Wow, what a joy it was once again to be part of The 100 Miles. For the first time in Rotterdam and we can already say it was a big success. Many happy faces, beautiful cars and enthusiastic drivers were participating in this winter night rally. Many photos and movies can be found on
our Facebook page and later this week we will have a feature about it in our online magazine. For now, it is time for us to recover and what is better than reading the interesting articles on our website.
When we saw a message about an Allard, we searched through our marketplace and also found an 1951 Allard J2 Roadster for sale here. Quite an interesting car is what we thought and we wanted to share the info with you. This one is for sale at Hyman Ltd. and they described the history very well.
Classic cars with electric power are nothing new. And some like them, while others don’t. That, too, cannot be anything novel. But Aston Martin Works has now come up with an idea that may just be the best of both worlds?
There have been many Lotus transporters, or so it seems. We remember the Ford Thames, supposedly with Coventry Climax mill under its stumpy nose. But also this Vanguard that supposedly existed in the 1950s also. But this VW Transporter was a new one to us.
We received a message from one of our readers: Digging through my files I found some photos I took back in 1957 of the subject Ferrari 212E which you featured a few months ago. The black and white photos were taken in June, 1957.
Dear reader, for us it seems a good reason to have a good look at the photograph seen here. This was taken in beautiful Paris in the late 1950’s and shows the city in a much more blissful state than it is now. It's an elegant Friday Lady in the latest fashion, with an equally fashionable sports car behind her.
On this week's Puzzle we only received 4 answers and only 2 of the top 5 participated. Was the puzzle that hard to crack? It is a rather special racer indeed.
