Steen, the pleasure was entirely on my side.
It was great to be behind the wheel of a classic again, and while any classic is better than no classic, your gorgeous little Simca scores high on so many levels: […]

Hi Kevan,

What a coincidence! Until November of last year, I too lived in Derbyshire just east of Manchester – more precisely, in Glossop. However, I’m now in partially in Luxembourg and partially back in […]

Frankly, I have absolutely zero use for this big ol’ barge of a Nippon tycoon limousine, but nonetheless, I desperately want to add it to my garage (though I would then need a distinctly bigger garage…)!

I’m glad these 80’s rep. saloons still exist. While both the Sierra and the Ascona/Cavalier have become somewhat thin of the ground in recent years, the survival rate of the Montego seems even worse than its two […]

Andrew, I’m glad you stumbled across this old piece. That MGB drive to Bathurst is still to date one of my most enjoyable. Funny though that you should mention the Great Ocean Road. A couple of years prior to […]

Dave, it genuinely pleases me to see your 02 back on the road. Perhaps there really is light at the end of the tunnel…
Heh, bet you’ve never previously thought of your 02 as a “sick wagon”?? ;-)

Ouuuh… I really like this one!
Such an interesting car, and this one is even in seemingly perfect condition, sitting on the correct factory alloys and not least presented in what is surely one of the very best […]

It’s amusing how such an awkward and clumsy design can also manage to be so cute and entirely loveable. This particular example looks especially appealing with a bit of colour on it, where many other AMIs seem to […]

Ha! Well spottet Mr. Leadbetter…
Undeniably, that changes the story somewhat. However, it’s no less intriguing as this little old lady struck me as being just as unlikely to be a used car dealer as she did a […]

As I’m sure you already know @mark wigg, we at ViaRETRO do indeed focus on the prime finds which enthusiasts of very average financial means can still afford to treat themselves to. But even so, we should still a […]

Very inspirational indeed!

Though I must agree with Dave this time, that the presentation is perhaps vaguely hipster – or maybe just a bit sterile. It needs a splash of colour here and there and maybe an old […]

Most definitely the Golden Age of motorsport!
And the Lotus 25 was certainly one of the legends which helped define this era.
I hugely enjoyed the two period videos from the ‘62 French GP.
Already looking f […]

Very modern indeed!!
But I must confess that thx to your sound advice, I’ve just listened to my first podcast.
In fact – I binge-listened to Chris Harris. I started – obviously – with the three hours and […]

In a world seemingly obsessed with Alfa Romeo Spiders, not to mention MGBs and Triumph TR4s, I’ve always felt the FIAT 124 Spider was hugely underrated by most. It’s a genuinely elegant design and the Lampredi […]

Ha! Well spotted @Erik S.
I guess, inadvertently, this picture ended perfectly representing this particular year’s Drive-it Day…

Pop-up headlights and a six-and-a-half-grand red line – what’s not to like?

Well truth be told, even I who admits to having a serious weakness or oddball Japanese classics and youngtimers could probably come up […]

There’s just something truly special about having a keeper, and then loving it not despite, but for every little imperfection that it has.
Mr. Ebberfeld, may I commend you on your choice of keeper? A fine […]
