@Lord kim: thanks for your excellent trivia :)
@Niels V: I think a peak and decline is inevitable for 99% of fossil powered cars within the next few decades, but don’t underestimate the appeal of the BTTF […]

The Great British Car Journey in Derbyshire have been hosting monthly car nights over the summer months. With autumn fast approaching, I went down to the September meeting to catch the last of the warm […]

Here at ViaRETRO we subscribe to the principle that “any classic is better than no classic”, which leads us to write about some unusual vehicles. We often like to champion the underdog. Although the team all hav […]

The Triumph Stag has recently been the topic of some lively debate on these pages. In case you missed it, our own Tony Wawryk wrote an article in 2020 in which he managed to upset a vocal member of the Stag club […]

Four years ago I reckoned this was very nearly a bona classic. Now it definitely is.

That E30 “M3” is definitely a replica. Let’s assume it’s a work in progress and they’re still saving up for lowering springs :)
Elsewhere, and acknowledging all the Bugattis, I’m drawn to the ZB Magnette; peak […]

An eclectic selection there. I’m taken aback at the low number of Nova GSIs still doing the rounds.
I wonder if the Chevette has actually seen some competition action? The presence of ignition and […]

Hi David, I can see the resemblance to the Peugeot now you mention it.

Memorable as the Mafia-mobile in the Italian Job of course. I remember when these were going for peanuts, etc…
Certainly not cheap any more but a lovely thing nevertheless. I’m a bit torn on the colour as […]

With record temperatures forecast, the incentive for staying indoors was strong. My cool and shady lounge adjacent to the beer fridge was my odds-on favourite location, until I received a last minute reminder […]

@Harry M: Careful now, that would be fighting talk on the Stag thread :)
@Tony: £16k sounds a lot of money but they’re not exactly plentiful here, never mind in Portugal.
It’s proven to be quite a popular […]

Tony’s recent article marking 60 years of the ADO16 means it’s the perfect time for the latest in our series of Great Drives, courtesy of the Great British Car Journey in scenic Derbyshire. As well as housing an […]

Wow, a thread from the dead!
I haven’t really got a horse in this race though I can definitely see the appeal of a Stag and the high number of survivors prove its popularity beyond doubt. I can also appreciate […]

Excellent stuff. Coming very soon, I drive a 1300GT courtesy of the Great British Car Journey as part of our Great Drives series. Watch this space. Well, not this exact space but you know what I mean.

I like the idea of a Datsun 120Y but someone evidently really liked this one; £9430?!
I hope the new owner inspected their purchase before bidding. The description may have claimed it to be in “unbelievably […]

Great to see the old Mercedes back in its natural habitat. I can’t believe you’ve owned it for two years already, time flies.
Nice to see your holiday snaps of Luxembourg. I worked in Saarlouis for a short […]
