1962 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible 327 V8
Come see it October 17–18 in Fredericia!

The last of the original Corvettes – and the beginning of a new V8 chapter! 🇺🇸🔥

This gorgeous red 1962 Corvette is more than just a 1960s American dream. It`s the final year of the C1 generation, the car that transformed Chevrolet`s bold 1953 experiment into a genuine sports-car legend.

And 1962 brought serious muscle: Chevrolet replaced the 283ci V8 with the larger 327ci (5.4L) small-block. This example pairs its 327 with a manual gearbox – proper hands-on, old-school driving! 😍

🔎 Why it’s special
Look at the sweeping bodywork, whitewall tyres, four exposed headlights and chrome details. The 1962 model also had cleaner, body-coloured side coves, giving the final C1 its own distinctive look.

🧠 For the nerds
• 1962 – final C1 model year
• 327ci / 5.4L Chevrolet V8
• Manual transmission
• Fibreglass body
• Front independent suspension
• Solid rear axle with leaf springs
• Front-engine, rear-wheel drive

🔥 Bonus info: The 327 was offered in several power levels, from 250 to 360 hp – the top version used Rochester mechanical fuel injection. Exact output depends on the engine specification.

1962 was also the last Corvette with a solid rear axle. For 1963, the all-new Sting Ray arrived with independent rear suspension.

Would you choose this elegant C1 or the sharper C2? 👀

🇩🇪 Die letzte Corvette der ersten Generation! 🇺🇸

1962 war das Finale der C1 – mit dem neuen 327-ci-V8 (5,4 Liter). Dieses rote Cabriolet kombiniert den V8 mit Handschaltung und klassischer Corvette-Optik.

🔥 Bonus: Ab 1963 brachte die Sting Ray eine Einzelradaufhängung hinten.

1978 Zastava 750
Come see it October 17–18 in Fredericia!

A little Yugoslav legend with Italian DNA! 🇷🇸🇮🇹

Small, simple and packed with character – this red Zastava 750 is a wonderful reminder that some of Europe`s most memorable cars weren`t built for speed, but for everyday freedom. 😍

Known affectionately as the Fića, the Zastava 750 was built in Yugoslavia using the Fiat 600 as its foundation.

For generations, these compact rear-engined cars carried families, commuters and holiday luggage across the country.

With its rounded body, tiny wheels and unmistakable rear engine vents, the 750 has a personality all its own. And the bright red paintwork suits it perfectly! ❤️

🔎 For the nerds:
• Produced by Zastava in Kragujevac
• Based on the Fiat 600
• Rear-mounted, water-cooled four-cylinder engine
• Rear-wheel drive
• 767cc engine in the 750 family
• Compact two-door saloon
• Nicknamed "Fića" in former Yugoslavia

🔥 Bonus info:
The Fiat 600 arrived in 1955, but its Yugoslav relative lived on for decades.

Zastava continued producing the little car until 1985 – long after the original Fiat 600 had left Italian production!

🇩🇪 Ein kleiner jugoslawischer Klassiker mit italienischen Wurzeln! 🇷🇸🇮🇹

Der Zastava 750 basiert auf dem Fiat 600 und wurde liebevoll "Fića" genannt.

Mit Heckmotor, Hinterradantrieb und kompakten Abmessungen wurde er zum Alltagshelden für Generationen.

🔥 Bonus: In Jugoslawien lief die Produktion bis 1985 weiter!

1968 Fiat 850 Sport
Come see it October 17–18 in Fredericia!

Small car, big Italian personality! 🇮🇹☀️

This bright yellow Fiat 850 is proof that you don`t need a massive engine to have serious fun!

Introduced in 1964, the Fiat 850 family expanded in 1965 with the stylish Coupé, giving Fiat`s little rear-engined runabout a sporty new personality.

With its compact proportions, distinctive fastback roofline and rear-wheel drive, the 850 Coupé captured everything enthusiasts love about classic Italian motoring. 😍

And that colour? Absolutely impossible to ignore!

🔎 For the nerds:
• Fiat 850 family introduced in 1964
• Coupé launched in 1965
• Rear-mounted four-cylinder engine
• Rear-wheel drive
• Early Coupé: 843cc, approximately 47 hp
• Later Sport Coupé: 903cc, approximately 52 hp
• Independent suspension

🔥 Bonus info:
The Fiat 850 Coupé and Spider shared mechanical roots but had very different bodies. The Spider was styled by Bertone, while the Coupé wore Fiat`s own elegant fastback design.

The 850 also belonged to Fiat`s famous rear-engined family, which helped make small, affordable cars an important part of European motoring history.

🇩🇪 Klein, gelb und voller italienischem Temperament! 🇮🇹

Der Fiat 850 Coupé kombiniert Heckmotor, Hinterradantrieb und sportliches 60er-Jahre-Design.

🔥 Bonus: Während der Coupé eine Fiat-Karosserie erhielt, wurde der offene 850 Spider von Bertone gestaltet.

Ein echter italienischer Klassiker! 😍

MG TF
Come see it October 17–18 in Fredericia!

A proper British roadster – two seats, a soft top and rear-wheel drive. But the MG TF has another trick up its sleeve: the engine sits behind the driver. 😎🔥

Introduced in 2002 as the successor to the MGF, the TF continued MG’s modern interpretation of the classic British sports car.

Instead of the traditional front-engine layout of cars such as the MGB, the TF used a mid-mounted engine driving the rear wheels.

That gives this compact roadster a layout normally associated with much more exotic machinery. 😍

The TF also brought sharper styling and significant chassis changes compared with the MGF, giving it its own distinctive personality.

And this particular car has another great feature – the removable hardtop seen in the photo. With it fitted, the TF takes on an almost coupé-like appearance; remove it and you’re back to classic open-top British motoring. 🇬🇧

🔎 For the nerds:
• MG TF
• Two-seat roadster
• Mid-mounted engine
• Rear-wheel drive
• Successor to the MGF
• TF introduced in 2002
• Soft top
• Removable hardtop on this car

🔥 Bonus info:
The TF name has much deeper roots. MG previously used it for the beautiful 1950s MG TF, the final development of the famous T-series.

So although the modern TF is completely different mechanically, its badge connects it to decades of British roadster history.

🇩🇪 Der MG TF verbindet britische Roadster-Tradition mit Mittelmotor und Hinterradantrieb.

2002 erschien er als Nachfolger des MGF. Dieses Exemplar besitzt außerdem ein abnehmbares Hardtop – offen Roadster, geschlossen fast ein kleines Coupé. 😍

1956 Ford Zodiac Mk1
Come see it October 17–18 in Fredericia!

Now THIS is a Ford with personality! 😍🏁

The Ford Zodiac Mk1 was the luxurious member of Ford of Britain’s Zephyr/Zodiac family – and a wonderful example of just how much American influence found its way into British car design during the 1950s.

Under the bonnet sits a straight-six engine, while the exterior delivers everything we love about the period: plenty of chrome, a large grille and unmistakable 1950s presence.

But this particular 1956 Zodiac takes things several steps further. 😎

Auxiliary lights, a roof-mounted spotlight, luggage on the roof, competition number 13 and – of course – a caravan on the towbar!

It looks less like a museum piece and more like something ready to head straight off on a proper period touring adventure. 🇬🇧

🔎 For the nerds:
• 1956 Ford Zodiac Mk1
• Ford of Britain
• Straight-six engine
• Luxury version of the Zephyr family
• Classic 1950s styling
• American-influenced design
• Period rally/touring character

🔥 Bonus info:
The Zodiac name was introduced for the more luxurious version of Ford’s British six-cylinder range.

Today the Mk1 is a fantastic reminder of an era when British manufacturers mixed European proportions with a generous dose of American glamour.

And with the caravan behind it, this one might just be one of the most characterful combinations at the show! 😁

🇩🇪 Der Ford Zodiac Mk1 verbindet britische Automobilgeschichte mit amerikanisch beeinflusstem 50er-Jahre-Design.

Dieses Exemplar von 1956 setzt mit Zusatzscheinwerfern, Suchscheinwerfer, Startnummer und Wohnwagen noch einen drauf. Ein echter Hingucker! 😍

1984 Ford Orion
Come see it October 17–18 in Fredericia!

🇬🇧 A Ford from the days when even the practical family saloon got its own name, character and place in the range. 😎

The Ford Orion arrived in 1983 as a close relative of the Escort – but Ford deliberately gave the four-door saloon its own identity.

Instead of simply calling it an Escort saloon, the Orion was positioned as a slightly more upmarket alternative for buyers who wanted Escort engineering with a traditional separate boot and a more formal appearance.

This 1984 example comes from the very first generation. ❤️

And just look at those lines: angular bodywork, black bumpers, a proper three-box silhouette and the wonderfully straightforward styling that instantly says 1980s European Ford.

This particular Orion has been given a noticeably sportier stance with larger wheels and a rear spoiler, adding a little extra attitude to the otherwise sensible saloon. 😍

🔎 For the nerds:
• Ford Orion
• 1984
• First generation
• Introduced in 1983
• Four-door saloon
• Closely related to the Escort
• Front-wheel drive
• Pure 1980s Ford character

🔥 Bonus info:
The separate Orion identity lasted for a decade. In 1993, Ford retired the Orion name and the saloon once again became part of the Escort range.

Today, an early Orion is becoming a surprisingly unusual sight – which is exactly why cars like this are so much fun to discover at a show.

🇩🇪 Der Ford Orion erschien 1983 als viertürige Stufenheck-Alternative zum Escort und bekam bewusst einen eigenen Namen.

Dieser 1984er gehört zur ersten Generation – kantiges Design, klassische Limousinenform und jede Menge 80er-Jahre-Ford. 😎

1981 Ford Capri Mk3 2.3 Ghia
Come see it October 17–18 in Fredericia!

🇬🇧 “The car you always promised yourself.” And this one combines classic Capri styling with V6 power and Ghia luxury. 🤎😎

The Ford Capri was launched in 1969 with a simple idea: bring the affordable sporty-car formula to European buyers.

Rather than being one fixed performance model, the Capri could be ordered with numerous engines and trim levels – allowing customers to build anything from an economical coupé to a serious V6-powered GT.

In 1978, the version we now call the Mk3 arrived.

Its twin round headlights, black grille, long bonnet and sweeping fastback profile created the look that became one of the most recognisable European Ford designs of the era.

🔥 And this 1981 example has a V6!

The 2.3-litre engine belongs to Ford`s famous Cologne V6 family, an engine line used across numerous European Ford models.

Power goes to the rear wheels – exactly as a classic Capri should. 😍

Then there`s the Ghia badge.

Ghia represented a more luxurious side of the Capri range, combining the sporty coupé shape with additional comfort and a more upmarket character.

🔎 For the nerds:
• Ford Capri Mk3
• 1981
• 2.3-litre V6
• Cologne V6
• Ghia specification
• Rear-wheel drive
• Classic fastback styling
• Mk3 introduced in 1978

🔥 Bonus info:
The Capri remained in production until 1986, giving Ford`s European “pony car” an impressive lifespan.

And just look at this one: brown metallic, period styling and that unmistakable Capri silhouette. Peak late-`70s/early-`80s Ford cool. 🤎

🇩🇪 Dieser Ford Capri Mk3 2.3 Ghia von 1981 kombiniert klassisches Fastback-Design mit 2,3-Liter-Köln-V6, Hinterradantrieb und der gehobenen Ghia-Ausstattung.

Ein echter europäischer Ford-Klassiker! 😍

1974 Saab 99
Come see it October 17–18 in Fredericia!

Swedish engineering from a time when Saab definitely wasn`t interested in doing things the same way as everyone else. 🇸🇪😍

The Saab 99 represented a huge step forward for the Swedish manufacturer when it arrived in the late 1960s.

Larger and more modern than the Saab 96, it introduced a new generation of Saab design and engineering – but retained the unconventional thinking that would become such an important part of the brand`s identity.

Even from the rear, there`s no mistaking it for much else! 😎

The large curved glass, substantial pillars and distinctive proportions gave the 99 a shape unlike the conventional family saloons of its era.

🔧 The engine story is equally interesting. Early Saab 99s used an engine developed from a British Triumph design, before Saab progressively reworked the concept and later introduced its own B-engine.

And then came the chapter that helped change Saab forever…

TURBO! 💨🔥

In 1978, the Saab 99 Turbo helped demonstrate that turbocharging didn`t have to be reserved for exotic performance cars. Saab successfully combined turbo power with a practical everyday car – an idea that would become central to the brand for decades.

🔎 For the nerds:
• Saab 99
• 1974
• Swedish design 🇸🇪
• Front-wheel drive
• Distinctive curved glass
• Important predecessor to the Saab 900
• The 99 later spawned the legendary Turbo

🔥 Bonus info:
The Saab 99 was designed by Sixten Sason, one of the most important names in Saab design history. During development, the project was known internally as “Gudmund” and was kept highly secret.

🇩🇪 Der Saab 99 war ein wichtiger Meilenstein der schwedischen Marke: Frontantrieb, eigenständiges Design und ungewöhnliche Technik.

Wenige Jahre nach diesem 1974er Exemplar folgte der berühmte 99 Turbo – und damit begann eines der spannendsten Kapitel der Saab-Geschichte. 🇸🇪💨
