The new issue of Motor Klassik is here and brings us further insights into the world of classic and vintage cars. Including a driving report on the Ferrari 400 GT and the Jaguar XJ-C 5.3, a look at three German coupés and a report on the road to the Revival Meeting in Goodwood.
12 cylinders are a must
Is a V12 really the measure of all things in every respect? A Daimler Double Six version of the Jaguar XJ-C 5.3 and a Ferrari 400 GT are marveled at and then tested to see if there is any truth to the thesis.
Three German coupés
More expensive, more exclusive and more beautiful - the playful version of the mid-range saloons. The Audi 100 Coupé S, the Mercedes-Benz 250 CE, W 114 and the Opel Commodore S Coupé compete in the beauty contest. The three roll along with attention to detail and luxury.
Off to Goodwood
The journey from Regensburg to Goodwood is 1200 km long, which you have to cover to take part in the Revival Meeting. The journey time flies by in a Porsche 911 and the view along the coast is a thousand times better.
A Mercedes-Benz 300 SL in its original condition
Hard to believe but it actually exists. A Mercedes-Benz 300 SL in its original condition is back on the road. Only a handful have survived the years without cosmetic surgery, but every now and then it happens that an automobile remains untouched - fortunately.
Restoration of a Ford Granada 2.6 Ghia
Restoration is nothing new for Ernst Jahner. When it was his turn to restore a Granada 2.6 Ghia, his aim was to retain as much of the original substance as possible, so the seats and steering wheel were allowed to remain and the repair sheet metal was done by hand.
Le Mans Classic
123,000 spectators attended the eighth Le Mans Classic. The weather played along, as did the 600 participants, including numerous racing professionals and former winners. The atmosphere was relaxed, the race spectacular.
