It is amazing how the shape of this car talks to us. Immediately when you see it, you know that this car was built for just one purpose: to drive as fast as possible. The curved shapes make it look energetic and muscular, as an athlete ready to start. The rounded back side reminds us

A charming little Simca coupé

September 15, 2017

The French automaker Simca produced conventional automobiles during the 1940’s and ‘50’s: rear-wheel drive cars with the engine in the front. But in 1961 they came with a new, small car, the Simca 1000.

This car had the engine in the back, similar to the Volkswagen Beetle and also similar to the small cars of

Not just anybody’s little Austin

September 14, 2017

For sale

Strange things can happen to cars that are for sale. Take this little 1959 Austin A35, for instance. It looks wonderful, looks as if it has been fully restored. That should be worth some money.

Yes, some money indeed. But the owner, who is in Germany, asks EUR 22,500 for it.

Huh?

You see,

They still exist, cars that were bought new a long time ago and then kept by the same owner for decades. This Opel Commodore was bought brand new in 1968 by a German dentist. He took really good care of it. In all those years, he drove only 114,000 kilometers with the car, it is

Here’s Lotus Esprit number 30

September 9, 2017

For sale

You may think: where have I seen this car before? That could be in several places. For instance, you may have seen it at the NEC Classic Motorshow in Birmingham in the UK, last november, when this car was exhibited on the Restoration Show there. Or you may have seen it in Practical Classics magazine

The smallest limousine on earth

September 7, 2017

For sale

Throughout history, there has always been a good relationship between Greece and the United Kingdom. Perhaps that explains the relatively large amount of British classic cars that we find on the website Car.gr. One of them is this remarkable little limousine: a Vanden Plas 1100.

In the early 1960’s, British Motor Corporation was working on

September 6, 2017

For sale

The French Amilcar-factory was best known for its racing cars during the 1920’s, in the first years of its existence. In the 1930’s the firm started struggling. The Pégase was an attempt in 1934 to produce a medium sized car. The 2.2-liter four cylinder engine was from Delahaye, later a stronger 2.5-liter engine was on

A Rolls-Royce Beetle and a Fiat surprise

September 6, 2017

For sale

On the Italian website Kijiri we found this rather special Volkswagen 1303 convertible. The Beetle, or Maggiolino as it is called in Italian, is a car that is often used for creative outbursts. People have built all sorts of weird cars on Beetle chassis. This here is one of them, the car has received a

Oops… is this really a Model A Ford?

September 4, 2017

For sale

It’s a charming little Model A Ford that we see here, right? It’s offered on a Dutch website by an online auction house. The car looks to be in reasonable condition, but why is this pre-war car on 1980’s cast alloy wheels? The interior doesn’t look like a 1930’s car at all, I mean, what

Lancia Prisma: the young executive’s pride and joy

September 2, 2017

This Lancia Prisma might be something to consider. It is on offer in Roma, Italy and looks to be in remarkable condition. The mere fact that it is still in existence is a bit of a miracle already. The car dates back to 1985, has a 1.600 cc engine that runs on LPG and had

For sale

If you want a classic car with something extra, here’s your chance. This Porsche 911 is an original Belgian police car. It belonged

Real Italian jeeps

September 1, 2017

For sale

Somehow we don’t think of Italians cars when four wheel drive vehicles are the subject. But the Italians have produced several Jeep-like vehicles. You thought the Alfa Romeo Stelvio was new? No way, in the fifties Alfa Romeo already had a 4WD in production, the Matta. It was even used by the Italian army for

A heroic failure: the Australian Leyland P76 V8

Posted: January 22, 2020

British Leyland was already in big trouble when they decided to design a full-size saloon car for the Australian market. And guess what? It was even a pretty good car. But still, production stopped within two years. In the 1960s and ‘70’s the Australian car market was dominated by the large cars, like the Ford […]
