The Classic Days are quite special for us, since they started around the same time we relaunched your brand about 15 years ago, give or take a few. They have been growing steadily, overcoming obstacles that would have felled less passionate organizers (try surviving Covid, for one) and managed to keep the event both fun …

Another great day for the Drum Brake series fanatics – at Brands Hatch this time…

The Vernasca Silver Flag 2023 – Hillclimb to heaven!
The story of the 27th edition of the Vernasca Silver Flag is really two stories – both very Suixtil as you’ll see. The first one starts with Alex, he of Suixtil Benelux, roping in some friends in the Netherlands to ride down to Piacenza, Italy, taking all the backroads, mountain passes and impossible …

The drum-brake series is back – Silverstone first!
Oh yes, we just love it – our friends Pia and Tony (yes, they of the Historic Racing Repertoire fame) are back with the series – you know the one: the drum brake series. It harks back to a gentler time of sportsmen and impossible cars that bore more than a passing resemblance with those …

Grazie Mille (that was easy…)
It was that time – just slightly off the regular timetable of the 1000 and everyone (at least everyone we know) were looking at whether things would work out – and how? – for the Mille Miglia. Last year’s edition had to be dramatically curtailed because of the pandemic and this year’s good signs about …

We love Paris in the Spring time – and you do too when it’s Retromobile
And so it came to pass that for reasons beyond our control we had to give this edition of Retromobile a miss. It was, quite literally at that, heartbreaking. Then again, it did not have to mean that Suixtil wouldn’t be there. Quite fortunately, our partners and friends from Historic Driver – you must know …

Guess what – the season now starts even earlier, thanks to Maastricht
We had heard about Interclassics several times before (and some of our partners have even attended the event) but we never quite took the full measure of the event ’till we visited the Brussels show (organized by the same team) last year and had the privilege of receiving a full gallery of pictures from – …
