Karosserie Baur is a well-known name to BMW enthusiasts in particular. The German coachbuilder was actually based in Stuttgart yet did very little work for that city’s most famous motor manufacturers. Working i […]

Was a grand day out and a pleasure to share the day with you, Dave – I can see me returning to Donington for next year’s event!

@niels – we are certainly lucky here to get so many events, but Bicester is a particularly great venue and every event there is special.

The 959 is one of those cars that justifies the word “awesome” – to see two in one morning was very special.
Good to see you at Donington, Dave, look forward to your write-up(s)! -

The Volkswagen Beetle is one of motoring history’s most significant cars, in terms of its impact, longevity and of course sales numbers. Officially known as the Type 1, it’s long been far better known by its nick […]

@niels – if you can, you absolutely must go to at least one of either the Revival or the Members’ Meeting, both are fabulous events.

Although one of the oldest names in British motoring history, dating back to 1896, Daimler as an independent manufacturer only lasted until 1910, when it was acquired by the Birmingham Small Arms Company (BSA, […]

Perhaps surprisingly, we have yet to feature a Citroën DS in our Prime Find of the Week slot. They come up for sale reasonably often – after all, the DS was built for a very long time, from 1955 to 1975, with so […]

It’s less than six months since the last Goodwood Members Meeting, or 78MM, was held, having been thrice-postponed as a result of the pandemic, resulting in it taking place in the Autumn as opposed to its t […]

Having featured a Prime Find last week from a country with only a short and relatively minor part in the history of the world’s motor car production, we turn to another, but where DAF stopped making cars some d […]

It’s occasionally hard to believe how old some cars are, and for me, the Porsche 944 is one of those.
Throughout most of the 1960’s Porsche’s line up consisted of effectively two versions of the same car – […]

Most of the time our Prime Finds tend to come from countries with substantial motor industry sectors – the UK, Germany, Italy and France in Europe, the US and Japan; these are, after all, the world’s major car pro […]

This week’s Prime Find takes me back to when I was learning to drive around 1975. While the first car I drove was my father’s 1967 Volvo 144E, most of my lessons were in a Triumph Toledo, blue, as I recall. Our […]

Thanks Dave – it was a really good show, with – yes – the usual terrible lighting; required lots of moving around to try to avoid reflections where possible but sometimes there is no escape!

@Philip – thanks for the extra info! Did they treat your lovely classic with respect? One hears stories of production companies not always treating loaned cars very well. One small (sic!) point – it was Tom […]

A few months ago we featured one of Ford Germany’s big saloons, a 17M, from an era when Ford’s German division made cars quite distinct from the UK counterparts. This week’s Prime Find is another German […]
