I know, @tony-wawryk. And I am a BIG fan of brown. In fact this car is very nearly perfect for me :-).

Agreed, @tony-wawryk – but I still think that makes it just about the most expensive Elite I’ve ever seen sold. Great car!

@tony-wawryk – Instead the NEC will no doubt have some fabulously quirky little British creations which weren’t present in Padua. I’ve always enjoyed the NEC to be honest – even if there’s less glamour than in […]

@tony-wawryk, it was indeed great to meet up again. I hope we are given another opportunity some time soon…

It IS a lot of money, @tony-wawryk ! But thinking of what else to use your time and money on it seem to me that a classic car for 100,000 sure is one of the better alternatives.

And of course I agree with both […]

There’s certainly much to like in your photos @tony-wawryk – thx for sharing… :-)

I agree entirely with you on both the Morgan SLR and the elegant Delehaye 135.
Many of those tin-top touring cars are […]

@tony-wawryk, that does indeed make the originals seem even better value than they already were! Which then presents the very obvious question: Will the new Continuations drag up the value of the originals? If […]

@tony-wawryk, looking through the auction results, there seems to have been some quite decent deals to be had. Many of the lower estimates were in my opinion – and of course depending on what would have been […]

@steenmp, the pleasure was entirely mine buddy… ;-)

@tony-wawryk, I believe insisted on the maroon Grifo with the early front, so it’s taken. Seeing as I opted for the Bizzarrini, I’ll let you have the gold […]

Well, I fall in a very different camp from that of @yrhmblhst and @tony-wawryk, so I’m with you 100% on this one Claus. For starters, there are so many fabulous classics from the Land of the Rising Sun which I […]

@tony-wawryk, to be honest, it’s not often I find myself with wet 343 dreams either. But that said, if the 363 CS had entered a limited production run, I would have been more than happy to have such an entirely […]

Whoooooaar…. I genuinely don’t know where to start. @claus-ebberfeld, this is indeed sensory overload!

@tony-wawryk, I’m with you 100% on the Grifo, and perhaps even more so on the excellent Gordon Keeble. […]

@tony-wawryk & @yrhmblhst
Gents, you’re right – there are better colours for the Torino. But both of you know as well as I do, that when purchasing a classic car, you simply must always prioritise condition […]

@tony-wawryk, Tatton is indeed a big show – massive in fact! And yes, the DG Alpine was lovely – so much so that I surprised myself by having it as one of my favourites of the whole show.
The Quattro stand was […]

Great report @tony-wawryk. This site is nearly a constant reminder that I soon need to visit UK for some serious classic events

@tony-wawryk, good man, LED’s just look all wrong in a classic. Kind of like wearing a pair of Adidas trainers with your best Italian tailored suit…

I don’t think it is an entirely unfair comparison, @tony-wawryk . Actually Lotus the road cars and Lotus the race cars were two entirely different entities, which although placed side by side had different staff […]

@tony-wawryk, I’m with you all the way! Damn shame that Volvo
management didn’t have the hart to put it into production.
The 2000GTZ is IMHO one of the most tasteful Zagato designs. Normally I find Zagato […]

@tony-wawryk and @yrhmblhst, you’re pulling in separate directions and I’m thus still stuck on this damned fence…

Indeed @tony-wawryk, the original Elite is not just a hugely innovative construction, but also immensely beautiful. But as with so many of Chapman’s idea’s, being a leading force with new technology brings both […]
