The latest issue of SwissClassics Revue, no. 85-3/2021, is now available online and at newsstands! First and foremost, three pioneering Volkswagen models, namely the Beetle, the Golf and the new ID.3, are compared with each other. But we also celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Alpine A310 and look back at the Swiss car pioneers Fritz Moser and Rudolf Egg. And that's by no means all...
Generation change: VW Beetle, VW Golf, VW ID3
The VW Beetle was built for over 60 years, the VW Golf has now been around for over 45 years and now the new generation, the electric ID3, is making its appearance, which with its rear engine and rear-wheel drive seems to be closely resembling the original Volkswagen. A comparison is certainly worthwhile and we were able to organize very early examples.
The Porsche 911 fighter: Alpine-Renault A310
In March 1971, Alpine-Renault presented the A310 coupé, larger and more comfortable than the well-known Berlinette A110. The developers clearly had the Porsche 911 in their sights, but how did the plastic sports car compare and how does this duel look 50 years later?
Swiss car pioneers: Fritz Moser and Rudolf Egg
The two names may hardly be familiar to anyone today, but the engine and car manufacturer Fritz Moser and the engineer Rudolf Egg developed and produced interesting automobiles together (and also single-handedly) that are worth remembering.
Buying advice: Jaguar E-Type
60 years ago, Jaguar introduced the sports car milestone E-Type, a car that could compete with Ferrari and Maserati, but cost significantly less. To this day, the E-Type is one of the most beautiful car designs, but how does time affect it and what should you bear in mind when buying one?
Special: The convertible roof
What needs to be done to ensure that the convertible roof does not fail when it comes to weather protection? What is the best way to maintain a convertible roof? Who can help if it is no longer watertight or needs extensive repairs or even replacement? We provide answers to these questions.
