CLASSICAR GARAGE NEWSLETTER 203, 27 FEBRUARY 2025 |
|
|
Dear classic car enthusiast,
This year marks the 25th anniversary of the founding of ClassicarGarage, on December 1, 2000, the website (version 1.0) went live. Ten years ago, the current website (version 2.0) went live on May 1. Time has flown by, and thousands of beautiful classic cars have been driven and photographed and wonderful restoration projects have been followed. You can find the photo reports with engine sounds, (technical) data, and brand information of 1747 classics and sports cars (and 68 projects) in our archives.
The past few weeks have probably been the most varied ever with a Mini Cooper 'pocket rocket', a super-fast and very rare BMW Z1 Alpina, a beautiful Lancia HPE Volumex with one compressor, a spectacular Bentley 'Turner Supercharged Special' with TWO compressors, a rally prepared Porsche 356 1600 with boxer engine, a super cool Lancia Fulvia coupé with V4 engine, a tough but polished Land Rover 88 with modernized chassis, and many more special classics that you will find below.
If ClassicarGarage were a magazine, a comparative test between the Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 from 1966 and the 32 years newer Ferrari 456M GTA from 1998 would be made. Both V12 powered Ferrari 2+2 GTs follow the same concept and are comparable in so many ways. However, the feeling and the experience are so different that you would want to have them next to each other in your garage to occasionally enjoy one 'world' and then the other; and that repeatedly...
'On to SPRING! Enjoy the Ride!'
With best regards,
Marc Vorgers
