The new issue of Motor Klassik magazine recently hit the newsstands. This issue features the Porsche 911, Alpine A310, Lotus Esprit, BMW 3.0 CSL, Alfa Romeo Spider and many more. Of course, this issue also includes practical buying advice for every car presented.
Then as now
There is a strange tension in the air as soon as the Renault Alpine A310 V6, Lotus Esprit S3 Turbo and the Porsche 911 SC meet. That was already the case at the beginning of the eighties - and it hasn't really changed to this day.
Escort lady
When BMW abruptly stopped the glass stepchild 1600 GT, Pietro Frua was left with many bodyshells. One of these had been modified on an Escort basis and was to go into series production. But the design of the coupé was too feminine for the Ford strategists.
MGB
Yes, it's true, he's a rough guy. But you could also put it another way: you can hardly drive a convertible more puristically. And that is certainly the reason for the great success of this car...
Alfa & Amalfi
More Italy is not possible. The Amalfitana, a winding coastal road above the Tyrrhenian Sea, is one of the most beautiful roads in the country, and the first Alfa Romeo Spider is one of the most beautiful Italian cars - a perfect combination.
G-laden guests
Three Volkswagens that still delight many fans today with their driving performance and unique technology will be competing in the Sachsen Classic: the VW Polo G40, VW Corrado G60 and the beefy VW Golf Rallye. Who will win the race?
The first BMW 3.0 CSL
Wolfgang Tegethoff from North Rhine-Westphalia acquired a very dilapidated BMW 3.0 CSL in 1999. This turned out to be not only one of 169 examples of the first series, but also the first series CSL ever - enough reason for a perfect restoration, which took over ten years.
Premium Classic
With a full three-day program on the Nordschleife and GP circuit, the Nürnburgring Classic continues the success of last year's premiere - in the best Eifel weather.
Trendsetter
The Renault 16 was born as a hybrid. On the one hand it wanted to be a comfortable saloon, on the other it was almost a station wagon. But the Simca 1500 Break also danced out of line. The van stigma still attached to estate cars at the time is completely absent.
