DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Too many cars to show here, but here are some past masters that I still have images of . From the 70''s Opel Commodore GS Coupe. My everyday business car for 4 years. Comfortable, quick and utterly reliable. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49704892057_515b531b3b_b.jpg Late 80's Family cars. Jagu...

Vic - it's a one-off Frua-bodied SM from 1972.

Vague similarities to a Maserati Khamsin - especially from the front ...

And a Merak back.

A big favourite of mine, and currently on offer at Tom Hartley whom I assume took the picture of My old 1983 Jalpa - one of just 36 RHD examples and still sitting on the Campagnolo Silhouette wheels that took me 3 years to source. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49584722616_2b541c5565_c.jpg My c...

I used to love buying Car magazine back in the late 1960s/early ’70s - it was full of dream cars like this. Look how low the Stratos Zero is – it barely reaches the door handles of the Alfa alongside. Wonderful! Legend has it that when Bertone delivered the car to the Lancia factory for inspection,...

I am actually a road man. But I am not actually getting a 599. As I suspected I also missed the interaction of a manual box. I want something more B-road raggable. King of the 'B' roads, with room for the mother in law and a folding bike. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49652185132_29232cd39e_b...

Lots of Porsche for sale at Ascot Historics on March 7th.

This lancia Hyena just made £168k at Silverstone Auctions. An enthusiast commissioned
Zagato to produce 24 cars that were essentially lightened Integrale's with added power.
Could be fun.

Famous actress / model https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200219/e0fd8d54b59bee3ee439cce6ac7a70fe.jpg Brigitte Bardot, 1966 Méribel. "A Rolls-Royce is a rare spot, even in the wealthy destinations of Paris or Cannes, so it’s particularly surprising to see Brigitte Bardot lost on the icy roads ...

So Sam, If when you've tested them, and for whatever reason you find that modern supercars don't fit the bill how about something like this 3.0 CSi from 1975. 200 BHP when new and could be fettled by a specialist to a much higher output, a huge boot for a bike, 2+ 1 seating, a surprisingly welcoming...

123 is the way to go.
looks original and does what it says

Although I never meet Chris in person, he serviced my 1950's Solex carb and I found him to be a goldmine of information. When DHL mislaid the carb, rather than just call their office he spent the best part of an afternoon in their office trying to locate it. Eventually it was discovered that DHL tho...

Daft modern cars definitely seem on the rapid slide. A friend bought a 20k mile 2017 McLaren 540 this week for £70k, dealers had apparently been bidding the previous owner £65k. They were retailing at £85-90k a few months ago. Well Sam , there might be a different reason regarding current McLaren p...

12 years ago I applied to the council to build a triple wooden garage at the end of my garden. They refused on account of interference to the radial root system of my giant Corsican Pine trees. They allowed me a double instead. Nice having a complete stranger 'allowing' me what to do ? I decided to...
