Or maybe full-on race spec? Luckily though, […] -

Indeed @dave-leadbetter, why would you invent the wheel twice?
And yes, it is indeed a shame we didn’t get the Prince Skyline 2000GT in Europe. As I’m sure anyone who has spent just two minutes in my company […] -

You’re missing out on a LOT! There. Done. ;-)Seriously though, I do get it. Both Søren and you have put it in words – basically we like what is known to us. And while that will most likely […]

Ouuuuu… that Danish import tax – that’s one very sound reason as to why I don’t reside in Denmark anymore…
Regardless though, your A310 looks utterly stunning Claus! And congrats on blasting through the […]

It’s April. There’s spring in the air – finally! And as such, we’re all itching to get the new driving season kickstarted. To get our classics out of hibernation and back onto the twisty backroads where they belon […]

Jeeeez…. Claus, to think that I’ve known you for this many years, yet I’ve never realised – until now – that you were already quite that old… ;-)

@rk
I have to agree with you on the arse-in-the-air stance for 70’s muscle cars. Period or not, it just does not look good.
However, I don’t agree about modern stereo systems and most certainly also not about […] -

We recently dived into the short but glorious history of the Prince Motor Company, and told the story of these upmarket Japanese saloons from the fifties and sixties. There’s more though. We promised to return f […]

@claus-ebberfeld
It all depends how you define rare. Needless to say the complete range of W114/W115 Mercs certainly can’t be called rare. But with less than 10,000 produced 280E’s, the range-topping version […] -

Congrats Claus! – good find. ;-)
It’ll look so right in your SLC.
Now please find a second one for me – it might actually spur me on to finally get my E3 back on the road… -

@tony-wawryk
I too can’t help but think that surely the estimate will be exceeded on this one.
I’m almost considering whether I should attend the auction myself. Just in case the W114 stays within its estimate…. ;-) -

Last week’s Prime Find was a spectacular, early seventies Toyota Crown combining luxury, rarity and budget in one great big bundle. But what if you don’t do Japanese classics? Or if you just dislike that […]

Heh… a nice twist on the worn-thin derelict petrol station theme.
