You can always tell that the year is coming to an end when magazines are already looking ahead to the next one. Auto Bild klassik is no exception and recalls five cars that will be 30 years old in 2015 in the lead article.
The selection cannot be taken for granted. Of course, you might expect a German car magazine to cover the BMW 325i Cabriolet or the VW Scirocco of the time, and a baby Benz also fits in well. However, the wedge-shaped Subaru Coupé XT and the Fiat Uno Turbo, which complete the quintet, are quite unusual. And so the composition is also fun.
The strong opponents of the Porsche
German sports coupés of the sixties are the subject of a second article, in which the Glas 1700 GT and the OSI-Ford Coupé compete against the Porsche 912.
Those familiar with the subject may have expected that the Glas would receive very good marks and that the OSI Ford would be considered out of competition.
Three quarters of a century of the Taunus
The Ford Taunus was a success story that began 75 years ago. Auto Bild klassik traces it and invites the reader on an enjoyable journey into the past.
On Zak with speed
Erich Zakowski is 80 years old, his name is well known, as are his cars.
From the Turbo Capri to the Formula 1, he built everything and was often, but not always, very successful. A look back is definitely interesting
Finally finished, the Beetle
In the third part of the restoration trilogy, the VW Beetle 1302 LS is finally finished and looks almost as good as new. And as with most restorations, not everything went smoothly with the Beetle. In any case, the Beetle actually turned out to be almost priceless in the end.
Other reports deal with the "sick" rally "Creme 21", the Hot Wheels cars from Mattel, Rainer Buchmann's tuning cars and an adventurous search for a Dodge in France, which then became a Plymouth. And of course, the 200-page magazine also features the usual sections and topics that make every issue of Auto Bild klassik an hour-long read. Issue 12/2014 is now in newsagents.
