What a year 1968 was! And as you point out, Claus, not just at supercar level, but across the industry, with so many of these cars becoming classics (no, not going back there!). There’s at least half a dozen that […]

Thanks Soren, Claus – EUR 25k for a very rare and very pretty car in what looks like outstanding condition from the photo…not bad!

Dave makes a really great point – all of these cars that we love to talk about, classic, old or both, are indeed part of our cultural history, and for that reason alone, they are worth preserving, irrespective of […]

Confused, moi? I thought I was clear as some very clear mud… ;) I guess ultimately one man’s (or woman’s) classic is another’s old car, and vice versa. But it doesn’t half give us loads to discuss when we’re […]

Nice report and photos, Soren, another selection of delectable cars, thanks! One of my all-time favourites, the Carrera 6, that still looks stunning even in that metallic green, and I really like the little blue […]

Er, sorry about that…

For me, there are classics, and there are plain old cars. I can’t look at an Escort XR3i and see a classic, or indeed an Astra GTE. Yet I can look at an Escort Mexico or a Kadett Rallye Coupe, and these are […]

The “6 for £50k” was just a way of saying that there are numerous classics available that can be enjoyed without blowing a fortune. That said, I’m with you on this – if I had £50k to spend, I’d get the best one, m […]

Very intriguing tale. First thing I – and I’m sure everyone else – thought when I saw the Momo Mirage was that someone had “adapted” a Fiat 130 Coupe – in profile especially, the two could almost be twins. That […]

Interesting choices, Anders, especially the Panhard – looks like Brightwells sold one for £11k, though it doesn’t say when – http://classiccars.brightwells.com/viewdetails.php?id=1427. If nothing else, we have […]

Nice report, Claus, thank you! That yellow Capri looks fantastic (and I have a weakness for bright yellow cars…), one of the nicest I’ve ever seen. Of the rest, the Facel Vega and the MB SE Coupe (3.5??) would […]

Anders, to be honest, a 12-car garage would still leave me wanting some other cars, something that I’m sure is true for all of us.
Here’s a challenge – a 6 car garage for less than £100k.
My choices would […]

Claus, I did own an E9, a 1976 registered one in silver, from 1994 to 1998, and how I wish I’d kept it…I had been offered a new job in The Netherlands that came with a company car (I chose a then-new Alfa Romeo […]

Love love love the GT4, a car I had no knowledge of before reading this piece! Gorgeous!
As for the 6-car dream garage, where to start? Assuming healthy 6-figure budget, but nearer £500k than £1m, with just o […]

I’m with Jesper on this one… :)

While I wouldn’t say no to a 6 series, it’s some way short of being the most beautiful BMW for me – the E9 and 507 win those accolades. The 6 has always seemed a bit arse-heavy to me, especially when compared with […]

Browsing the classifieds, here’s a UK-based Gamma Coupe, looks to be in super nick, and still not daft money at £13,500 – […]

Anders, not only was the 908 gorgeous, just about ALL 60s and 70s sports race cars look better than anything from the last few years – Lola T70, Ford GT40, Porsches 906. 908, the mighty 917, Ferrari 250LM, 312P, […]

My superior other half tells me I spend far too much time trawling what she calls “car porn sites”, and this post is just feeding my habit! The cars that attract my attention the most are those I grew up with ie […]

Anders, I had a look at the archive as prompted, and enjoyed the piece on the 130, as well as the 504 and particularly the Montecarlo – always liked those but mine would have to be a later car with the glass […]
