Anders Bilidt commented on the post, Specialist Sports Cars at Their Prettiest 8 years, 6 months ago
Tony, I honestly had no idea that Mars bars were made in Slough….!!
;-)
On a serious note, I too learnt something today. I obviously knew about Citroën, and being a big Gordon-Keeble fan, I knew about […]

The world of low-volume specialist sports cars is a slightly weird but thoroughly wonderful niche filled to the brim with ingenuity, enthusiasm and a will to overcome any obstacle and succeed. It has led to many […]

Anders Bilidt commented on the post, What Ever Happened to the Goose Neck? 8 years, 6 months ago
Claus, please ensure you find two as-new Blaupunkt Berlin complete with goose neck and all. Yes, you obviously need one in your’72 M-B SLC, as do I in my ’74 BMW 3.0S.
Ehrmmm… that is, if I ever manage to […] -
Anders Bilidt commented on the post, Reminiscing about one more SMD in Hong Kong 8 years, 6 months ago
Ouuuuh… a 1st gen Accord!! Well, I sure hope you didn’t kill it Tony. There’ll be some trouble if you did! ;-)
I have a bit of a soft spot for those 1st gen cars – probably because my father in 1980 bought a […] -

Jesper, well spotted – it is indeed a Kyalami.
Tony, the variety of classics in Hong Kong surprised me too when I first moved there. It’s certainly not only Japanese. Also not just big-bucks Ferraris and […]

Sat in the pleasant warmth of our living room, peering out into the cold and wet winter, the thought of heavily salted roads is rather depressing. If you like me have a profound fear of decaying metalwork, this […]

Anders Bilidt commented on the post, Prime Find of the Week: Wannabe Cuban Cruiser 8 years, 6 months ago
I largely agree with you Claus, in that I think it’s a beautiful old classic with amazing history, yet it’s probably not really my type of car. In saying that, we often end up talking about ‘keepers’ or ‘classic […]

Anders Bilidt commented on the post, My Big, Fat, Sexy Project Car: SLC 8 years, 6 months ago
Claus, I’m not too sure about polished Lorinser alloys… It’s a matter of taste of course, but I generally prefer alloys being simply painted. But with ABBA blasting from the cassette deck, I’ll admit that the […]

Only last Tuesday, I shared a small series of pictures with you of some of the fabulous pre-1960 American classics I encountered during a very short visit to Cuba. Inevitably, the experience had me searching for […]

So while you’re clearly enjoying your big, fat, sexy project car, you still maintain that I shouldn’t buy the Glas 1700GT from last Saturdays Prime Find of the Week. That’s certainly taking “Do as I say, not as I […]

Ib Erik, I believe it’s only a minority of the Cuban classics which remain even remotely original under the skin.
Søren, to the best of my knowledge, they have now put legislation in place which prevents […]

Countries with a proud automotive history must naturally, almost by default, have their own car production to brag about. But there are of course exceptions.
Very few countries have as colourful and […]

Anders Bilidt commented on the post, Visual Sunday: Style and Elegance without Power 8 years, 7 months ago
Tony, I must confess that I personally wouldn’t place the 190SL in this niche. To me, the 190SL tries much too hard to live off its muscular big brothers image. Yet, it clearly doesn’t live up to it. On the […]

Anders Bilidt commented on the post, Prime Find of the Week: Dream Coupé or Hopeless Project? 8 years, 7 months ago
Claus, you seem quite set on keeping me from this Glas.
Heh… in many ways I suppose I should thank you… ;-) -
Anders Bilidt commented on the post, Prime Find of the Week: Dream Coupé or Hopeless Project? 8 years, 7 months ago
Per, you’re not helping much now! There’s a part of me that so wants to take that dare. But I know I shouldn’t.
And Claus, your example with two Scimitars is a perfect example why I shouldn’t. Yes, I suppose […]

Our mind says “NO!” yet our heart screams “Oh Yeah…!!”

Higgeldy-piggeldyness is clearly the only way one could ever come close to actually defining a typical Sunday Scramble at Bicester Heritage…
The variety is indeed massive, and I too thoroughly enjoyed the day. […] -

I don’t know whether it’s for me or not Ib Erik…??
As I said, thus far I haven’t yet tried owning an off-roader. But I would at least like to try on this niche of the classic car scene. A Landcruiser would […] -

Yes Ib Erik, naturally this article was written solely for you. I’m glad you enjoyed it… ;-)
Sadly I haven’t yet had the pleasure of owning a Niva. But I would like to!
Should I ever take the plunge, I’ll […] -
Anders Bilidt commented on the post, Single-Model Series do not Count Towards Motorsports History 8 years, 7 months ago
Controversial indeed…
Claus, if the whole purpose of this article was merely an excuse to post as many pictures of the luscious 131 Abarth Rallye as physically possible, then I’ve got your back 100%. Simply […]
