Tony Wawryk commented on the post, Den glemte Audi: Coupé GT 3 år, 2 måneder siden
In reply to: Claus Ebberfeld wrote a new post Den glemte Audi: Coupé GT Hvis ikke decideret glemt, så i hvert fald så meget i s […] VisAlways liked the Audi GT, and nowadays they represent very good value for money. While it lacks the rallying pedigree of the Quattro, I think the design is cleaner without the flared wheelarches, while not quite as stylish as its predecessor, the Coupé S, is still a very good-looking car. I am somewhat biased, as I ran one for 18 months in the…[Læs mere]

In reply to: ViaRETRO wrote a new post Weekend Matiné Nr. 455 Sensation: MG laver en ny B! Jamen, MG døde jo i 2006?!? […] VisThere was a 1950 Lancia Ardea at the Prescott Italia Day a week ago, very pretty car and the only one I have seen in the UK.
Love the Taunus GT – both it and the Opel Rekord/Commodore coupes are favourites of mine. Seeing it and the Lancia Zagato side by side you could say is an excellent contrast of the German and Italian approach to styling… -

Such a variety of really interesting classics, as well – too many to single out almost, though the Bitter is one of several that stand out for me.
Your W116 looks superb, though I’m not sure naming it after an exploding airship is the best idea… ;-)

I’m not sure about the FIAT 130 coupe, but the 914 also looks very fine in magenta.

As Claus mentions, there was a 406 Zagato, but while half a dozen examples of the notchback design (not very successful, in my view) were built,…[Læs mere]

Men det skulle […] VisA 1500HL Allegro in Zircon Blue Metallic was my first company car…not that I had any choice, as I was working for British Leyland at the time. It wasn’t terrible, but it was certainly uninspiring, and I was glad to see the back of it – fortunately we changed cars every 2-3 months. In one respect however it was ahead of its time – the “quartic”…[Læs mere]

The (Inka?) orange M1, the almost as orange Lele, the metallic green Islero – all gorgeous! And is that really two 507’s on the same stand? Real ones?

Let me start with a real jog to the memory – your Easter Bunnies are the dance group known as Pan’s People, who were on TV screens in the UK for much of the ’70’s on the weekly Top of the Pops chart show. They weren’t particularly great as dancers, but nevertheless excited a generation of adolescent boys. One of my…[Læs mere]

In reply to: Claus Ebberfeld wrote a new post Corvette: 70 år med den amerikanske drøm På Motorama i New York City i 1953 […] VisFor me, it’s the C2 and C3 that are the most desirable, especially the coupe version of the C2, which is a huge jump from the original car. I’m not keen on the later editions at all, but one of my cousins has a C8 (his 6th or 7th ‘vette, I forget which) and took me out in it last year – while the (over) styling is a taste I shall never acquire,…[Læs mere]

A musician friend of mine ran one in the late 1980’s and let me take it out for a drive, and I have to say it was tremendous fun – go-kart handling, sparkling performance, and it…[Læs mere]

In reply to: Claus Ebberfeld wrote a new post "Turen tager fem timer, men jeg kan gøre det på otte" Det var en uforbeholden […] VisI like this approach, and when not having to be anywhere for a set time, try to do the same – take the scenic route. The best way to drive a classic for me is with a window down, one elbow on the door, and cruise along at between 60-80kmh, with a stop for lunch at a nice pub if the journey is long enough.

Hi Tony
Thanks for the view on the Spanish site a good mixture of cars. I live part time in Spain around Tarragona and for many year try to get clever on the classic there and its mostly Seat 500/600 I see in Abarth trim.
Lots of the youngtimers are still in use on coventry side like Panda and Renault 4 Citroen among others
The history of Spain with Franco on the post for many year also brougth lot of america cars from the 40/50 into the coventry and you can find many in Spanish barns.
If you there this saturday and have time, you can go to Sitges south of Barcelona to this event.

Jeg har altid syntes, at en Fiat 850 Sports Coupé var og er en meg fiks og flot lille coupé. Imponerende at Fiat kunne få en då lille bil til at se så smart ud.
Men hvordan var den mon at køre i? -
Fin lille SEAT – den som Claus tidligere skrev om med den sorte næse – lidt på samme vis som på en Lancia Beta Montecarlo;

Great article, great photoes.

Hello Tony,
Nice with a fremhæver report from an Englishman in Spain.
When I was a kid, my father bought his second Fiat 127 in the mid seventies. Only difference from the first one was the Seat logos on the front fenders. It was build on the Seat factory in Spain, but still branded and sold as a Fiat -
@tony-waywryk, you certainly found some great matches: Capri/Corroda, Ford Probe/Renault Fuego, Porsche 924/Corvette C3 – simply brilliant!

In reply to: Claus Ebberfeld wrote a new post Fiat X1/9 eller Porsche 914? Spørgmålet kommer sig af, at begge modellers klubber var repræsenteret på Ret […] VisI like them both – though in each case, it would need to be the small bumper versions as shown above – and my 914 would ideally have Fuchs alloys. The FIAT is the prettier car, but I think the 914 is the better one, though I base this only on the opinions of others, as I have not driven either. Nevertheless, it would be my choice, and I’ll take it…[Læs mere]

Thanks for the report, @tony – it was the same weekend as Techno Classica in Essen, so sadly I could not be in England too.
There are some streaming video to be found here, if anyone would like to see some moving pictures and hear the engine screams as well:

What an epic min of cars. Nothing beats Goodwood, (except for the weather)…
Mix of cars 😵💫
At least the Goodwood Revival Meeting in September is warmer, @soren-w.

@Niels V – how do you recognize it as a Warwick and not a Peerless?
@jewer, the Warwick has a front clamshell-type bonnet and the Peerless a traditional seperate bonnet lid. So the red one is Tony’s photos is actually a Peerless.
@ce – hehe – that’s exactly what I thought:>)
Yes, that is a red Peerless in the photo! They were built in Slough, not far from where I used to live, and Warwick was the revived version, built only a few miles further down the road in Colnbrook.
@nielsV – when I worked for British Leyland back in the early 1980’s, my then boss actually suggested that, as I was working for a British company, I should change my Ukrainian surname to Warwick to make me more British. Of course, I refused.
