HeHeHe… Claus, I sense you’re not about to let me have my way on this one… :-)
To me though – even including those big driving lights – the 2000GT is one of the prettiest, most elegant and complex sports car […] -

I must confess that I’m on the fence when it comes to the Kellison…
On the one hand, it’s so dramatic and thoroughly over-the-top, that the schoolboy in me can’t help but love it. It certainly puts a smile on […] -

Paris. 1976. Summer. Early dawn. Empty – well, largely empty streets. A sexy Miss Sweden to meet. And a V12 Ferrari to get you there. GO!
The big screen has given us multiple excellent car chases and car races o […]

@tony-wawryk
It’s not just you we are targeting. ;-)
Sadly we get a lot of spam on the site, and especially replies which include a link will more often than not need approving by one of us. I wish we didn’t […] -

@claus-ebberfeld and @tony-wawryk
Granted, I’ll be the first to admit that the Toyota 2000GT is no doubt a lot prettier with its pop-up lights retracted. But in all honesty, isn’t that the case for just about […] -

Very true @erik – moving into youngtimers, BMW’s sleek 8-series was among the last cars to use pop-up headlights and did so with style. The latest headlight technology at the time allowed BMW to rethink pop-ups, […]

Well, I couldn’t find a copy of that Small Car magazine from December 1964.
So instead I purchased two separate copies of Motor Sport. One from June 1961 which includes one of the very first road tests of the […] -

About a month ago I published an article here on ViaRETRO about stylised headlights, and how they – if executed with a degree of designer talent – can become the facial expression of your car. Judging by our rea […]

WOW! @les-brown I’m truly excited that you’ve found your way onto ViaRETRO. May I commend you on your excellent book on Rochdale. Thus far I’ve read my copy twice, and I’m sure it’ll continue to be an excellent […]

Hint taken Per. ;-)
I know that along with several other ideas for improvements and upgrades, it’s already something we have on our to-do-list for the English site. We’ll get there eventually… -

Ha! Claus, I suppose I should be flattered that you would rather see me as a museum owner than in a strait jacket… ;-)

Claus, I too have in fact seen a Singer in the flesh. Yet, I most agree with Dave on this one. I found it populistic, unauthentic and thoroughly nasty. In fact, I struggle to find any other 911 which I dislike […]

Estates and stationwagons are the new black in the classic car scene. It’s a known fact which we’ve also put in writing previously here on ViaRETRO. But that’s clearly not just some new phenomenon. When a […]

Thx Paul and Claus! Nice to know I’m not on my own. I actually feel a bit better know… ;-)
Question is what will come first for me from here on? A strait jacket like Pauls or Dave’s suggestion of a Museum […]

@yrhmblhst
WOW! With Corvair, early 911 and Alpine Renault you’ve certainly sampled the finest of the rear-engined breed. Personally though, I love the Dauphine, just as I do the R8.
But I think in some weird […] -

Have you ever felt compelled to buy a spare part for a classic car, which you don’t even own? Surely not! After all, there’s hardly a more illogical thing to do. Yet I have done just that. Several times even. Sil […]

There will no doubt be just as many opinions on this one as there will be people reading the article. But that’s what makes it interesting… :-)
Jesper, you’re of course right, it all depends on just how […]

Ouuuu… I’m torn…
On the one hand, I’ve got to be one of the biggest Lancia fans to have never owned a Lancia. Love the marque! Such a rich history full of innovation and ingenuity. And so many lovely […]

Prototype. Just that one word is enough to spike my interest. Design studies that more often than not were never intended to see production, but were instead exciting concepts of what the future might bring. These […]

Ha! What a coincidence Claus, that we both ended up enjoying a ride in the same stunning Ferrari at the same event but a few years apart.
