The latest issue of MotorKlassik picked out ten expensive classic icons for us in March and presented an affordable alternative with just as much charm and character for each one. British pre-war cars with German BMW technology, a talented American classic car dealer with over 500 classics on offer and this year's Winter Trial in Norway are also featured in the magazine.
Icons and alternatives - 10 dream classics in a duel
Same character, different price levels - some affordable classics are not so far removed from the automotive dreams in reality. For example, if you don't have 11 million to spend on a Ferrari 250 GT SWB, an Alfa 2000 GT Veloce for 25,000 euros would be an affordable alternative.
Bristol 400 and Frazer Nash - British nobility with German roots
Frazer Nash and Bristol are inspired by sporty pre-war BWM technology. Motor Klassik shows their versions of the legendary BWM 327/328 from Germany.
Classic from California - America's most spectacular dealer
The American Keith McCormick is not just any small classic car dealer. He has over 500 classic cars in his yard. Motor Klassik paid the talented gentleman a quick visit in Palm Springs, California.
VW Golf GTI restoration - cult youngtimer like new again
The Swiss Matthias Schär had had a VW Golf GTI from the first series on his wish list for a long time. By chance, he came across an example that could be restored at a reasonable cost.
Alfa Romeo Spider & GTV - Everything about purchase and maintenance
The Alfa Spider and GTV presented in 1994 offer an affordable entry into the Alfa world today. But buying cheaply doesn't mean driving cheaply, as this report shows.
Winter Trial 2015 in Norway - On ice and snow
Snow and ice made for the toughest edition of the Winter Trial this year, which has been held in Norway every year since 2001. The rally for classic cars built up to 1979 caused several favorites to fail and ended with a big surprise.
And much more...
Of course, Motor Klassik also offers much more with topics such as the Opel Kadett GT/E, the Mercedes S-Class W140 in the buying tip or advice on how to recognize quality tools for self-building.
