Good thing I wasn’t aware of that estate version being up for grabs in Denmark, as I loooove the Custom (as the estate was dubbed by Toyota) even more than I do the saloon… ;-)

So you desire luxury and comfort? A lazy straight-6 would be pleasing, and an automatic gearbox is a must. The status of owning a grand saloon appeals, but you also want something rare and different – something […]

Anders Bilidt commented on the post, Do You Secretly Dream of a Purple Car? 8 years, 4 months ago
Judging from the replies, we’re quite clearly divided into two distinct camps here. Is purple the marmite of the classic car scene?
Still, I’m pleased that there are nay-sayers. Using the old demand-supply […] -

I too recall the Irmscher GT from the late eighties – and I too really liked it back then.
I can only agree with @jakob356, the GT is much better resolved than the TC3. It’s clear to see that the design for […] -

In the current sea of ever-so-bland silver, grey and black modern cars, it always spreads joy when you encounter a bit of colour – be that a yellow 2CV, a bright red Alfa Bertone, or a vivid green longhood 911. B […]

I for one can certainly vouch for Steen’s XR3. While not concours, it’s a well-sorted example of an early 80s sports hatchback, and it looks so sharp and cool in red with spoilers front and rear and those […]

Great to hear from someone who actually has longterm experience of Le Garage de la Poste! And very pleasing to hear that the work performed by Julien in the garage is as excellent as the […] -

Another alternative is the Peugeot J9.
My grandparents used to own a late seventies T2 which they converted into a camper. After touring most of Europe in it, they decided to upgrade to a mid […] -

The whole workshop was just fabulous. Perfection – in that very un-perfect way.
I could have stayed for the whole day, and I’m convinced I would have still been finding new little pieces of […] -

@jakob356
You’re doing a good job selling it… :-)
Admitted, I’m tempted. One day it might happen, but if you claim that it’s not about the engine power, I might actually opt for a very early and pure CX2000… -

According to our very own Claus Ebberfeld, everything was better in the good old days – except the internet of course. Quite an interesting theory which I’ll happily subscribe to. It’s certainly the case when […]

@jakob356
I see your point. At the very least, it’s a poorly executed reupholstery. Which in turn presents the question of why a car with such modest mileage would need its seats retrimmed?
But even so, I […] -

If visiting BMW, just remember that the museum at BMW Classic is miles better and more interesting than the original BMW Museum is. The Classic museum is not as flash, as staged or as PR-friendly, but the cars […]

Jakob, please enlighten us – what’s wrong with the seats? Are they from a later CX? Or how are they wrong? -

Quite interesting. Personally, I would have probably listed those seven targas in a slightly different sequence, but as we know, there is of course no right or wrong when it comes to these things – just […] -

There are very few things in the automotive world which are quite as fabulously retro-futuristic as the Citroën CX. Flowing and aerodynamic spaceship-esque lines despite a total lack of Stateside tailfin gimmicks […]

Excellent follow-up to Part 1. Thx Dave!

That’s interesting. Surely quite a controversial result – especially for a German magazine.
Peter, I’m curious, which BMW Baur did they test? 02, E21 or E30? And which Targas took second, third and […] -

I love the lithe X1/9 as much as anyone. I even came very close to buying one while living in Hong Kong!

You are oh-so-right Søren. All too often, the dashboard seems to be grossly overlooked when people choose their dream classic car.
