Apparently, Volvo weren’t the first to pitch a family estate car at international motorsport. Their fellow Swedes over in Trollhätten did so already in 1961 – and with good reason too!
I regularly have the […]

Pretty heady stuff, this: Although largely forgotten today, Ferrari’s 408 prototype from 1987 represented in many ways the highlights of the legendary marque’s abilities in the Eighties.
Enzo Ferrari himself […]

@anders-bilidt , I included the price of the Scimitar specifically to make you happy for your “investment”! Haha, seriously that car has been touring the different shows for at least a year now – from memory the […]

Absolutely agree with @anders-bilidt on this one: Great find (well, as it on auction we’ll have to wait to see where it actually ends regarding value for money) both as a rare car as such and judging from photos […]

When one of the great French style icons died in Paris on January 7th of last year, she left us not only a fabulous pop song with rather sexual undertones, but also a huge photo archive surprisingly rich on […]

And a few neoclassics. But we’ll get back to those. Once again, the Retro Classics in Stuttgart delivered on the main theme of Classic Cars.
The Retro Classics in Stuttgart has grown to become my favourite of the […]

I’m confused too, @yrhmblhst :-)
But just what IS the correct “American Experience”? Would a Corvair Monza qualify? An Avanti? An AMC Eagle? A Pacer?

I see where you’re getting at, Anders – I really do. But I would still very much prefer a Reatta.
I like the Cadillac name. I like the V8-engine. I even rather like the shape. There’s just too much of it. In […]

“It was just another time back then”. At least, that’s the only explanation I can find. The Holden Sandman became a huge success merely by offering the buying public a totally empty and stripped out cargo area […]

I realize the paradox here, @anders-bilidt . In fact I think the explenation is quite simple: I don’t really WANT the “proper American experience” :-)

Well done, Anders – well done: Really waving the flag in fine form there. Too bad it didn’t work out to meet in Denmark as I would have loved to see your Scimitar in the flesh.
Your story here gives me a bad […]

No, it’s not a V8. It’s not a sports car either. Well, it’s not even a classic car! I just like it.
Over the years of writing about classic cars, I have been fortunate enough to drive a wide variety of different […]

I feel I am having a deja-vu, @yrhmblhst !
@anders-bilidt , don’t forget I have a Volvo too and therefore know you’re lying…

@anders-bilidt , has the number of faults on your Volvo increased or decreased in the last year or two? That’s the German method, not age alone.
And I wholly agree that the method is not completely waterproof, […]

Thanks for the report, Dave. I’ve attended the Race Retro many times and it is a very nice niche show for those of us who love our historic motorracing and the cars associated with it.
That Opel Lotus Omega: […]

Love the padding! It does not suit the Datsun, though.

Well, @yrhmblhst – in many ways that’s better than “when the owner says so” or “when other owners of similar vehicles say so”.
Could you send me the list?

As usual I can’t help to love the fact that they are all classic estate specials – not race cars, coupés or cabriolets. I simply love the concept of a classic estate! MUST get mine running again…
