A frequently asked question: What does it require for a car to become a classic – besides time?
Well, it usually helps to be a sporting top model from a prestige marque. Here the VW Phaeton fails in two out of […]

I absolutely share your view of Lauda, Anders. I’ve read his books as well and determination is almost too weak a word to describe his drive.
What I’ll miss most is his outspokenness: Maybe as a result of […]

A GT6 was my third (as I recall it) classic car. Mine was the MkII-variant, which to me is the best looking of the three, also equipped with an overdrive gearbox. I had tremendous joy out of that car: I took it to […]

It’s of course less of an issue here in Scandinavia right now where the summer sun sets so late in the evening, but then at other times of the year we do plenty of driving in the dark. Especially during this s […]

The manual will live on for many many years in classic cars – and will probably become more sought after when you eventually can’t get them in new cars any more.
It’s interesting with steering column gears and […]

“quite modest, with just a couple of hundred cars present”.
That must be modest on the Wawryk-scale. Over here in Denmark a couple of hundreds cars represent a quite major meeting.
This one looks great too […]

I have no less than TWO brilliant (I think) alternatives – each of them deserving their own little article. Wait for it :-)

I don’t think it is an entirely unfair comparison, @tony-wawryk . Actually Lotus the road cars and Lotus the race cars were two entirely different entities, which although placed side by side had different staff […]

It is a very interesting point that a human labour extensive plant should be more environmentally friendly than a robotintensive one, @yrhmblhst . Here I am sure it must be taken into consideration that robots […]

This is a story from some of the most dangerous years of Formula One, and one so unlikely that one almost expects it to have been made up for a movie. But it isn’t.
Let’s start with the picture below: It’s […]

@yrhmblhst , over here you’d get stoned (or hurt by another CO2-neutral method of inflicting damage) for uttering something like that in public. Which is why we NEVER hear anything like it – well, except […]

This Mercedes-Benz was not just a technological tour de force – it was also so downright sexy, that it quite possibly seduced the entire world into believing that diesel was the solution to all our w […]

Today’s car is but a footnote in automotive history. Maybe even barely that. But arguably, that might be precisely what makes it amusing to write about now – 34 years after it first saw the light of day […]

Even the Best Group B rally car in the world was not perfect!
For once, here I present you with a “world’s best” claim that is indisputable: The Peugeot 205 T16 was created for rallying during the legendary Group […]

@lorne , ViaRETRO did not purchase the parts, God forbid!
You’d need to reach out to @anders-ejstrup who is the lucky owner.

The question arose as I quite some time ago read the headline: “In just one month, more than 6,500 buyers have signed up for the legendary Ford GT”. Followed by the rather cryptic addition: “At the same time, […]

Yes, I have to admit @thunderbird is right: With THAT car in THAT colour the contrast to the white interior actually works. The accompanying jumpsuit would then of course need to be another contrasting colour and […]
