@Dave – for some reason the thought of a Yugo 45 hadn’t crossed my mind, can’t think why…
Joking aside, were I ten or more years younger, it’d be the 944 no question, but performance matters much less to me now […] -

I would think the vast majority of classic car enthusiasts are familiar with the little rear-engined Hillman Imp, and its badge-engineered siblings the Singer Chamois and Sunbeam Imp Sport. Introduced to the world […]

Looks like you’re having a lot of fun with this one, Anders! I had a friend who had a lesser version back in the late 1990’s, the 318ti, but it was a pretty good car even with “just” 140bhp, so it’s not hard to […]

Claus, congratulations on your “new” Corvette! As you might expect me to say, it’s not a car I would ever own – indeed I have previously gone the 996 route, twice – but nevertheless I understand why you chose it […]

It’s an accepted fact (or should be) that Opel’s from the late 1950’s through to the mid 1980’s are unquestionably cool – everyone knows this. The Opel Rekord P2, the Opel Kapitän – a car I remember seeing in Germ […]

I’m with our American friend on this one – black wheels are just wrong. I do however have to agree with Dave regarding the unsuitability of wires on many cars – the Rover P6 pictured looks especially silly. In […]

Just for clarification – there was no press release attached to this data; all thoughts and comments are entirely my own, and not aiming to make any particular point – hence the title of the piece. And of course, […]

After what has felt like an eternity – though has in fact been less than four months (so far, at least) – the classic car world is slowly waking up from it’s enforced slumbers, as relaxations in social dista […]

How cool to read that one of our Prime Finds – and a pretty unusual even for us – found a home with one of our readers! Despite the fact that a little extra money has had to be spent, I still think the Bitter was […]

@NielsV – that swooping fastback bears a strong resemblance to this Bentley Continental Coupe, I think – and is of course none the worse for it!

A couple of weeks ago we featured as our Prime Find a car that was a typical small French classic – quirky, slow, noisy, rolls around like a boat on a storm-tossed sea, but exuding Gallic charm and a sense of f […]

Here at ViaRETRO we generally tend to write about cars that are 30-plus years old, with Youngtimers only featuring occasionally, such as the 1999 Jaguar S-Type that Dave Leadbetter wrote about recently. For this […]

With regard to the comments about the price, yes it’s more than most Ro80’s, but the one thing I will say is that this is claimed to be a fully restored car – of course there are cheaper Ro80’s available (though […]
