The latest issue of SwissClassics Revue, No. 49 from June/July, is dedicated to a TVR Grantura, which unexpectedly became a restoration project, deals with cars with wooden bodies, so-called woodies, and helps with the purchase of an original Mustang.
TVR Grantura - Never-ending story?
Plastic cars are ideal as restoration objects for DIY enthusiasts and don't even know rust. The 1960 TVR Grantura from this report, originally from England and often raced in Sweden and Denmark, was not bought to be restored, but to be driven! However, nothing came of it so quickly. SwissClassics shows the complete restoration and tells the story of the Grantura.
Woodies - Wood is homey
Woodies are cars with wooden bodies. They became more common again after the war, especially in England and America, but today they are rather rare. A Lea-Francis 14 HP Estate and a Chevrolet Fleetmaster Station Wagon were driven and compared here.
Buyer's guide - Ford Mustang I
The original Mustang is a perennial favorite, the range of Mustangs on offer is broad. There are always new models coming from the USA, but what do you have to look out for when buying if you want to get a clean and good model? The SwissClassics buying guide shows you.
Importing classic cars - what you need to know
As a Swiss citizen, buying classic cars abroad is becoming increasingly attractive. But once the classic car has been purchased, there are a few pitfalls and difficulties lurking when importing and registering it in Switzerland.
Waibel - Made in Zurich
