Gents, many thanks for your kind words and comments.
@niels V – yes, Claus, Anders and I have discussed this a little and that is what probably will happen (and I hinted at that in my note above) – we’re […] -

As we come to the close of another turbulent year, sadly we also come to the end of the road for the International edition of ViaRETRO.
It’s become increasingly clear that we are losing the fight to attract […]

After a couple of disrupted classic years thanks to the pandemic, 2022 was a year without cancelled shows or events, and in some cases, such as the Practical Classics show at the NEC, took place for the first time […]

@Asgeir – you are correct – it’s a typo, good spot, thank you, and has been corrected. Sometimes I miss the wood for the trees. In fact the DVLA has it as registered in January 1965. Thanks again!

Classic estate cars have featured very rarely in our Prime Find slot (I’m not including shooting brake type cars such as the Lancia HPE or Reliant Scimitar GTE here). They’re often favoured by antique dealers and […]

This week’s Prime Find is a fairly new car by our standards, being – just – a 1990’s car, but since 30 years is generally deemed to be the age at which a car qualifies as a classic, this big Mercedes coupé q […]

Didn’t sell – very surprised at that.

Bidding stopped at just £13,500 – am surprised, thought it might reach the bottom end of the estimate.
Edit – sold “in the back office” for £15,680 including commissions.

A few weeks back we celebrated the 60th birthday of the Ford Cortina and the 40th of its successor, the Sierra, with a brief run through of those models’ histories.
This weekend – but a day early to give you […]

Glad you enjoyed the piece, Roy – it was good to see some German Fords among the plethora of Brits. I remember these cars very well from regular family holidays in Germany throughout the 1960’s and ’70’s
