That’s a lot of style and elegance for the money, when you look at alternatives in today’s market. Like most saloon-derived coupes, much better looking than it’s saloon counterpart. Not sure that it suits red so […]

PS it may well be that you super-nerds knew all this already, in which case, apologies!!

I always liked the Peerless, one of which I think is the bottom right b&w photo above? Made in Slough, using TR3 running gear, at a time when Citroens were also still manufactured there. Another favourite of […]

Anders, I can’t believe you are implying that I killed a potential future classic ;) – it was a tatty 1st gen car belonging to my ex-pat friends who I was visiting, and already dying on it’s wheels in ’85, yet was […]

Claus, whatever else you do with your handsome SLC, please please please don’t play any ABBA…Chic, or Earth Wind and Fire, that’d be more like it ;)

Wonderful pictures, Anders – impressed by the variety, expected HK to be dominated by Japanese cars. In my first 2 (of 3) visits to HK 1985 and 88, I pootled around in a knackered old Honda Accord; it might be […]

Interesting idea – and not the same as “all show and no go”; for this I would look at cars with sporting pretensions but didn’t have the power to back those up eg the 1.1 litre version of Opel’s GT. My suggestion […]

Wow, what a find – not seen one for a looong time; these Glas coupes still look great today. It’ll be a brave man or woman who takes this one on though; I’m guessing many parts are not available and it will […]

Claus, the variety – and higgeldy-piggeldyness (not a word, I know, but it should be) – at Bicester is one of its main attractions, plus access to so many of the workshops. This was my second visit and I intend to […]

Further to the Audi 100S Coupe – maybe it’s not as under-rated as I thought – only 3 available on mobile.de, none on carandclassic, and the prices are not cheap – a very nice looking one for EUR 32,800, and a […]

Love these photos, especially the lead one! Sadly, such glamorous advertising would be deemed unsuitable today – seems it’s all about mythical lifestyles these days. Also a big fan of this generation of Audis, […]

Sounds good – I plan to arrive between 8.30 and 9, and to park with the BMW club. Will WhatsApp you Anders when I’m there – see you guys then!

I’ll look out for the June event, Dave, thanks for the heads up! By the way, anyone going to Bicester this coming Sunday? Weather forecast is cold, but dry…

Looks like this was quite an event, Dave – I’ve been going to the Brooklands New Year’s Day Gathering for the past three years, and this was the first year I missed it (family visit to Wales). Will be a difficult […]

Hi Claus, I think when I wrote “rellies” you thought I meant “rallies”? “Rellies is in fact just a slang way of saying “relations” – I have a number of aunts, uncles and cousins around the Ulm area (my mother was […]

Covered just under 1800 miles in my tii last year, which was mainly to shows and events – Silverstone twice, Goodwood, Duxford, Gaydon and others, so not bad, but I would also like to do more this year – am […]

Ha! You didn’t hear it, Anders, but what an idea….!!

Great engine, I’m sure, but a very boring car to look at, imo – but as I’ve previously said, I’m shallow. I’d take a 130 Coupe over one of these any day…
