DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Surely you watched aTop Gear where the team bought three old supercars, took them to Castle Combe and got them all soundly heated by a Turbo diesel Astra. Most modern cars handle extremely well and corner fast than oldies. We all know that, but we still love oldies. This ting has a GP engine and mig...

Not taken by me, but a lovely image

Fraid so. My chum doesn’t drive his 964 for the same reason. He was surprised how much better my Boxster was when he drove it. Absolutely. There’s no shame on getting old. Wait til he tries a Kia Ceed. They’re super economical and the radio has lovely big buttons. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] My son...

That looks a lovely car, I do hope it finds an appreciative home. I must admit that although I love driving my 356C, the 981 is the one I use most simply because it’s rides and drives so beautifully. Basically Ashley that’s why I’ve changed my stable over the past couple of years - switched from th...

Chassis was alright on this one, but it needed a new bulkhead

Will that rear end tolerate that Hemi?

Yes. It has the appropriate two speed rear axle. It was built in around 1950, so an original California hotrod with documented history

An old friends very nice 964 Carrera 4, it’s unspoiled and original but for Komi springs and dampers and being a little lower. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52667685632_1a7324fc82_c_d.jpg He’s bought a 2 CV for normal motoring after a load of Golf’s and Audis, a bit of a culture shock but fun....

A friend has sold his Macan and bought a Bentley GTC, the V8 one so it’s only 500bhp, felt fast enough to me. Not a great looker but impressive nonetheless and seems to have the same door hinges as my 981S. However this meant he decided he couldn’t keep his Porsche design, in car Espresso machine an...

Almost ready to go on the chassis



Here’s his Instagram page and more photos if you’re interested. It has all the best bits with it

This one is almost perfect.

that looks lovely ! - the interior looks epic. - so good to see another RHD B I have the same steering wheel actually on my 356. how do you find the engine, poke wise... is it much better than the original ? cheers Joe I never had a standard 1600cc engine so hard to say other that it’s surprisingly...

Here’s a a walk around of my 1964 356c, which has a 100bhp engine, it’s 1725cc, has a counterbalanced crank, 912 camshafts, 123 distributor and Chinese Solexes. Steering wheel is a Nardi and the trim kit came from Lakewell.Com

Replacement parts are a nightmare for any make of old car, even from official suppliers. I’ve rebuilt many cars and bikes over the years, most recently 2x MK VI Bentleys, Bristol 400, TR3A, AH 3000 and my 356. I won’t even bother to list all the grief it causes, but imagine doing it for a living, co...

I love old photos of sidecar racers. They were a crazy bunch imo
