DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Nice warm day in the garage, so despite fighting off the last round of 'covid' (or whatever I've been blitzed by) decided the time was ripe to oil change the 3.2 in the hillclimb Lola. First event is just 5 weeks away, so time to stir it into action, or at least show willing. It's great to work on ...

The Walker car was £49k it was a drophead, the Duckworth car was £39k it was a fixed head. All these plus the Buyers Premium. It was interesting that the “last” Sprint also a fixed head was £45k, without any celebrity tag Hi Mike 'My Bad', I miss-read the walker car as £40K, still plenty of "d...

- The market has spoken! It said don't sell all your celebrity Elans at the same auction Competition for the car with Emm-appeal was fierce setting a world record £146k + fees (estimate £80-£120k). None of the other famous Elans made low estimate. If your teen crush was Cosworth engineer Keith Duck...

Hi All I may be way behind the times here but Sky Arts showed this (2020) documentary last night... It's well worth a watch, lots of great footage of mid 60's F1 cars, drivers, sports racing cars and even a few Porsche road cars dotted around the pits. If you haven't seen it its well worth a watch! ...

Narrow(!) bodied C2S next to my 550 Rep and bare in mind the rep's at least an inch wider than the real thing…

Hi All
I can't help feeling even as a lightweight bit of fun classic car show that the latest season has gone down hill (it never exactly set a high bar).

PS. My god those replica Fuchs wheels looked awful.

I go to Ninemeister. Warrington J21 M6 I'd second this, they've done a great job looking after my 997 for the last five years. If your looking with regard to a 50's to 70's car then I'd recommend Mike Bainbridge Engineering near Kendal, it's a little further away but worth the travel. All the best ...

Sure, its a fine wee drop 'The Jay', but the '18' now that's grand if some what more painful on the wallet..!

Hi All Time for a new years (OK, it’s a little late) update, the plan for this year was to spend some surplus cash on ‘resurrecting’ my Hi-Fi (It’s been left in the boxes it was packed in when I moved five years ago) and just drive rather than play about with cars, but the motoring Gods have other p...

Hi All Yesterday, I removed my 550 reps harness in an attempt to dry them out… https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230105/17a4f9b97e010cf9a08f5f8f978669f2.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230105/ab556c3f4cae661ea73c5f0325b4db0b.jpg Today if the rain holds off I’ll remove the tonneau cover and t...

Hi Guys
Sadly they didn't mention the yellow DeTomaso Vallelunga tucked away in a corner, I've always fancied one of the (very few) Lotus Twin Cam engined cars they built.
Not that they built a lot of them with the ford engine for that matter.

All the best

And a thousand mile in already which is brilliant and as it should be.

Thanks Gary...

Hi All
Yesterday I fitted rear latch covers to the ‘rep’.
More details on the ‘Replicas’ forum…
