Ever seen the double chevron like this on an early 2CV ?

Author: Paris reporter Sunday, 05 February 2012

The ulta low mileage 2CV that was sold at Artcurial at Retromobile was showing this intricate detail on the C 'post'. We wonder if this is a known addition, or that is was added by one of the previous owners. The car was delivered new in 1965 to to Harrah's Automobile Collection in Beverley Hills, Californis and is said not have covered more than 116 miles since.

Ashley 1172 but what Model??

Author: Ivor Coster Thursday, 26 January 2012

Hi Guys,

This car looks like an Ashley 1172 but it's not standard, does anyone know more about it, was it a prototype for the US market?
Or maybe just Americanised by the owner, as I believe it was restored and resprayed Red and sold in Miami last year.
I have photo's of it them and will be adding to my website soon:

1959 MGA touring in New Zealand.

Author: Kyra & Jim Wareing Sunday, 04 December 2011

Kyra & Jim Wareing like to tell us about their MGA that like many others started life in the USA. It was black at the time and of course Left Hand drive. It was imported into New Zealand in the early 1990s's and given a full restoration and converted to RH Drive. The upmarket dash board was added at this time. It's a fun little car to travel around New Zealand's great touring roads, provided you dont take much luggage.

DKW with a unclear history

Author: Joop Terpstra Sunday, 02 October 2011

Dear readers,

After three years of owning the DKW F91 Karmann Kabriolett that I bought in Lissabon-Portugal I still know little history of this particular car. I bought it from a F. Almeida Antonio, a curious colector of some 300 classics. He restored the car and brought it on the market in early 2009. Antonio bought the car from a retired german guy, a Mr. Peter Friedrich Runte he lived with his wife and two children in Cascais and Peter owned the car some twenty years, from 1984 untill 2003 or 2004. But before 1984 there is no history, besides a so called 'Registro de Propriedade' dating 8th of May 1954. First owner is hard to read on this document but I try: it is a Baptista Co elho and he lived on the G.Alexandre Herculano 43 Lisboa. My question is if someone knows the man or the family? He bought the car and I would like to know where the car went in those thirty years before Peter Friedrich Runte bought the car. Unfortunately Peter died last year and when I made contact with him he was already very sick and in and out the hospital. But his brother from Germany who cleaned out the house in Cascais, after Peter passed away, found a few photos of the car. They are taken in the early 80's when the car still was the original black colour and had the numberplates FB-20-53. Maybe someone in Portugal can help me with completing the history of this rare twostroke car? I would like to search the registor of cars of the early 50's downtown Lissabon but that is ofcourse difficult to realise. Thanks for any little information or old photos or stories, all is more than welcome!

My 1963 Rover 3 Lt Drophead

Author: Bruce Duncan Sunday, 04 September 2011

This is my 1963 Rover Drophead living happily in the sunny climes of Sydney, Australia. Pictures show it beside the famous Harbour Bridge and Opera House - icons known around the world.

The model of this car was made by Crossways Models in the UK from many pictures I supplied.

This is the only Drophead version of this model made in the UK and has been maintained in pristine condition. The leather is the original and has been restored with leather oils to maintain its suppleness. A lovely vehicle to be the custodian of!
