Anders, let me think about that…oh, OK ;)

@anders and @claus – there is indeed a very wide choice of 2+2 coupés, and I freely admit this wasn’t a comprehensive survey. However, the reason I didn’t include the GTE is simple – I don’t think of it as a […]

This little gem sold for just £5,936 including premium – for a virtually unused car.

Sold for £4,240 including premium – not a lot of money for a car like this.

Volvo cars have many admirable qualities. Famed for their attention to safety, their ruggedness, reliability and ability to tolerate severe Scandinavian winters, Volvo’s are generally seen as sound all-round f […]

A story on our Danish website last week prompted me to start thinking about classics that were seen as direct alternatives when new, and remain so now. In fact, we might make a series out of it…
I thought w […]

Ah, but there is a 5th gen Nova – although it would be easy to dismiss it as not a proper one, since it was based on the Toyota Sprinter (itself based on the Corolla), which is no doubt why it came in under 4m […]

If you were to ask people, especially those who only have a peripheral interest in our hobby (there’s clearly something wrong with those folk), to name a few classic British cars, you can be sure that among models […]

The eagle-eyed among you will have noticed the slight change in the title of this week’s Prime Find, and there’s a good reason for that – having just finished preparing this piece, it seems the chosen car has now […]

Thought you might have a preference for the Opels and Alfas :)
I had a look at the US cars you mention, John – and except the 5th generation Nova at 4m 22cm (the 1st gen was 4m 65cm), and Mustang II at 4m 44cm, […] -

A while back we ran a piece about small coupés, which we defined as having engines of 1.3-litres or smaller, rather than by body size. For many drivers, these are a compromise between a wind-in-the-hair […]

@yrhmblhst – forthright as ever :)
Lots to respond to….first to clarify – I only said Berry and Springsteen were “perhaps” the artists most associated with the motor car, I wasn’t attempting to be definitive, […] -

I don’t think I’m being unfair if I say that Hillman isn’t the first name that comes up when you ask a classic car enthusiast what their dream car might be. The name has a  history of motor car manufacture going […]

Tony Wawryk commented on the post, When a Facelift Actually Turns Out to be Better 6 years, 6 months ago
I have to say that much as I like the original DS, the facelift works even better for me, updating a design that was already iconic by the late 1960’s and actually improving on it – the headlights are beautifully […]

I love the idea of Alfa’s, I really do – I like this car, I like all the Bertone models through the ’60’s, and many others…but I have a mental block about owning one.
After years of German and British cars I […] -

Since there was sooo much good stuff at both Brooklands and Bicester over the first week of the year, making it impossible to feature many of the classics at both venues, I thought it might be a good idea to throw […]
