I never realised there was no external access to the luggage compartment on an Opel GT. I have learnt something new today.

My other thought is that there can’t be many cars whose appeal is so colour and wheel […]

Hmmmmm… that lot don’t all comply with my rules of what constitutes a stripe, but your rules may vary. Rather pleasingly, that thing at the top looks like a 1/10th Radio Controlled car :)

I could see me […]

@yrhmblhst: I thought you’d have an opinion on this one :)

Love the Commodore GS/E. That must be a rare car in right hand drive.

“Apparently built as a design exercise – the advert does not say by whom, nor does it say when this was done, though it may well be the vendor’s work… most of the work involved removing the heavy bumpers and rep […]

Yes, all developed independently at the same time within the same group of companies. So not really that independently.

:)

The prototypes have always been the most interesting exhibits in the Heritage Centre (as I still think of it). It looks to be even better now with the Fords and Vauxhalls on display.

I agree that estate […]

I don’t own the right clothes to attend this sort of do.

But wow… what a colourful and beautiful gallery. That Espada, that Miura, that cool concept Citroen Camargue. There’s so much to drool over that the […]

I’m surprised to learn about the differences between the European and American market cars. Relocating the fuel tank and developing unique side-impact doors are not cheap activities, and different specs dilute any […]

Hi David, I wondered if you’d be about.

Sounds like we made the right decision not to see out Litton Slack later in the day. I’ve e-mailed the location of Hob Hay to you, it’s tricky to find and not marked on […]

No, I’m pretty sure most of them would happily self-certify as stark raving mad. Certainly masochistic though, all night and all day, in a wet and wintery autumn, without a roof, brrr…

I did a few PCTs […]

“Country-style dress”? I see no anti-cattle safety knitwear or John Deere hats…? What’s wrong with you townies?

From the many pictures of exotica, I am obviously drawn to the Triumph TR8. The strange hardtop […]

@Bryan – thanks for reading. The MK3 Cavalier (first generation Opel Vectra) was built on the new GM2900 platform, hence the 94-05 Chevy Cavalier being the last of the J-Platform cars. GM certainly got their […]

Tony, your round-up of comparable sale prices is useful for calibration.

The Prime Find car is an SA import as you state, something that isn’t always a positive. Let’s assume in this case the condition and […]

I believe they’re “better” than a Citroen 2CV at least. Where I used to live, a couple of communists had one, and they seemed to like it. Make of that what you will.

Hi Warren, great to hear about your G20, it sounds like a lot of fun. Regarding a replacement windscreen, the Ginetta Owners Club here in the UK would be a good place to ask, if you haven’t already:

Oooh. Now, they didn’t have one of these at Salon Prive!
