Classic and Collector Car News, Features and Interviews.
One the things we love about browsing classic car classifieds and online auctions is that you can find anything for sale. And you can’t get anything more eye catching than the 1969 ZAZ 965 we’ve come across. Most Western Europeans aren’t that familiar with cars from the Soviet era, with the exception of Lada’s which were of course sold in the EU for a number of years. So we have…

To mark the occasion we decided to freshen things up a bit and have created a brand new logo for Take to the Road. And here it is: What do you think? Let us know in the comments section below.

Launched in 1961 at the Paris Motor Show, the Peugeot 404 Cabriolet immediately impressed thanks to its Italian styling. Penned by Pininfarina, its elegant lines harked back to the glory days of the great French cabriolets of Delahaye and Hotchkiss, adding a sense of flair and sophistication to the Peugeot’s offering. The new cabriolet was based around the existing four door saloon platform and debuted with a 1608cc engine which…
The Fiat 850 Spider was launched in 1965 at the Geneva Motorshow. Designed by Bertone, the elegant convertible debuted with a rear mounted water cooled 843cc engine which produced 49BHP. Power was sent to the rear wheels through a four speed transmission and thanks to its independent suspension, the 850 quickly gained a reputation as a light and nimble car. In 1968 the series one design was given a face…
We are kicking off our first Market Feature of 2016 with a nice little entry level classic. With classic car prices at an all time high, it is becoming much harder for the enthusiast on a budget to find a nice cheap classic. Which is why we have picked a 1981 Honda Civic. The first generation Honda Civic was launched in 1972 and arrived at just the right time for…

Back in September we featured a stunning 1969 Fiat 2300 that was presented in original condition (read our feature article here). Seeing such a wonderful example of Ghia’s coach building skills reminded us that back in the day, Fiat were just as good at building luxury GT cars as they were at compact and frugal runabouts. Despite the attractive package, the 2300 coupe never sold in large numbers… the curse…
The Ford Consul Capri was launched in 1961 and was the first European market Ford to bear the Capri name. Designed by Charles Thompson, the 2 door pillarless coupe was based on the Ford Consul Classic saloon. It’s design took cues from the Ford Galaxie and Ford Thunderbird and was an attempt to bring American style and flair to the UK market. The compact and stylish coupe debuted with a…
