A Ferrari 250GT SWB powerdrifts aggressively through the long right-hander with the unique Aston Martin Project 212 and a Lister-Jaguar in hot pursuit. In the paddock a pre-war Alfa Romeo 8C is being warmed up […]

On this particular weekend, probably more than at any other time of the year, there’s a whole heap of dreamy eyed classic car enthusiasts whose greatest wish in life would be to participate at next year’s Goo […]

We all tend to divide classic cars up in all sorts of ways, based perhaps on their age, country of origin, or bodystyle. However, there seems to me to be one particular group which is left out on a limb – namely c […]

Estates are of course the new black within the classic car scene. Wait. Where have you heard that before? Well, here on ViaRETRO of course – and only two weeks ago as well. But it’s so true that we don’t have […]

The hardcore Lancista will no doubt argue that a proper Lancia needs to be from before the Fiat take-over of late ’69. I’ll admit that there are plenty of sound reasons for such a claim. But personally I still rec […]

A proper roadtrip is pure nutrition for the heart and soul.

Sometime pictures truly do speak a thousand words. All I really need to tell you, is that my good friend Moray Wedderburn recently dropped by to […]

Having just spent the last two weeks back in Denmark, I obviously couldn’t help myself from browsing through the classic cars currently for sale on the Danish market. Needless to say, as home is now the UK, t […]

Munkebjerg Hillclimb. The mother of all hillclimbs! – well, within the confines of little Denmark anyway.

Yes, I know what you are thinking. A hillclimb? In Denmark? But isn’t Denmark utterly flat? Uhm […]

French classics are often small and inexpensive – yet amazingly chic – cars with a slightly different approach to technical solutions. Need I mention the 2CV? But think also of the original Renault 5 or the 4CV […]

Fastback. Sounds good doesn’t it? I believe every classic car enthusiast dreams of owning a pillarless coupé. Even more so, one which is tagged Fastback.

But let’s be honest, a Sunbeam Rapier Fastback is perh […]

Throughout the summer, the vast majority of the many classic car events which us enthusiast so enjoy, are held during the weekends.

But Hope Motor Show in the beautiful Peak District do things a little […]

Twice every summer, Tatton Park just outside of Knutsford open up their gates for a full weekend classic car bonanza.

This year the first event happened on the 3rd & 4th of June, and with 79 different car […]

Is it just me, or has it perhaps gotten slightly out of hand with us dedicating a day to just about anything nowadays? Okay, so Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are no doubt a pleasant tradition. But what’s the deal […]

As is so often the case, the full scale of an event only becomes clear to us once it’s all over, and we allow ourselves to take a few steps back as to see the greater picture. Only then can we fully perceive the g […]

Today was obviously never going to be our most adventurous day of the roadtrip, but it still felt like quite an event bringing the ’66 from its 47 years in Sweden over the Oresunds bridge and into its new life i […]

Sweden was treating us to yet another day of perfect weather. We were heading down the west coast from Gothenburg and thoroughly enjoying the roads and the lovely smell of the Kattegat Sea blowing through the open […]

Our day started after a good nights sleep in the Hotell Nostalgi with its motoring themed rooms. The Hotel is on the harbor by Vaattern Lake. A stunning location. Paul and I enjoying our breakfast whilst looking […]

A night spent in the Tullgarn Palace is really quite some experience! The Palace was built to its current state around 1720, and has since been the summer residence of the Swedish Royal family.
The evening […]

Paul and I were still totally high on yesterday adventures. While we enjoyed a big breakfast, the main subject was mainly on how great the ’66 drove.

We quickly agreed that despite the two of us having both d […]

I was just about managing to contain my excitement. In all honesty, after about 15 hours of air travels in economy class on three different aircraft from Hong Kong to Luleaa, my body was starting to feel the […]
