Could be any one of a number of extreme wedge-shaped cars, reduced to the most basic lines, but the one it brings to my mind is the Lancia Stratos, especially this one-off design study I saw at the NEC a couple of years ago.

@ce – I can highly recommend Strasbourg for at least a day visit!

Hi Peter, thank you for reading, and for your kind comments regarding the 220S – it was alongside outstanding company in the Iso!

Back in 1987, an MR2-owning friend of mine lent me his keys to try the car out as I was contemplating buying one, and I have to say it was a fantastic drive, with more than adequate performance and cornered as if on rails. It also looked – still looks – very cool, and I was sorely tempted, but in the end my head over-ruled my heart as it just…[Læs mere]

An interesting story about a car I’ve never heard of, and both road and track versions of the Bianco look pretty cool, in my opinion. The green one you mention, Claus, does indeed look tremendous – and I don’t generally like green on cars other than the British Racing variety – as does the red one for sale. ViaRETRO is educational as well as fun!

Oops – forgot the photo….

The FIAT Vignale is a lovely thing – I’ve never seen one in the UK, even at Italian-themed meetings, though I have seen a few other Vignale-bodied FIATS here, possibly my favourite being this 1957 FIAT Vignale Wonderful (yes, they called it that) that I saw at the Hampton Court Concours a few years ago. Notable not just for it’s beauty, but also…[Læs mere]

Just about my favourite exterior colour on a classic is yellow (per my BMW 2002), but most of the yellow cars I have seen had a black interior (as did mine), which is not my favourite. A combination I really like is red exterior with tan leather interior – Mercedes SL’s of all generations carry this combination exceptionally well – in fact this…[Læs mere]

@niels v – with regard to the Muntz, it seems they don’t all look the same – see photo – though most of them do have the front bumper arrangement of the one in the photo you posted. As to the number, which comes from the museum, the word “believed” is the key here ;-).

@Jens, yes, John Surtees would be the first 507 owner I would think of, ahead of Elvis or Stuck, though that may just be because I’m British. Whatever, for me, the 507 is an all-time great design, one for my dream garage.

Interesting point about Peugeot ignoring the BMW series of three-digit model numbers containing a zero, yet jumping all…[Læs mere]

When the 190 first came out, I wasn’t very impressed – I thought it looked too plain to carry the three-pointed star. However, in recent years, it has grown on me, and I’d be quite happy to own a 190E, with the 2.0-litre engine as a minimum, and with the 2.5, maybe even above an E30 325i…

I was never a fan of the XJ-S, although the convertible was OK, I guess, but the Lister didn’t improve an already ungainly car and this restomod…if it ends up looking like the visualisation, well, you got the title right – a Frankenstein of a car, too much of everything except style, of which it has none.

Big fan of the 504, especially the Cabrio and Coupé, both very rare here in the UK. The Coupé is especially cool, almost hard to believe it’s based on the saloon.

Morten, that’s correct – you only need Fellowship, which is what I have. There is aa long waiting list for full membership. Glad you enjoyed the Revival – it’s an epic event!

It’s worth it, Claus – even if you only join for one year and go just once!

As always, an interesting read over my Saturday morning coffee (actually I have coffee every morning, but since today is Saturday…).

The BMW 503 is an all-time great, in my book – as is the 507 – but will be forever out of my reach. Beautiful car.

The museum at Gaydon is a mere 45 minutes or so from me and I have visited it a number of…[Læs mere]
