Thanks, both.
We’ll see about the adventures, @tony – maybe I can’t even report on everyhting that happens as it might be too exciting or even illegal! And we absolutely agree on the colour, which I simply […]

For many, many years I have been fascinated by big exotic grand touring cars. Now I finally got one – and what a car!
Jensen Interceptor. Taste it. Interceptor. In-ter cep-tor. It sounds international, […]

I’d take the original over this any day. But, that said, this DOES have something. Kitsch is probably the right word and it IS part of the automotive history, coming to everything from Bentleys to Toyotas. I’d […]

Very insightful observation, @jakob356.
Very insightful observation too, @kim. Only from the exact opposite base.
How interesting.

No: We had a great turnout at the ViaRETRO end-of-season drive yesterday, and the weather was exactly as tricky as one could fear from a Danish mid-October day, as below photo shows.
Must fix the windscreen […]

Uh-uhhh! I just corrected the name of the author to the right roving reporter, Tony Wawryk. As I was not even aware of this event it was of course not my humble person who enjoyed this event!
As I am based in […]

How to use classic cars and historic motorsport as therapy, edutainment and pure joy:
After yet another week of political nonsense here in the UK, capped by more windbaggery than a fleet of hot-air balloons, […]

Claus Ebberfeld commented on the post, Prime Find of the Week: Elton John's 1972 Ferrari Daytona 6 years, 12 months ago
As a former owner of a Rover SD1 even I have to admit that Ferrari did it better, @dave-Leadbetter. This also applies to the general fit of not only bumpers and lamps but to complete body panels.
Maybe the fit […]

Let’s look at 475,000 pound sterling value for money!
Of course it is highly debatable what is actually value for money and there will certainly be those who think that no car can be worth 475,000 pounds. I, for […]

Claus Ebberfeld commented on the post, No, The Ford Capri II Was NOT More Exciting Than The Original 7 years ago
Well, @yrhmblhst , if you only got the Mk1 with the fourpots (I had no idea and it DOES sound very strange) I can certainly see your point. I’d still say the original design and its details were both better and […]

And that’s a fact. I am pretty sure even Ford were aware of that and therefore intentionally produced an advert which stated the opposite.
The advert mentioned is the one below and you need minimal automobile […]

Claus Ebberfeld commented on the post, Prime Find of the Week: Grand British Coupé 7 years ago
Amazingly it seems this Prime Find from October 2017 is still not sold! Instead the price has been reduced to £ 9,000. Hmmm. Certainly that makes it even more of a find. The petrol might have gone a bit off, though…

Claus Ebberfeld commented on the post, When Less Was More in Touring Car Racing: Spa 1974 7 years ago
I acknowledge the old spoof saying that “Motorsport is dangerous to your wealth”, @andrew and @dave :-). There is some truth in that other saying that it can in fact become just as expensive as you want it to: […]

As a weapons race developed between Ford and BMW in the Seventies, costs spiralled. But the this Belgian invention showed that less could actually be more.
Of course I love the legendary duels between the working […]

If you have read, watched – whether live or streamed – or maybe even just briefly heard about the Goodwood Revival you’ll probably want to attend. And if you have a taste for speed and competition, you might even […]

I was very aware of the new Defender: But only because I at some point at the Goodwood Revival stood next to a man who actually wanted to buy one. He was even a farmer, so I guess Jaguar Land Rover has hit jackpot […]

I always liked the Fuego as well, and once thought of them as a cheaper alternative to the Porsche 924. Although they aren’t! This one is a great colour and seems right for the money.
Regarding the trim, […]
