MG GT - The hatchback Gran Turismo from MG with 4.6 and 8 cylinders
As early as the mid-sixties, MG offered the MGB GT, an extremely practical coupé with a tailgate that could take a lot of luggage and was still sporty. And because more is always better, the four-cylinder sports car was soon equipped with six and later even eight cylinders under the hood. Which is the best of the three?
Buyer's guide: Mercedes-Benz /8
Time flies - it is now almost 50 years since the Mercedes-Benz W114/115 was presented. Almost 2 million saloons and coupés were produced, quite a few of which have stood the test of time. They also have their qualities as classics.
From the fifties: Photo archive, part 4
SwissClassics Revue presents here a small photo series of unusual automobiles of the time. All of them have been lovingly built by renowned domestic and foreign coachbuilders. The majority of them are now sought-after classics from the early post-war period. Some have survived, others have been lost.
Swiss coachbuilt cars: Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 S Graber
The Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 was one of the most expensive post-war automobiles and combined driving comfort with sportiness. Hermann Graber built four convertibles on the chassis of the Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 in the 1940s, the last of which caused a sensation at beauty contests and is still in Swiss hands today.
Mazda Cosmo 110 S: Automobile manufacturer milestone
The fame of having put the first production car with a Wankel engine on the road belonged to NSU with the Wankel Spider with a single-disc Wankel engine. But Mazda was quicker with the twin-disc Wankel. The "Project L402A", as it was called at the time, was shown at the Tokyo Motor Show in 1963. In 1967, the car went on sale as the Mazda Cosmo 110 S, albeit almost exclusively in Japan.
Antiquarian book: The racing fifteen-hundreds
The book by David Venables is about the so-called Voiturettes, the racing cars with 1.5 liter displacement, were used between 1931 and 1940 in independent events or in pre-races before the Grand Prix.
And then, of course, there are many event reviews, preview articles on upcoming events, book reviews and much more. So don't miss it!
