You can’t positively, objectively and conclusively establish that, @anders.

Having just enjoyed my own Scimitar on a 400 kilometers round trip this weekend, carrying tools, sleeping in it (!) and basking in […]

@anders, I would have thought the Triumph 2.5 PI too, but there you go. My colleagues back in the consultancy days would probably point to the Triumph, though: It’s Damson Red colour was my signature colour in o […]

Amen. I absolutely agree to everything above and like @Anders og the author have also been considering the 914 – as my first Porsche, by the way.

One correction, though: Porsche is not the most profitable car […]

Mmm, Vauxhall Cresta in two-tone! Always liked those.

Same with the Herald, though mine would have to be an Estate just for the heck of it. They were not last on the separate chassis-method though, as the […]

@anders, you know I have a weak spot for the Rover SD1. More importantly, I actually think it could fit your bill as well – especially in the Vitesse-version.

The Mercedes 280 CE is probably the most obvious […]

@anders, I am pretty sure a Gilbern Invader Estate is a step back from your (ours!) Scimitars. And they are even powered by the same type of engine, so why bother?

Great G15, @andy hill – love the colour!

@anders, I’ve found it very difficult to predict how happy a classic makes me :-).

Maybe you recall that after I sold my 1982 BMW 628 CSi it was replaced with a 1977 Mini 1100 Special? Two very, very different […]

BIG question. No answer. If there was such a thing as a perfect classic it would at least only be for a certain time and space in your life. Maybe your old Sunbeam Imp was the perfect car at that time – and the […]

I clearly remember when the honourable Editor Anders years ago taught me about long road trips in his BMW 2002, @tony: I think I asked him whether he carried a large toolkit and he seemed baffled as he asked […]

@andrew, amazing how you wiped out most of what Lamborghini is about these days in one single line – “most of the post 1973 production”! I’d say that the Countach is vulgar in a way I can very much relate to, […]

@andrew , I KNOW that it is possible to have fun for a lot less than 100,000 Euros – I just need to take a look out in my current garage!

However you’re touching on an important point: One should also r […]

There’s actually a Danish company local to me (well, when I lived near Aarhus, that is…) that did just that, @anders-bilidt : On the basis of a vehicle very similar to this. This need not be just a fantasy! Go […]

It IS a lot of money, @tony-wawryk ! But thinking of what else to use your time and money on it seem to me that a classic car for 100,000 sure is one of the better alternatives.

And of course I agree with both […]

I am glad to present old news that can be of benefit and inspiration in today’s world, @andrew : And as a driver of British roadsters for many years I fully understand the charm of the tent as well.

My own […]
