First of all, allow me to wish all who read our virtual pages a very Happy New Year! I don’t think there’s any doubt that this past year has been the most frustrating I can remember from the point of view of our […]

In the immediate post-WW2 years, Mercedes-Benz model range consisted of the high-end 300 “Adenauer”, and the pre-war Type 170, which by the 1950s was looking very dated. There was also a significant price gap bet […]

There was a time when Rover stood for solid, dependable comfort without having to break the bank; indeed, for a while the brand was considered to be the “poor man’s Rolls Royce” and enjoyed what could be terme […]

I couldn’t agree more – while classic car events are a relatively minor part of the bigger picture, they are enjoyed by many thousands of enthusiasts each year and in many cases, raise considerable sums of money […]

Tony Wawryk commented on the post, Would the Porsche 924 have been more respected if it had come after the 928? 5 years, 7 months ago
I’ve always liked the 924, while recognising it was never a Porsche in the same way as the 911, but that didn’t make it a bad car. Yes it needed more power, which it very quickly got, and it looked good right from […]

This week’s Prime Find comes to us via the Far East and is a car that went a long way to transforming the global image of its manufacturer, Toyota.
While Toyota had been making sporting coupés for a few ye […]

Tony Wawryk commented on the post, Historics Hold Successful Final Sale of a Difficult Year 5 years, 7 months ago
Yes, you’re right – confusing. Even the fact that this car sarted life as a convertible doesn’t explain it. However, the DVLA sometimes has incorrect info – for example, my own 280CE was manufactured in 1982, but […]

Having had a brief flicker of normality in August and September with both the London and Hampton Court Concours going ahead as scheduled, this was quickly extinguished in October as the coronavirus reasserted […]

Tony Wawryk commented on the post, Prime Find of the Week: Fabulous FIAT 130 Coupé 5 years, 7 months ago
You’re right, good spot, I’ll change it when I get the chance, but what do you think about the FIAT?

Tony Wawryk wrote a new post 5 years, 7 months ago
Yes, I know we featured a FIAT as our Prime Find last week, but I make no apologies for featuring another one as our Prime Find for the second week in a row.
FIAT is a company that has made, and continues to […]

Back in early September of this year, I had the good fortune to be able to attend the Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court Palace, one of the mere handful of events I was able to go to this year. As readers will […]

Our Visual Sunday photo a couple of weeks back showed a very chic woman posing next to a FIAT 1500 Berlina, a car I don’t think I’ve seen for many years. I do however recall seeing them frequently back in the day […]

One of 2020’s numerous anniversaries that we haven’t yet covered (though we have remembered a few) is for one of the less celebrated cars in our classics world, and one that fits very neatly into our “any class […]

We don’t often feature Porsches in our Prime Find slot, and yet while the iconic 356 and 911 have long left the financial realms that we (usually) explore each Saturday, there are a surprising number of s […]

@claus – of course I have been a passenger in a black cab, also, sadly, in black hearses, but I’ve never driven one :)

Tony Wawryk commented on the post, Black is the Colour of Death and Company Cars 5 years, 8 months ago
I also much prefer the times when there was more colour on the roads than black, silver or white (the three most common colours in the UK over recent years), although grey has since pushed white down the list, but […]

A few weeks ago when writing about the Borgward Isabella, I referred to my childhood holidays in Germany to visit family, and my seeing so many cars there that were rarely seen in the UK at the time, if at all, […]

Tony Wawryk commented on the post, Help! I've Just Bought My First Italian… 5 years, 8 months ago
I guess in some ways the Kappa is a descendant of Saturday’s Prime Find, but I know which one I’d rather see on my drive – the rear wheel area is particularly ungainly. Having said that, for the money, it’s great […]

Following on from the Lancia Beta a few weeks ago and more recently, the Lancia HPE VX (which, incidentally, sold for just £6,480), I make no apologies for featuring another Lancia as our Prime Find this week. […]

Tony Wawryk commented on the post, Jensen Interceptor or Aston Martin DB6 – Tough Choice? 5 years, 8 months ago
Yes, I know – it has the dual air intakes compared to the Interceptor’s one – I realised it afterwards but liked the idea of comparing the branding of Jensen and AM with the relative cool of Stewart and Connery […]
