@tony-wawryk That looks astonishing, and in your favorite color…- it would
complement Die Zitrone quite well. The Manta-Ray badge just makes everything better.

You could buy it as a Christmas present for […]

I like the Manta A a lot, and I have great memories with me and my friend driving on
vacation in his 1.9S with our two very hot girlfriends.
The exterior styling is great and I remember that it also handled […]

@tony-wawryk, Santa’s little helper have been busy busy busy, ehhh ?

I’m modest, so I only wish for a maroon Alfa Romeo Spider 1600 with hard-top,
something in Tweed, more tools, and a sprint header, and I […]

@claus-ebberfeld Hear hear ;-))

@tony-wawryk I couldn’t agree with you more !

The snobbery, and elitist Tweedland attitude (nothing wrong with tweed) please be gone.

@tony-wawryk Ooh, I don’t accuse you for calling a MGB a inferior classic car, I’m truly sorry if you got that impression. I accept that the MGB does not rock you boat…- it doesn’t rock my boat as well, but the […]

@anders-bilidt Of course it’s up to each individual to choose what weighs the most in their choice of a classic car, and I will defend anybody’s right to do so, but I would also never call a MGB (or any classic […]

Anders, The MGB does not rock my boat too, but to write it off as a lesser Classic Car just because it lacks rarity is nonsense.

Weather the the MGB is overall a better car I can’t say (but i guess it is) and […]

@tony-wawryk Yes I spotted the GT immediately, and it looks very original.

Since my GT is pretty must rust free and the paintwork OK, the argument for throwing £2500 – £3000 for a re-paint is really not t […]

@tony-wawryk that’s only because your 02 is a “zitrone”, and bugs don’t like sauer zitronen ;-))

Should I ever come in a situation where my (dark blue metallic) GT was up for a re-spray, I would probably go for […]

@claus-ebberfeld

No worries, mistakes happens, and as long as you and the rest of the magnificent ViaRETRO team keeps posting tasteful articles I’m a happy camper.

As a JAG owner you should have known […]

@tony-wawryk Thanks for bringing color on a grey and cold December day.

The “bug-attraction” is my main reason for not going yellow, but I really really like pale yellow for classic cars, as it has a sort of […]

@claus-ebberfeld The first picture, are you sure it’s a E-type ?, I can’t get it to match any E-type body – panels / shapes (captured in the red circle) !

@yrhmblhst, and regarding sound, nothing is better than a V16 engine, making fuel and air into noise ;-))) Just listen to BRM V16 in the link.

@anders-bilidt Since it’s impossible for me to make you forget about the Montecarlo and the Bagheera, may I suggest that you’ll buy them both at the same time ? Not that I wish you harm in any way (I’m sure that […]

@anders-bilidt You could always thin out a little in your Bavarian collection to raise the necessary funding for a Bitter CD. I’m sure it’ll fit you as a well tailored Savile Row suit, and allow me to add, that a […]

@anders-bilidt , Eehhmm, sadly I have to admit that finding you a clean and usable Bitter CD coupe for sub-£10K is way beyond my ability…- It was a desperate attempt to make you forget about everything about […]

@anders-bilidt I stand corrected reg. engine size, but the 90HP is correct
I’m pretty sure.

I’ll give you that any Bageheera (or Beta) that has managed to survive this many years could be in a very […]

@anders-bilidt I have a slight suspicion that you despite your fine collection of
Bavarian motors have a soft spot for Italian or French “wedge-shaped-buckets” in rust or polyester ! Maybe some kind of latent […]

@claus-ebberfeld – I agree with you that the SP2 probably could be the most beautiful designed VW the world has ever seen, but it’s so under powered that the shape couldn’t possibly be further from performance..- […]
