Spyker Evictor Is the Spyker Evictor…. A new electric concept car named after the modern founder of the company, or The landlord, who’s just taken the company to court over rent arrears? Sadly, it’s #2. Spyker has been ordered out of its premises within the next week after a Dutch court supported the landlord seeking rent owed to him by […]

Let me say this quite plainly – Despite the revelations of Traumatic Bonding, I’m going to restore my Lancia Fulvia. It’s dawning on me, though, that it’s going to take more time than I first thought if I’m going to a lot of the work myself in order to reduce the cost. We’re planning on a new garage/workshop being built
While you’re all pondering the subject of Turbin’s recent Guild writing – Prejudice Part 1 – allow me to distract you momentarily with a rather epic and detailed Ebay ad for a Porsche 911 Turbo. I’m posting it now because it’d be a good idea to see while the auction’s still live. Mention the name ‘Magnus Walker’ at a Porsche
I recently purchased some Lancia Fulvia documents on a CD and included was a whole swathe of Fulvia photography – the sort of stuff I used to scour the internet for in the Saab days. Press photos, advertisements, artistic interpretations. All sorts of stuff. So welcome to Fulvia Friday. I’ll kick things off with this interesting Fulvia from the Turin
I haven’t written anything about any new-ish cars in a while, but a few stories this week caught my eye so I thought I’d share them here. Koenigsegg #1 The first Koenigsegg One:1 production car was registered in Germany this week.

Better late than never! And as I’ll be away for November’s Classics in a few weeks time, consider this a bridge to December. Yes, December. Already. And there are only 65 days until Christmas, apparently. Yikes! This month at Classics saw the usual mix of regular and ‘new’ attendees. Alfa Romeo is my marque of interest this month, for reasons
This video spends an hour looking at the Saab effort at Pikes Peak early this century, with Per Eklund at the wheel. It’s in Swedish but has English subtitles. Enjoy.
Imagine it’s 11:58 on your personal doomsday clock. You’ve got a heart condition and you’re due for surgery. Tomorrow. Being a strong spirited type and knowing that your time might be limited, you decide to dress up and head out for a night at your favourite jazz club. Jazz is what you love most in all the world and if
With the whole guitar thing going on, there hasn’t been much time to play with the Lancia Fulvia but we got a little time today. It was Classics By The Beach in the morning, followed by a little Fiat X19 time with Geoff and a friend who came over to give us the benefit of his experience with the car
This might just be the best video Petrolicious has ever made. The car is an Alfa Romeo Sprint Speciale from 1965 and it was built especially for the La Carrera Panamericana race through Mexico. There’s plenty of driving footage to see and it’s a wonder to behold. In fact, it’s so wonderful it makes you wish there was no owner’s

Jay Leno gets all sorts of cool stuff coming through his garage. Most of it he owns, but occasionally he brings in someone else’s car to show it off. Such is the case with this Lancia Fulvia Sport. The video is around 25 minutes long and provides a great overview to the Fulvia, albeit with the alternate Zagato body. For
