DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

That yellow Koenig sold recently.

Looks like it could be great fun / financially ruinous.

Not sure there’s much to see here.

Porsche remind Singer not to take the p155 and Kev says restomod cars built in sheds by hand aren’t as good as ones built by major manufacturers in factories by zillion euro robots using lasers.

I mothballed my 914 for a couple of years because the engine was making a horrific rattle and I couldn’t face the bill.

It was a bit of gravel in the fan.

Doesn’t really have a market value - worth what somebody will pay you! Guess it’s an ETA 2824 inside, decent movement and used in many very expensive watches 2824 sounds right, thanks. I think I’ll see if anyone wants it for the original price and drop it from there if not. Where’s a good place to ...

Smashing, thanks Andy.

Next up.

A pair of chromed steel horn grills with two mounting screws. No part numbers. Are these good for all LWB cars? Any idea if they og or aftermarket, I don’t know how to tell.

Hello friends. I’ve found a box of bits. I probably put them away thinking I’d remember what they’re off, but I can’t. Please can you help me work out what they are so I can accurately find new homes for them. First up is an engine lid grill. 13 horizontal bars, 5 vertical bars. Looks to be dark ano...

Long-term Sam enthusiasts may remember that before I became aware of the spiritual futility of exchanging my labour for money I had a job at Paul Stephens for 18 months or so in 2010ish. During that time we had these watches made. They were made by Elysee in Germany with a 25 jewel automatic ETA 28x...

I’m no expert, but shouldn’t that VIN have stars or asterisks either end? I know they changed the style in 1971 but I thought they all had either stars or asterisks still…

I’ve always thought the optimum for a GT3 is driver bucket and passenger sport seat.

Racey feelz and bum clamping for the driver but retains access to the luggage space. Plus echoes of early race cars that had that sort of set up.

It drove really well, but was backdated and painted on the sort of teeny budget that made sense on a £15k car - I bet it looked a lot sharper after that Jaz resto.

I had FCZ9211 as a kinda ST thing with red decals and minilites maybe 15 years ago. I did many sweet skids in that car for a year or two. That was in the days when £15k got you a useable hot rod that you didn’t have to be precious about. Happy times.

Don’t go to Nuremberg.

It’s quite a long way from the Nurburgring.

Really keen on this at the moment ! https://www.nickcartwright.com/car_sales/308-gtb-2/ Just working out what I'd need to sell to get it ....... Yes! There can never be enough black Ferraris at DDK meets. Amazing what some gold wheels and nicely judged amounts of alcantara can do for the vibe of a ...

I’m quite judgey, so make up your own mind and they do get good guests.

Listen to the Richard Bremner ones. That guy is one of us. Frankel ain’t.

I went in with no preconceptions, tbh. Found myself tuning out a bit but still managed to get to the end. Still haven't managed to finish an Intercooler or Collecting Cars one yet. The new Inter Cooler has Jonny Smith on, so is just about listenable. At one point Frankel literally seriously honestl...
