I have noticed the market tendency, but no one seems to have put words on it – until now: Neoclassics are cars which are newer than youngtimers, but still aspire to be something. Granted, it’s a word which at lea […]

British Austin has never been famed for producing particularly ferocious cars, but the model name chosen for this one may indicate that they did in fact have some aggression burning to be released.
Yet there […]

I thank you very much for the interesting background on the Kellison story, @christian-v – and not least on the status on this specific car. Most impressive. I agree that this further explains the low price, […]

The record was set on March 8 when one very lucky bidder acquired a 1959 Kellison J-4R for the spectacularly low price of 28,000 dollars.
A what, you may ask – Kellison?
Indeed, and this may have been one […]

The best thing with riding in a 2000 GT is that you can’t see those driving lights!
Ha, @anders-bilidt , just kidding. I agree so far that the huge faired driving lights add something. It’s only that the 2000 […]

I was as huge a fan of this film as the next man – until I discovered that all was not what it was supposed to be. Sure the filming is good and the plot brilliant (!), but the dubbing really bothered me. I wanted […]

Until your list includes the Mercury Cougar “razor” there will always be something missing, Anders.
Regarding the Toyota: While I agree it is a great classic car in every possible way, I think its face is the […]

Claus Ebberfeld commented on the post, What's So Ingenious About a Single-Spoke Steering Wheel? 8 years, 6 months ago
A bit of sceptisism goes a long way, @tony-wawryk !
But then again, @skaanning : Classic cars are not always (or is that NEVER?) about such practicalities as function.

And if it really is that ingenious, then why is it only Citroën who use them?
I’m aware that this is a deep and potentially far-reaching question. But we’re happy to entertain those as well here at ViaR […]

Well, @dave-leadbetter , I understand your reservations, but as the Delta was not really a GOOD car in the first place I actually thinks it makes sense to make it better. For me the big question is the styling. On […]

Claus Ebberfeld commented on the post, Has there ever been a boring rear-engined car? 8 years, 6 months ago
Please don’t talk badly of the Renault 10! It’s one of those cars I have an absolutely unexplainable soft spot for. I see it as a sort of Renault’s Volkswagen 411. Which I also happen to like.
But really I […]

My vote is on the museum. I might even want to visit!

Claus Ebberfeld commented on the post, Acquisition Through Compulsive Self-Justification 8 years, 6 months ago
I don’t see the problem.
It’s been exactly two years since I bought my set of original Mazda-alloys for an RX7 in the belief that such a car would inevitably end up in my garage sooner or later. I haven’t been […]

The answer to that question is probably “yes”. Or at least it was “yes”. But when I glance over the classic landscape as a whole today, it seems all rear engined cars have both charm, joy and happiness. Not least […]

Typical for Lancia’s downfall, this has nothing to do with the Lancia company, but is instead the initiative of a private man: Eugenio Amos wants to build a “Singer-Lancia”.
Once upon a time, Lancia was one o […]

I had the pleasure of a similar ride with Tony in the 308 at an earlier Race Retro and was rather impressed with the car and driver as well. As it was wet we never got over second gear, but instead I got an […]

It is sometimes claimed that a cars soul lies within its engine. But that can’t possibly be right, when the same engine can result in two cars as diversely different as the Facel-Vega and the Jensen.

It’s a terrific show which I have visited many times – glad you could make it this year, Anders.
I agree on the special atmosphere on the show as well: So down to earth, so focused on helping coming competitors […]

Congratulations to Per who I know rather well. He actually sometimes drives as if he has no brakes at all! Now let’s see if this will change.
But I must also congratulate Questmead: What a truly lovely service […]

@anders-bilidt , don’t get me started! Yes, there’s a rebuilt B16 over in the corner – actually the opposite corner to where the Volvo is. Is that excuse enough?
And oh yeah, the window doesn’t wind down in […]
