The Indy is a very serious contender – and a true dream car for me: I’ve wondered the same as Anders and have recently considered whether I should sell most of my classic cars and downsize numerically only to […]

Well, @anders-bilidt , I don’t think the art status necessarily rules out driving your piece. I know I would!

Marketing of cars is really relatively easy: You simply have to ensure that the consumer wants to be in the situation portrayed in the advertisement for the given car. To achieve this, sensual and pretty women […]

A great car that has always fascinated me for much the same reasons as Anders’. Indeed it has been on my huge list of cars I need to own at one point. But now Anders has one I obviously can’t – bugger!

It sold, @tony-wawryk – for 394,000 GBP, which was about the middle estimate. I’ll try to find out whether it was bought by an art collector or a car guy.

Even when a car is viewed as a classic, built forty years ago, and as such is obviously not changing in itself – the context can: Now, RM Sotheby’s put a Ferrari 512 BB up for sale – at an art auction.
The car […]

@tony-wawryk , I just checked the resulta from the auction, and the AC didn’t sell. The description said it needed work so I wasn’t really for me anyway.
@robert , I didn’t buy the car!

Spectre is big. But secretly so. This is of course an advantage if you are a criminal organization, but a definite inconvenience for a supercar. Today, ViaRETRO goes double-up on Spectre, both of which failed but […]

Merak, Aurelia, 250, Aston DBR – and then that genius of a dog!
The Dolomite is tops, though. Or the Piper. Always loved those. And the van – Lancia, isn’t it? And…

In 1969 a French teenager built a 1:5 scale model of his wedge-shaped wet dream. Eight years later it had progressed into a full-size driving car. Only to be stopped by bureaucracy.
The teenagers name was Denis […]

What will the outcome be if a temperamental caravan manufacturer and an unruly designer merge to build a Formula One car?
Once again, we can simply turn to history for the answer, which then turns out to be: […]

It is always sort of an acknowledgement when @yrhmblhst agrees, thank you!
By pure elimination I am near the conclusion that the Monte Carlo is the only member of the Beta family that could be considered a […]

I have a great appreciation for rarity. To my eyes, this sole quality can often excuse several shortcomings. Just not in this particular case.
As most people who know me will testify, I have a profound love […]

Wait a minute, @tony-wawryk ! You almost had me there, but then I checked my facts – true, the XK8 is 15 centimeters longer than the 3200 GT, but they are nearly identical in their width of 182 and 183 […]

Anders, you are NOT being overly conservative – but you ARE taking on the role of the little boy in the classic short story “The Emperor’s New Clothes”.
Of course 100,000 GBP for an MGB makes no sense – […]
