@leo-jensen , being Paris in France that maybe doesn’t apply to old French Cars? I’d like to take the Alpine A310 there as well – how could that possibly NOT be allowed?!?

Now THAT is a workshop! Sure it’s messy but it’s the good sort of mess.

I even love the armchair in the office. Spectacular.

Although M. Pepin can’t have much time to sit there as for a one man band he […]

I believe I may have spotted the next big trend in the classic car world: At the spring exhibitions at Techno Classica and Retro Classics was an unusual high amount of camper vans – get one while you […]

Sure, @anders-bilidt , I was talking about the BMW Classic as well. And maybe, if a park a long way from the entrance, I can go there in something else than a BMW anyway.

@tony-wawryk , I visited the Porsche […]

Ah, yes, the BMW Museum, @tony-wawryk : I would like to see that as well, but feel I can’t really go there in anything else than a BMW. We’ve talked about going down to the Mercedes-Benz Museum instead…

Almost before I actually bought my Alpine A310 last year (which I wrote about here: https://viaretro.com/2017/11/1250-kilometers-and-happy-my-new-alpine-a310/) I knew the dream trip in 2018 would be taking the […]

I absolutely agree on the Series 1, Anders – that’s my preferred CX as well and by a huge margin. For me the car is all about the design, inside and out. And the comfort, of course: Put it in fifth and forget […]

Indeed some call the MR2 the car the X1/9 should have been – but I think they forget there is two generations and around 13 years between them.

I’ve driven both and it can come as no surprise that the Toyota i […]

Ahhh, yes, the XR3 and 3i: I once lusted after either – or both, actually. Only this was before I got old enough to actually gain a driver’s license. Not a good customer base.

Thanks for the thorough story of t […]

Mk1 van for me, thanks!

But really I am more on the same lever as Søren here: I knew them back then as well as from contemporary historic motor racing – but rarely did I ever really fancy one for my self. […]

I would, @anders-bilidt – but, erhm, I can’t find any…

Don’t make me regret the RX-7, you two! My travel companion actually asked if we should place a bid. The car seemed to be in very fine fettle as far as we could judge from the outside. And I MUST have an RX-7 […]

If there is any justice left in the automotive world, the Fiat X1/9 really ought to be the next to achieve recognition as Fiats most ingenious road car. Read on for ViaRETRO’s contribution to that d […]

I’d do it again, @dave-leadbetter – my pleasure, really.

The Fiat X1/9 was absolutely lovely, one of the best I’ve ever seen. In fact only the similarly coloured one (also an early 1300 version, my preference […]

The Sunbeam Stiletto was solely for you, @anders-bilidt :-). And I will get back to the Landcruiser in another article, in fact.

Thanks, @tony-wawryk .

And yes, both events have now issued press releases stating that in spite of the clash they are rather satisfied (with their own event!), and I can support that: Even after walking around […]

It might even be more than a hundred photos, as this was really something of a marathon. Saddle up!
Both of these huge shows claim to be largest in Europe, and both are right: Techno Classica in Essen measures by […]

I absolutely understand all of you, gentlemen – in that it is not a car I would really want in my personal garage as such.

However in a veritable sea of Porsche 911 and Mercedes SL of virtually every possible […]
