Apparantly not, @per-henriksen?!?
Anyway: They look terrible! But they did not mention anything as we got pulled over at the border.
Thanks, @yrhmblhst : We’ve planned a meeting regarding a follow-up on t […]

Continuing this week’s French theme on ViaRETRO, let me elaborate a bit on how, when and why I visited the Le Mans Classic in my Alpine A310 – and of course, on how great it was.
To answer the last question […]

Having just returned from Le Mans Classic, and not least having driven down there and back in my Alpine A310, I’ve been on a huge overdose of French classic cars. It’s lead to many thoughts and considerations dur […]

A well known paradox, @anders-bilidt . And one that has led me personally to now prefer restored cars over these survivors.

“Others”, obviously – not otters, damn spelling check! In Danish it is not kind calling anyone an otter.

I know, @anders-bilidt and otters. But it’s here, isn’t it? As I wrote it’s not for me, but there definately seems to be a market.
And the statement holds true: I honestly think electric classics are more inter […]

“What a thoroughly horrid thing to say”, was my initial thought. But then I realised that it’s in fact true.
I recently read the words of the title in an article about classic cars which get converted into e […]

“Tis better to have loved and lost, then never to have loved at all”, wrote the British poet Alfred Lord Tennyson in 1849. Amazingly before the automobile was even invented – however the words are no less re […]

Impressive condition, sure! And I was always very fond of those FOUR extra lights below the bumper – seemed quite extravagant at the time.
But I never got comfortable with the proportions of the 309 bodywork. […]

Someone there obviously loves his Ginetta G15! I do too, by the way.
While I don’t subscribe to the “most beautiful”-thing either you can’t really argue that the E-type has presence in spades. Or that is is […]

Thanks, @tony-wawryk . Maybe I should mention that as a youngster I was also obsessed with lightweight cars, Lotus in particular. I hope to get to that at a later stage…would also be a nice antidote to the XJ12!

As a youngster, I was obsessed with power-to-weight ratios and the closely related acceleration figures: They were so definitive descriptive af a sporty car. 40 years later I realized they can be quite […]

You’re right in the logical continuation of that approach, @leo-jensen . But at least your memory is wrong: My Spitfire is actually running. Well, it was the last time I tried, at least…
I admire the Jaguar […]

I’ve always had a weak spot for British specials like this. And I am fully aware that the Davrian is said to be one of the best handling of them all.
And while I absolutely agree that the front is great […]

Grip. Handling. Many might regard the two as largely the same thing. I’m happy to acknowledge that they are certainly linked together in some way. But I’ll also claim that in some situations they are actually mor […]

There might indeed be a trend growing here: When I reported from the largest Danish classic car meeting (around 2000 cars) on the Danish ViaRETRO-site some of the comments suggested that we should indeed drive […]

Indeed, Anders: I’ve barely driven it since writing the above as I still stick to the original plan of fixing the most blatant errors and faults before putting it into use – they don’t show up very clearly in the […]
