Just to clarify… we’re talking about wheelbases and more specifically extended wheelbases. Oh, and of course whether anything good comes with it?
The immediate and most obvious answer is of course that a long […]

Formula One has always been the very pinnacle of motorsport – and it arguably still is. Even so, I have not been following the great circus for years, which is, among other things, due to the current day F1 […]

Claus Ebberfeld commented on the post, To Drive, or not to Drive – That is the (Classic) Question 7 years, 2 months ago
Well, with the cars mentioned I would probably do just as Tony suggests: NOT drive them – more than necessary to keep them in shape, at least. The market is very clear on cars like these, and they DO command […]

As we agree on the blues and light browns I basically just need to know the height of your Jeep, @yrhmblhst – then we should be ready to welcome you in the Summer of 2020 and make sure that the Jeep fits. And I […]

There’s just something rather special about French classics. Chic like few others and possessing an ingenuity and quirkiness like no other. There was a time when you could always trust the French to do things th […]

Well, @yrhmblhst , in your part of the world the huts are maybe better known as a “Quonset hut” – which is an American development of the Nissen Hut.
Regarding my existing buildings: Well, I see what you mean […]

I have very recently moved house. In most ways it is for the better, but when it comes to garage space – not so much. So what to do?
As regular readers might have noticed, I am currently relatively concerned […]

Porsche. Rimes with Power and of course, only a real man can tame it. Especially if we’re talking early 911’s. But why then, did Disney choose a Porsche 911 of the later 996 variant for the leading female role […]

The FIAT 124 has had to put up with a lot of abuse – and now this too?!? But there’s no denying it: It started in 1969.
Up through the sixties and seventies, it seems that anyone who could be bothered to ask […]

But not under its own power, unfortunately. Here’s a short summary.
Anyone who has read my profile text (and I often wonder if anyone bothers?) might have noticed that it states that I own a Volvo. And I do, in f […]

During ViaRETRO’s continuous attempts at looking deep into our crystal ball and predicting what the classic car market will do next, we now find ourselves looking at what is no doubt the most criticised car from t […]

Today, the world’s least secret agent is closely associated with Aston Martin, but it almost came by chance: In the books he initially drove old Bentleys.
The first James Bond book was “Casino Royale” from 1953, […]

Recently, a Danish acquaintance with whom I share our passion for classic cars, commented on how pleased he was with no longer having to put up with being constantly flooded with appraisal for the Honda Civic. […]

I once heard a Ferrari specialist proclaim that the 456 would never become a classic. Now, I’m no longer convinced.
Truth be told, the much younger me was also rather disappointed with the Ferrari 456 when i […]

I’ve wanted to visit this event many times but it hasn’t worked out yet, so thanks for this report.
A unique feature is also the focus on period race transporters and commercial vehicles, and I absolutely love […]

I am totally with you on that early 3-litre as the Turbo for me, @anders-bilidt . Obviously it is not anywhere as good as the newer car when viewed from all practical aspects, but any drawbacks in that respect are […]

For a car manufacturer which produced cars for all of 63 years between 1949 and 2012, SAAB have a fairly limited number of models in their historical line-up. Most of them however managed to stand out from the […]

This perfectly sums up why we will always have something to talk about on this subject: One man’s ( @robert-rodenkirchen ) “the best car in the world” leaves another man ( @anders-bilidt ) “stone cold”.
