Hmmmm… If my total budget was £ 50 grand, I honestly think I would settle for three or maximum four classics in order to get better and more interesting classics into my garage. Or alternatively blow it all on […]

Tony, that is an utterly impossible challenge!!
The recent Artcurial catalogue which we looked at here on ViaRETRO was a lot easier, as despite the big number of lots, it was still a lot more limited than saying […]

Claus, looks like an excellent show! I thing the last time I attended Bremen was back in 2012 – perhaps time I pencil it into my calendar for next year…

Browsing through your many pics, I’d have to say that […]

Despite the lack of both Yanks, Japs and Brits – not to mention Swedes – those are some sweet choices Tony. Of course not my own exact choices, but I certainly wouldn’t complain about having any one of the […]

WAUW! At $500 an hour back then, I think it’s safe to say that Mr. Nadar couldn’t have gotten away with your log-in name… ;-)
Seriously though, I couldn’t possibly agree more. The Corvairs – both first and […]

Tony, I will agree with you that the E9 is prettier and more elegant than the E24 – but in my eyes it’s only by a smidgen. My mother used to drive a black 635CSi with factory sports seats and all the toys back […]

Claus, you’ll still be fighting me for that velour-equipped Gamma!
After all, leather is too cold in the winter, too hot in the summer, and also doesn’t sum up the 70s-feel near as good as velour does…

Jens, you and I clearly speak the same language… ;-)

Admitted, I too had never heard of the Molzon Corsa, but what a fabulously bonkers design! :-) – And concept for the matter, with the mid-mounted Corvair engine linked to a 911 gearbox. William Molzon proved he […]

I must confess, I’ve always had a thing for advertisement of yesteryear. And old signs too. The colours, the writing, and the whole atmosphere which they portray – just magical.
The Michelin-man has to be one of […]

Dave, due credit for trying so hard to fit in with the rest of the editorial team!
There’s still hope you might make a good Dane someday… ;-)

The Traction Fourgonnette is indeed a very historically […]

Couldn’t possibly agree more Tony! And while we’re at it, don’t forget the Matra’s. For closed-cockpit it’s got to be an early MS620, while open-cockpit goes to MS650. I know everyone raves on about the MS670, […]

Some sound choices there Gents!

Dominic, it’s more than just a little difficult to disagree with a DB4 and a 356 Carrera, and your reasoning as solid as can be.

Tony, the “Black Tulip” A110 had me terribly […]

Rob, considering just how much I enjoyed the video, I can only imagine how thrilling it must have been to be there in person!

Claus, once you find that Escort-owning World Champion, please remember to invite me […]

To quote our very own Claus Ebberfeld’s very wise words: “Everything was better in the old days – except the internet.”

You’re all right, the list of specialist sports car manufacturers is long, and yes, naturally the Reliant Scimitar and not least the likes of Bristol and Gordon-Keeble belong on this list as well. Because that’s […]

Tony, I couldn’t possibly agree more. In terms of style, elegance and not least rarity, you will struggle to beat the Gamma Coupé within this budget. It’s funny though that you mention both the Fiat 130 Coupé a […]
