Nash Healeys and I clearly have a mystery connection, Zack!
With regard to the new buildings, I’ll reserve judgement until they’re completed, but certainly the images on the Bicester Heritage website – […] -

@yrhmblhst that Woody is indeed an Austin, but there were no other details on the car and this was the only photo I got. A bit of internet research suggests it’s an early 1950’s Austin A40 Countryman, but I’m not […]

Having enjoyed an excellent start to my classic year at Brooklands just a few days prior, I followed it up with a visit to another of my favourite venues, and one comparable with Brooklands in its evocation of […]

A while back we ran a piece on small coupés here at ViaRETRO, which generated more than the usual number of comments. One of the cars we discussed was a petite French coupé from Simca, which was based on the S […]

Between the ages of 18 and 52 I moved house – and occasioanlly country – 22 times; for a short while, my ever expanding piles of Motor Sport, Classic and Sportscar etc etc followed me around – as did the many […]

It’s considered a truism by many who know a great deal more about these things than I do, that the purest form of sports car is a mid-engined two-seater, usually with the engine behind the seats and ahead of the r […]

Thanks to those who have entered into the spirt of the competition so far – 3 days left, it would be good to see a few more!

Having featured a non-European car as last week’s Prime Find, I thought we’d stay away from European marques for this week, too, and I think the most obvious country to look at when focusing elsewhere apart fro […]

In the same spirit as Anders – “I’m so sorry, I lost traction….”
We’re off to a fine start – keep them coming, please!

@NielsV you’re right to say 1400 built is still a decent amount, but there are just 2 Sprint Speciales registered as on the road in the UK, with 10 off the road – I would call that rare, so while it’s entirely […]

Love these old clips, which I am ancient enough to remember from when they were first broadcast. Much of the Monty Python material has aged badly, but the Upper Class Twits sketch still resonates today as we […]

After Dave’s attempt last week to get us all into the world of trucks, I thought I’d bring us back to the somewhat more practical world of cars…but not too practical…
Here at ViaRETRO we love all classic […]

@yrhmblhst the panel van is based on a Citroen GS, and is the vehicle they used to use as a general parts pick-up and delivery vehicle. It’s certainly cool, as is the saloon it’s originally based on – my dad used […]
