Lovely workshop you’ve chosen, @anders – of course you’d be the first one I know to find something like that when moving to a new country!
Nothing lasts forever, I presume, but indeed this seems […]

Great find with that mileage, but I totally agree with Anders: Shame about the gearbox, which takes the edge off the Celica. I’d personally go for a manual every time – and even suggest the 1,6 as quite sufficient, actually.

Great photos, Tony.
A comment to the character of the show: I have visited the Race Retro several times, back in the days when I was actually working in the field of Historic motorsport. This area the Race […]

Let’s strike a compromise: Say we’ll sponsor a very good cup of French coffee when we meet there, @yrhmblhst?

As I wrote in my main report from Rétromobile, the area dedicated to classics under 25,000 Euro had gained in size. But was it any GOOD?
Bigger is not always better and in a way the generally very high quality of […]

On Tuesday Andrew Boggis reported from RM Sotheby’s auction at Rétromobile – but there were two more! Indeed six days with 1,000 cars over 72,000 square metres on offer is well worth a visit, isn’t it?
Of course […]

I would have suggested MY Reliant Scimitar GTE as well, @Anders – but I think they get the picture! Haven’t checked the length, though!
If you actually fitted two adults and two 5-10 year olds in an Alpine GTA […]

Claus Ebberfeld commented on the post, Classic Rivals – Could You Choose? 6 years, 7 months ago
Being unable to look away from the value issue I’d have to choose the 300SL, sitting at around half price. While not as beautiful it is no ugly thing either, and I actually prefer the interior of the Mercedes. […]

I simply love that photo! Could he be off to his own wedding? In that case I’d love to see a photo from later – when the bride enters the car.

Claus Ebberfeld commented on the post, 50 Years of the Triumph Stag 6 years, 7 months ago
As former owner of a 1973 triple-blue Stag I can truly say that the it was a deeply underrated car. I say WAS as it seems prices have crept up to more where they belong now.
However I feel it was not the fact […]

What a truly, lovely, brilliant Volvo, the 780 Coupé. Although I have repeatedly stated that I, having literally grown up in Volvo 240’s, would problably not easily return to the marque (although I did with my PV […]

In record time Audi became the second-most winning marque ever at Le Mans which indeed does indicate some sort of advantage. Their true stroke of genius must be their company slogan though – which is so […]

Claus Ebberfeld commented on the post, This is how a GT40 drives on public roads 6 years, 10 months ago
I agree, @jan: The way Bale treated the pedals in general was pretty crude. It is a fact that the gearbox of the first GT’s were a weak point, but in fact I just think the producers wanted to make it look more […]

I hold the Stuttgart sports car in very, very high regard. But what if I just don’t want one?
The obvious answer is that then I must be ignorant. But then again: as regular readers will know, when it finally got […]

@fransciso, good question: No, I don’t think it could be repeated today. And there’s an intersting paradox in that: Manufacturers and journalists aside seem obsessed with lap times from Top Gear to the […]

Interestingly the car now seems to be at auction – at least so the updated ad description says. I have no idea where, though. But maybe you can grab yourself a bargain, @andrew!

GREAT find – and not least a great time to find such a winter hero. With winter approaching I always get an urge to find a historic rally car to hoon around in, great HELLAs, CIBIEs or the like not being to much […]

@andrew, I know the reputation of the Interceptor. of course – but as always I am an optimist: Surely it can’t be THAT bad?!?
I brimmed the car in Copenhagen and drove it back here, but haven’t yet refuelled […]

Well summed up, @dave!
That’s why I now need to build a new garage, probably heated, so I have a place to work on the car over the winter…
