We had to think long and hard about what we could bring to put under your Xmas tree – you, after all, already have it all… And then it came to us: we have not yet told you about one of the year’s best events – the Vernasca Silver Flag held in Piacenza (about half …

Our Xmas gift to you? A look back at the Vernasca Silver Flag, an event that has it all (and lots of Suixtil moments too)

Autoworld Brussels Zagato exhibition
When you’re in Brussels, there is a detour you will want to make to Autoworld – the auto museum homed in a turn-of-the-century palace in a grand setting. There is almost always an exhibition running (we luckily caught the Zagato one that was about to finish) and while they are not very large they are …

Brussels InterClassics – what an unexpected pleasant surprise.
And merely a week after Lyon, we were thrilled to be able to attend InterClassics in Brussels under a clear blue sky and in a venue replete with style (the exhibition center dates back to 1935 and is right across from the famed Atomium). It is a show that resembles Belgium at large – not …

Epoqu’Auto in France, a great big show…
And so we were at the beginning of November, wondering if the season was already over when we walked into Epoqu’Auto in Lyon, France, with our partners from Historic Driver for yet another exhibition. And it was great for different reasons – mainly having to do with the meeting of friends (like Gerard from Autodiva …

The Goodwood Revival – (another) one for the books
You’ve already heard it all – not least of all here. How great the Goodwood Revival is, how fabulous the organization, how we even suspect Lord March to conspire with some otherworldly powers to fix the weather – and this year’s edition certainly lent credence to that. The reality might be altogether different. Don’t get …

Monterrey Race Week – Noting compares…
And while we did not get a chance to make our way to the track this year, we believe the tour we managed, centered around the two events where your brand was exhibited (Automobilia Monterrey in Seaside and Retro Auto at the Spanish Bay Lodge at Pebble Beach) and the visit to the RM Sotheby’s …

Schloss Dyck von Trips memorial – a Concours & demo drive well worth the trip to Dusseldorf
It had been a few years since we had attended the Schloss Dyck event and we were surprised to see how much it has grown in the interim. The landscape has been reshuffled to accommodate a larger population of cars, a bigger line-up at the Concours (while the settings remain as grand as ever). The …

Spa Summer Classic – another great racing meet
And so it was that, on an extraordinarily hot week end of June, our friend Günter, yes, him again! – was at the track, again, to gather some glorious pictures – which he did. Spa is of course quite a track, a combination of a long history while its continued association with F1 also means …

Glorious Nürburgring Classic
Of course the track is not what it once was, of course the spirit that animates those exhibition races is not quite the excitement that once presided over the proceedings being held here. And yet, if anything, the cars have grown more even beautiful with the passing years and their owners ever more determined to …

77th Members’ Meeting at Goodwood – Paradise found, almost….
May is still young and it is quite daring, as previous editions have shown – with hail and all, to be organizing a large-scale racing outdoor event. But Lord March‘s team, undaunted, pulls out all the stops and organizes what is, somehow, like a Revival of the Spring (or, in music parlance and if Stravinsky …
