While the turbulent 1963, full of hope and hate, writes history, the sun is shining in Italy with the creation of the Lamborghini brand and the start of production of Lancia's most famous car ever. Designer Piero Castagnero delivers a masterpiece with his design that the brand would never surpass. But not only the […] More
The statement “like snow in the sun” seems to have been coined by DeLorean's story. The brand that could have succeeded for as many reasons as failed. However, the cause of the brand's fall, just a year after the first DeLorean DMC-12 rolled off the line, came from unexpected […] More
It is May 1994. Exactly 20 years after the introduction of the Golf I, a brand new VW Golf I Cabriolet is delivered in beautiful Inka blue just before the summer in Leiderdorp. The Golf II (never made as a convertible) has then been discontinued for 3 years. Its successor, the Golf III Cabriolet […] More

Just look… There she is. All alone. Almost shy. She knows we stare at her perfect lines. Down her hips to her beautifully shaped, modest backside with those signature deep-set taillights. Through her clear windows to the 55 year old leather. She knows this needs to be replaced… Is she ashamed […] More
Life used to be simple. You could only choose the best. There was a Golf in a raw GTI version with diamond upholstery. A Delta was there as an insane Integrale. Ferrari had the most famous model ever in production; the Testarossa with showy egg sliders. And then you had the Countach. Madness! […] More
