We got lucky – it had been a while – since our doctor’s orders cleared us, but just for the Amelia Island Concours we had registered for. So we rushed over and, after a road trip without much surprise or hiccups, found ourselves at the top-Eastern corner of the panhandle state in time for the …

Inter Classic Salon in Antwerp – another nicely put together exhibition
We could not be in Belgium at the time of the Antwerp exhibition as we had been called somewhere else (more on that in a separate post) but were very lucky that Pierre Stubbe, the talented photographer who had so kindly provided us with images of the Masstricht event last month, was on call (surely …

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 – …

And in the US, MMR features our Raticosa in their gift guide!
The MMR newsletter is not your average weekly read. Informed, opinionated and literary -mixing operatic references with quotes from the Bard, certainly not your usual drivel – it is a lonely pleasure that enthusiasts wait for the whole week till, come Friday, their gift arrives in their inbox. We should also mention the gorgeous photography …

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 …

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 …
