That is a LOT of stylish car for the money and that history. I am not sure it is MY style, but it is a very charming car anyway. Absolutely love the colour combination.

I haven’t searched for sideburns on Ebay yet, Anders, but will see to that shortly, of course.

Thanks for the soundtrack, Dave – at the next fairs I’ll look for some suitable ABBA-cassettes as that really seems like a good choice for getting up and ready in an SLC.

Yes, there’s metal under the chrome […]

Mind!

Never again!

And may I remind you of the fate of my first two Scimitar GTE’s, Anders – https://viaretro.co.uk/2015/11/only-fools-dont-fear-project-cars-five-years-four-owners-two-cars-zero-progress/

I […]

The Procar series must be the exception to the rule that Dave asked for. I agree that was very real racing, but then the format was very much designed to create exactly that: The idea of setting up the best […]

What variety! From rusty Taunus to gleaming Espada. E-type V12 on steelies. A Pagoda next to a Fulvia Zagtao Sport. Impressive. Including the amount of cars defying the salt: VERY impressive.

As was Anders’ […]

Well, maybe I was a bit categoric there, Dave.

In reality the matter is more like discussing whether a certain car is a classic car or not. Which I feel today (in a wisdom far beyond that of driving an early 5 […]

The Renault 5 GT Turbo is a great exception, Dave, I absolutely agree on that.

Not so much for your mentioned reasons, but mostly because I am the proud owner of one vintage 1986, making that model […]

It was called “Trafik” in Danish, by the way.

I’ve always had a weak spot for the Niva – even as I lived well inside the comfort of the city limits. But now on my fourth year in the countryside the Niva seems more and more relevant. Well sort of relevant, as […]

Ahahaha, Tony – I indeed read rallies! Well, I guess the two things could be combined as cars looks to be a shared interest. The event is simply the best and indeed attracts more spectators than most current […]

It’s got a funny rear end too! Opel GT lamps, aren’t they? But that Commodore GS/E sure is lovely. I bet it sat on decent tires too.

Brilliant report, Dave – I read it in the dry and really appreciate that you […]

That sound like you’re planning to visit the Eifel Rallye Festival, Tony?

My warmest recommendations, it’s a brilliant event and one of the very few chances to see Group B cars in full flight.

I’ll never […]

I actually considered going for the earlier version as I like their design better. But as they are already more expensive than the six cylinder which is a better car for my tastes and probable use as a relaxed GT […]

Well, where to start…ah, with driving, of course. Unlike you, Anders, I did not drive as much as I wanted to in 2017. In classic cars, that is! Which might be part of the problem, actually – counting the daily […]
