It really is a shame that GM Holden has ceased production. Look at this 1984 Statesman, it’s a great looking car. Aussie luxury at its best.

A lot of things about this car are remarkable. For instance the fact that it’s a one owner car. That’s right, it has not changed hands since it

You don’t see that many Mini’s from the early ‘70’s. Especially not these 850’s. This one is in the Netherlands.

With the success of BMW’s bulky remake, one would almost forget that the original Mini is still being loved by collectors and fans.

They should all come to the Netherlands this weekend, because this sweet

When it was launched, the Fiat X1/9 was a spectacular little sportscar.

The design by Nuccio Bertone was crisp and sleek, the pop-up headlights and the Targa-roof were every

You can be sure to have something unique with this Citroën AM pick-up because it is a one-off. It is on auction this month in Switzerland.

Usually, it’s 2CV’s that are used for all sorts of strange conversions.
This time though it is a Citroën Ami that has been turned into a pick-up.

Not many of these cars are around. In fact, we could find only one other that is offered for sale. No wonder, less than 50 were ever produced. And that was more than 50 years ago.
