Nice find Tony! I must confess that I learnt something new today, as I had never come across the Owen Sedanca before. Very interesting indeed…
It’s an intriguing design for sure. Aspects of it well ahead […]

Anders Bilidt commented on the post, Prime Find of the Week: Rover 3500 SD1 – in original paint! 8 years, 5 months ago
Whoooaar…!! What a beauty.
I positively love (just about) everything about this SD1. The V8, especially the stunning condition, the interior, those early details, the low mileage, the delicious alloy wheels, […] -

The venerable Rover SD1 was launched in 1976 to great acclaim, but appalling quality managed to dishonour the new car within only a few years. So how has this 1978-model survived in original […]

HaHaHa… not you’re ignorance! More like me probably being somewhat tired right now and loosing my ability to think, type and probably several other things too…
Obviously, I meant to write […] -

Heh, “right attitude” indeed… Yes, some where better at this than others.
The R5 Turbo actually managed that “attitude” quite nicely as well, as did the 2002. Sadly though most of my 2002 pics […] -

Well Jens, I suppose with 100 different drivers, there will of course be both differing levels of commitment and not least of talent I suppose. But I still reckon there was certainly plenty of conviction to entertain…

Anders Bilidt commented on the post, Same Engine Yet So Different – Facel-Vega and Jensen 8 years, 5 months ago
Interesting topic indeed. In my opinion, the engine of a classic car can indeed give it soul. But equally, the engine is not the only thing which can contribute to the soul of a classic car.
For instance, […]

The revs soar as the clutch is brutally side-stepped, and the rear wheels chirp and scramble frantically for traction. The rear fishtails a little until the tyres finally bite and we lunge forward before being […]

Anders Bilidt commented on the post, Prime Find of the Week: 1974 Sunbeam Rapier Fastback 8 years, 5 months ago
Interestingly, this Sunbeam Rapier clearly didn’t sell with Morris Leslie in August of last year, and it’s now coming up for auction once more. This time with the estimate lowered by £ 1,000…
Surely I can’t […]

I’m glad you’ve all enjoyed the report. To those of you who haven’t yet experienced Race Retro, make sure to mark the date for next year!

Thx for the Danish greeting – I hope you don’t mind me answering you in English…
I’m glad you enjoyed the pics Henning. A shame though that we ended up being at Race Retro on different days – […] -

If classic cars are meant to be driven, then historic race cars are meant to be thrashed! That’s why the London Classic Car Show impressed the previous weekend with its Grand Avenue. It also explains why Race R […]

I sleep better now – knowing that your appetite for more power will not lead to a Big Block equipped Elan… ;-)

Anders Bilidt commented on the post, Visual Sunday: Is It Possible To Have Too Much Power? 8 years, 5 months ago
There’s a delicacy to the Elan – and several other cars in my opinion – which I feel would be lost with a great big tyre-melting V8 under the bonnet. That said, there’s also something quite special and no doubt […]
