Oldtimers, Youngtimers and Vintage Motoring
Talking about SVX again, gonna finally swap the Transmissions on mine! Got a 90' Legacy 2.0 Automatic Transmission for it and a fitting 4.111 Ratio Differential for the back. This will be an absolute Pain to do, but well worth it!

And to finish this week of Trabants of, here is the one I wanna go for one day, the Trabant Pick-Up!
I'm not sure if all of these where conversions or if some of them came like this from the factory, but I love them! This is the one I wanna go for one day, if I got 1000€ lying around somewhere
Must really be terrifying facing one of these cute Cars on the battle field....
Hi guys, I recently took a trip to Italy to see my friend who purchased a 1997 Mercedes about a year ago, which is extremely comfortable and pretty reliable - he swears by it. We got into a chat about advantages, reliability and comfort of the older over newer cars and he got me kinda excited to get into classic motoring. I currently have a 2017 Honda Civic for which I pay a pretty penny every month (its a lease) and my contract runs out in two years. I started looking around for a classic alternative I could maybe get outright cash in hand or with a little help from a financing company. I see a lot of Jaguars XF and X-Type on the streets of UK, I looked them up on autotrader and they can go for anything from about 2k to 10k depending on the milage etc. - still about 5k less than price sticker of my Civic. So here is the question - is it worth looking into? What models/makes I could look into? What should I be aware of? Any tips? Tricks? I'm looking to expand my family in the coming years so a 3 doors sports car are out of the question :) Thanks
