I stand corrected, @yrhmblhst – this is your home turf and you know it! And yes, I really think the Corvette-solution was well thought out and looked really neat – and to the best of my knowledge basically the […]

This date is a fateful one in the automotive world as the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 215 was adopted in the USA, and only a year and a half later, all passenger cars sold within America were required by […]

Leather is a fabulous material for automotive interiors, but it must always be used in a tasteful and well-considered manner. That rarely applies to white leather.
Either of them – that is; tasteful or w […]

If you own a classic car, you will have probably experienced it at some point: Parts being listed as “NLA” – No Longer Available. Here’s at least a glimmer of hope for some Datsun owners.
We have probably all […]

A good thing that I wasn’t present at that auction, @dave-leadbetter : For a long period of time (years after they were new, obviously – back THEN I tought they wer fab) I actually didn’t care much for the E23 but […]

Sure I was rather satisfied – absolutely, @anders-bilidt . A drive in my 1147 cc Spitfire calmed me down again.
Regarding the 850 T-5R versus the C70 T5: I see it a bit like a question of – what is Volvo? The […]

Well, the Ghia just happen to be right up my ally, a hybrid in exactly the right way and for all the right reasons, not least the one mentioned by @yrhmblhst: Here’s an exotic you could use without being scared […]

Regarding the modern cars it was generally done rather inconspicuously – except for the horrible livery on the Alfa Romeo which almost ruined their stand in my opinion. Being next to two lovely Grand Prix cars […]

Last week, 190,000 visitors from 46 different nations as well as your roving reporter all agreed: Techno Classica 2019 was a thoroughly well-balanced world fair.
“World Fair” is the organizers’ own words and […]

This past winter’s Retro Classics exhibition in Cologne had managed to assemble a surprisingly large number of exuberant Stutz cars from the 1970s and 80s. The bizarre display was placed right next to Ford’s. The […]

Were you aware that the films which make up the “Emmanuelle”-series are among the biggest successes of French movie history?
Nope, I didn’t know either. But it still seems the perfect excuse for sharing a few […]

There are several things to learn from this. The most important might well be to simply have a car which buyers actually want.
Truth be told, I too was a bit surprised, but then again: I quite deliberately posted […]

And of course I absolutely LOVE the colour, @yrhmblhst . Sets off the right Seventies/Ferrari 400-vibes even though the car is much newer. I yet have to own a brownish car.

Wow, @tony-wawryk – that’s a lot of exotic for your money. Makes me rethink about actually having my Bitter in RHD…

Claus Ebberfeld commented on the post, The Next Big Lamborghini: Jalpa 7 years, 6 months ago
My point exactly, @d-james .
Although I do agree with @morten-k that the 308 is more traditionally beautiful, flowing lines at all. Both sometimes traditional beauty is not all.

Admitted, this advice is probably a little late coming, as prices of the Lamborghini Jalpa have already taken off. But I believe there is more to come.
In most ways, when writing about classic cars, the story […]

You’d probably be welcomed as a hero, @anders-bilidt .
Besides that I know exactly what you mean about those 2-stroke SAABs. I want one too. Recently I’ve even dreamed about being in one at a red light next to […]

I would, Anders – had it only been LHD.
Just as you, I’ve always loved the Starion – mostly it’s angular and aggressive looks but also the fact that it came absolutely loaded with equipment we could only dream […]
