  • Since I wrote the above I have actually driven my XJ12 a further approximately 1,000 kilometers which has had the effect of making me even more of a Jaguar convert. A case for the XK8, then? Hmm, in fact more a […]

    The Ferrari 250 GTO which recently sold for a new world record price at auction obviously turned out to be a real attention-grabber. But over the same weekend, a direct competitor to the GTO, a much rarer Aston […]

    Late last week I finally picked up my Jaguar XJ12 from the workshop. All the way home, I felt like a proper Jaguarman. Yet, for the majority of the week leading up to this, I had constantly had Maserati on my […]

  • Simply cool! Everything is right with this car – except the lowering, agree on that, Anders. Put that right back and don your corduroy, hat, pipe…

    Yes, I realise that the objective is most likely the exact opposite, but I feel it makes the car look cheap and tacky. Even more so if the body is red as well. It just doesn’t work for me.

    It’s the sti […]

  • Let’s share this, @anders-bilidt !

  • Well done, @anders-bilidt – not least in reminding us all that this is one race meeting that everyone should visit at least one. The film set analogy is entirely appropiate.

    Fortunately Goodwood Revival is not […]

    Because I love it! It’s as simple as that.
    Being an owner of a Reliant Scimitar GTE (my fourth) which I consider a keeper, it should be obvious that I have a penchant for British GRP. French as well, but that’s […]

  • What a brilliant gift idea to any classic car enthusiast, @tony-wawryk . And it certainly seems as though you’ve even found the best fitting routes for the car as well – just lovely.

    I am surprised you didn’t […]

  • @tony-wawryk , you’re not meaner to the SD1 than most people are :-). Which just proves my point and the intention with this story was not least to tell it from the other side.

    True, the SD1 doesn’t have the […]

  • Hilarious, Dave! And such an exact description of how such an event feels from the seller’s point of view. I did my first and only a few years ago and ended up so demotivated that I sold off all the remaining s […]

    Everybody loves picking at the Rover SD1, don’t they? But in reality: How does it compare to – say, a Mercedes-Benz SLC? Well, I’ve enjoyed both for a year now and here are my findings.

    The Rover was one of […]

    Sometimes it just gets a little too overwhelming with all those emotions: Beauty, victory, tragedy, history, morality and ethics. Where did the pure, sharp and factual intelligence go? To Porsche, of course, and […]

  • The brown Granada Ghia….mmm, I really like that. But you probably knew that!

    In terms of classic cars, I was virtually raised on Triumphs. I’ve owned a total of five of them, one of which is the car I have owned for the longest. I’ve been the chairman of the Danish owner’s club, and I’ve […]

  • Agree on most aspects, @anders-bilidt : the Daimler V8 is such a great alternative to the Mk2 and the colour on this one is just perfect. I’ll even be fine with the auto-box.

    However I’d like a good poke aro […]

  • The Lotus marque is drenched in myths, but Karl Ludvigsen’s book on Colin Chapman “Inside the Innovator” covers Lotus’ technology and its background – and not least Chapman himself, the man behind the […]

  • Thanks, @rob – also for the photo. These great little cars deserve some attention, don’t they? And I totally agree on the early years: It’s very rare to see cars on the track that as SO close to standard […]

  • There is no denying that motorsport is a costly affair. But one of the main contributing factors to this, is the constant research and development which goes into improving and enhancing the equipment in search of […]

  • The Volvo 340! I can only explain my fascination for this car with its rarity. Especially in this company it stands out.

    I am much more used to visit the Spa Francorchamps circuit in these parts of Europe, but […]
