[hr] [dropcap]S[/dropcap]aabs were only produced under Spyker’s ownership for a period of 15 months or so and the company released two all-new models in that time – the 9-5 and the 9-4x. Given its short production run prior to bankruptcy, a new generation Saab 9-5 – even in sedan form – is a reasonably rare thing. A Saab 9-4x is […]

[hr] I posted a Fantasy Friday entry yesterday, featuring the Ferrari Dino 308 GT4. I should have done some more research before posting, and (as always) I should have done that research at Hemmings. We have a regular visitor in our midst who just happens to be one of the scribes at Hemmings. His name’s Mark McCourt and he left
[hr] [dropcap]L[/dropcap]ife’s too short to never own a mid-engined Italian V8. Gearheads might consider that quote to be agreeable, but getting a mid-engine Italian V8 is not like buying a Corolla. It takes dedication and a commitment to the goals of both acquisition and ownership. It’s not for everyone and on many levels, it shouldn’t really be for anyone. And
Let it be known I have no buyer’s remorse. I love my 968CS and hope to keep it (or a car like it) for a long, long time. That said, I spent a LOT of 2013 looking for a Lancia Fulvia and still have a deep affection for the little Italian. Even my wife loves them! If this Lancia Fulvia

Here’s a nice little litmus test to show how much people are willing to pay for what they believe is the genuine article. In this case, it’s a Porsche Speedster. —— I think the Speedster might be where Porsche’s habit of success with selling stripped-out versions of its cars got started. The Speedster was basically a lightweight version of Porsche
This car popped up on a random Facebook feed earlier today – thanks Joop! – and I just had to know more. It’s so cheesy and so GM (although not officially) that I couldn’t resist elevating it to Fantasy Friday status. Is there any mid-engined supercar from the 1980’s that hasn’t been used as the basis for a kit-car and
Is the Alpine A110 the discerning man’s classic car bargain of the moment? I was inspired to do this Fantasy Friday post by a photo feature on Petrolicious earlier this week. There’s a sample of it above. Click here to see the full shoot. You might be familiar with the Alpine A110. Or maybe you haven’t heard of it. Or
What are the classic signs of insanity? Hairy palms? Hallucinations? Violent mood swings? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result? Voting conservative? I think it’s fairly safe to add ‘buying a TVR’ to that list. And yet here we are, collectively poised to lust after what is reputed to be one of the most unreliable
This week’s Fantasy Friday entry was inspired by a car I saw on the road in Hobart earlier this week (see above). Early model Japanese sports cars are rarely going to approach the value of their European counterparts but there is a fierce little community dedicated to the preservation of these cars and their work is gaining in appreciation. Values

Welcome to the first instalment of Fantasy Friday, a momentary brainstorm idea that may or may not be continued in the future. I spend a LOT of time on various car-selling websites so I thought I’d pick a car from time-to-time to share on here. Any car shown on Fantasy Friday will be a car that’s available for sale at
