Museum Classics: Jesada Technik Museum – Part 1: The Older Stuff (Pre-1960)
Posted on August 11, 2019 | 25 CommentsCan you believe there is a guy in Thailand who went on a massive 500-car shopping spree over a few years and then thought “Well, might as well display these […] -

Posted on July 7, 2019 | 30 CommentsFollowing on from the pre-war treasures seen in Part One, here are some of the amazing post-war cars I photographed recently on the outskirts of Geneva. These will not be […] -
Car Show Classics: 2019 Concours d’Élégance Suisse (Part One – Pre-war Beauties)
Posted on July 5, 2019 | 33 CommentsThis is the first time I’ve ever been to anything like this. I mean, I’ve been to the odd local car show or museum, but this one was more on […] -
Multiple CCs: 2019 Concours d’Élégance Suisse (Part Zero – The Car Park)
Posted on July 4, 2019 | 17 CommentsI recently made a quick trip to Europe and brought back a treasure trove of exceptional CC fodder, which I will share forthwith. As an amuse-bouche for my forthcoming series/report […] -
CC Outtake: Positively Park Ward
Posted on July 2, 2019 | 16 CommentsT87’s been a bit busy of late, but hasn’t given up on CC. My last post here featured this Rolls, which I had managed to capture only three photos of […] -
In-Motion Classic: 1974 Mercedes-Benz 280 S (W116) – Drive-By CC Effect
Posted on May 22, 2019 | 11 CommentsPlease pardon some of the wonky shots – these were taken in motion, at the back of a motorbike. I have just been through a relatively acute Fintail binge (post […] -

Posted on May 6, 2019 | 22 Comments[Updated with answers] Starting tomorrow, a whole nother French Deadly Sins series will also look at this great era (and others), so let’s see revisit our classiques a bit. This […] -
Car Show Classics: A Sunday In Bordeaux (Part 2: Domestic Cars)
Posted on April 13, 2019 | 19 CommentsI’m pretty sure that there’s some French law that requires the presence of at least one Traction Avant at classic car events held on French soil, just as the must […] -
Car Show Classics: A Sunday In Bordeaux (Part 1: Foreign Cars)
Posted on April 12, 2019 | 19 CommentsI recently went to visit Bordeaux, a place more famous for its wine and its architecture than anything else. When one discovers a city for the first time, it’s always […] -
Curbside Classic: 1986 Peugeot 305 Break GLD – Gimme A Break
Posted on March 19, 2019 | 33 CommentsI’ve been meaning to write this one up. This is another ‘80s Pug from Provence, as per the 104 I wrote about a few months ago. It’s a little harder […] -
Curbside Classic: 1975 Datsun 120Y (B210) Saloon – Success Comes In Many Forms, Not All Of Them Pretty
Posted on March 12, 2019 | 57 CommentsI realize that aesthetics is a touchy and highly subjective matter, but if we’re ever going to collectively agree on one thing about car styling, let it be that Nissan […] -
CC Twofer: 1971 Datsun 1200 (B110) / 1978 Daihatsu Hijet 550 (S40) – 40 Years Ago Today
Posted on March 10, 2019 | 15 CommentsI’m not sure why I’ve written so many “Twofer” posts. It’s often a good way to write a reasonably long post on cars that are closely (or loosely) related. And […] -
CC Capsule: 1960 Peugeot 403 – Thai Frog Havana Style
Posted on February 21, 2019 | 15 CommentsWhat you see is not always what you get. Outwardly, we seem to be in the presence of a 1955-66 Peugeot 4-door saloon. But this is Thailand, not Africa. This […] -
CC Twofer: 1942 Dodge WC Power Wagon & 1972 Ford Maverick – Unlikely Pairing, Bizarre Similarities
Posted on February 13, 2019 | 39 CommentsHow’s that for a chalk-and-cheese duo? A truly historic American truck and (in my view) the only good-looking American Ford of the ‘70s, side by side in Chtuchak, in the […]
