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.
In our opinion, this is the more European looking version of the famous Chevy Corvette. That’s why we quite like it and why it drew our attention skimming through the ebay advertisements. That and the price. Because it seems like a bit of a bargain to be had for someone …
Update 25/2: This Jag sold for GBP15000.
From 20/2:
We like the colour orange on older cars. It gives older cars a more modern look without being too contemporary, if you know what we mean. Maybe not … well anyway … This Jaguar race car looks absolutely stunning in orange. It has been completely rebuilt and is even road legal.
For some, there are definitely positives to the current economic downturn. Some pretty amazing and unique automobiles are coming onto the market. But we don’t think economics has anything to do with this Lancia Special coming up for sale. It is a Lancia Beta Coupé chopped and changed into a Group 4 rally machine. Add some of the most widely recognised livery schemes into the mix and you get a really nice looking car that nobody else has.
Update 16/1: The car didn’t meet reserve with 27 bids and EUR9062
From 3/1:
This is an unfinished project. The seller, who has 20 years experience as a car painter, has to let go because of health problems. He also has more than 11 years of experience with extreme tuning projects, and by God … it shows. What a monster Group 5 Ford racer he’s created! Fantastic!
If you missed out on last week’s sale of this Audi Sport Quattro remake for sale in the US out of Holland, don’t worry. It didn’t make its reserve price, so you’re still in with a chance. If though, in these economic circumstances you’re not sure to splash out EUR55000, ClassicCarHunter has found you a cheaper tribute Quattro for sale in the UK.
Update 11/12: The seller has kindly emailed us more pics. Also, the price advertised on his website seems to be incorrect. He wants EUR130000. He also sells a Colotti gearbox, highly-tuned spare engine and the original rear axle for EUR45000.
We have found another Alfa GTA for sale, but this one is not a replica. This is a real Autodelta car that has been used for the Italian Hillclimb Championship between 1969 and 1975. It is a proper racer and it looks amazing. The price tag is accordingly.
Update 29/11: The MG has been relisted. Links updated.
In every roadtest the MGB Roadster features, the car comes out as rather boring and underpowered. These cars scream for upgrading, in our opinion. For us, the V8 engine swaps and rally (replica) versions are the ones to go for and we were well chuffed when we first set our eyes on the little thumbnail of this particular car on German ebay.
We featured another replica out of Holland a while back (which is still for sale by the way). Now one has come up for sale on German ebay out of a Danish collection. It is a replica made in the late eighties in France, where it took part in hill climbs and rallies.
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.
Update 12/9: Fred on Leblogdino.com has kindly forwarded us a picture of the interior. Looks great.
Ever since we first laid our eyes on this Fiat Dino Coupe, we have wanted it. The car features on a Dino website and quite often we would go and have a peek to see if it was still there.
