I couldn’t agree more, Anders: Had a magnificent weekend in Sweden in the Jaguar and hope the mild autumn will continue – would like a last blast in the Alpine as well…

By the way I need the jumpsuit too!

Well said – as always, Dave! I’ve stood through all of Anders’ “confused considerations”and would have aired my view earlier, but here it is, then: The time of his current BMW will surely come – and probably […]

Well, when an X1/9 or a MR2 are more expensive than the SS1 that really puts the value of the Reliant into perspective. I like both but I probably like the obscurity of the SS1 even more.

Which is why I would […]

I am 100 percent with you on this one, @anders-bilidt – once again. Even regarding the brown. I’ve always found Pascha looked its best in the 928, and now I understand this was also what it was designed for. […]

@anders-bilidt , I will excuse that omission very much: But I don’t think I even knew that engine as I wrote the above piece :-). Lovely it is, though.

Great story, @himself – and maybe a confirmation that the […]

But then again: The SS1 for sale has gold alloys! Always a good sign.

For another alternative, @anders-bilidt – can you still find a decent Fiat 1/9 in this price bracket?

Sure, @anders-bilidt : The car the author himself named in the introduction, Last week’s Prime Find, the Jensen Healey! As the auctions has finished today it should be sold by now, and I am very curious to learn […]

I’ve always said that’s the one Triumph I’d still like to add to my garage, @anders-bilidt : The Mk1 2.5 PI Estate. The perfect tow car for the Spitfire race car :-)

@dave, absolutely agree on the wheels: The wide steelies are perfect for this car. Vinyl roof there’s not, though – it’s a rather smart glass-roof arrangement which considerably adds to the airy and pleasant […]

Yeah, I realized the rarity afterwards, @yrhmblhst , as I looked for similar cars for sale – that’s going to be a struggle, especially to find one in this condition.

In fact the rarity struck even more as this […]

@anders-bilidt , you know me too well: I’d never build such a thing my self. Not because I couldn’t (although I actually couldn’t…), but because I’d always prefer building to original spec.

If, however, […]

We’re glad to be of at least some use sometimes, @yrhmblhst. The Maniero IS really fascinating, isn’t it?

Unfortunately I did not get any shots of the engine compartment, but I would imagine it looks extremely […]

What on earth does the XJ have to do with this, @yrhmblhst ? There not a Jag in sight anywhere in the vicinitiy of this article :-)

You’ve come a long way, @anders-bilidt : I am rather surprised by your […]

@yrhmblhst nailed it: The Mercedes ad is not very period correct. Or rather, it is – except for the newer car in the background. Fine story about the money made on the posters rather than on the actual product :-).
