Classic cars are our passion. Driving our classic cars is an even bigger passion.
But the internet is our addiction ... Just as we can drive for hours, we can surf the internet for hours on end. Always trying to find that special car for sale in some obscure little corner.
Race cars are nice. Every now and then we at Classic Car Hunter would see a nice race car and star thinking what a shame it is that you can’t drive it on the road. I guess it’s easier with replica cars and that’s why we like this Porsche 934/5 recreation. It is ready for the track but is also road legal.
In 1964, GLAS, the company that gave us the Goggomobil introduced the 1300GT coupe. The body was designed by Pietro Frua. However competition, mostly from British cars, was tough and in 1966 they released the 2600GT powered by a SOHC V8 engine.
Sometimes, you see a car and think if someone hadn’t already done it, then someone should. That’s exactly what we though when we first laid our eyes on this Beetle Van. It looks right, and particularly on the picture beneath.
How about this estate car? Take a clean-looking two-door estate by Opel, put a set of Borbet wheels under it, a big exhaust and you’re ready to cruise. We like it a lot since it’s very tastefully done.
We like homologation series. Especially these lightweight BMW Coupés. These cars when they originally came out were more expensive then a 911 2.7 RS, its direct competitor. The Porsche is now well over £100k+ even though more of them were made. In our books that spells out “value”, even though these Bimmers are quite expensive to maintain.
Update 27/7: The Opel sold with the buy-it-now for £6,750.
We like cars that have tasteful modifications. This Opel GT will definitely not appeal to the purists out there. Not only has it had an engine swap but also the big wheels transform the car completely. The new engine is a reconditioned Rover 3.5-liter V8 and fits nicely. The original cars came with a 1100 or 1900cc engine.
Update 29/7: The little one sold for €4,133 with 15 bids.
Lovely little Lloyd LP-600 for sale in Dachau, Germany. Made by Lloyd Motoren Werke, under the Borgward umbrella, 176,524 of these rolled out of the premises between 1955 and 1961 when Borgward went bust. They were not cheap at the time but came with loads of luxuries that were only found in full-size cars.
