Mike Flannery’s Carrera RS 2.7 evocation makes use of Carrera 3.2 mechanicals and a raft of wide-ranging improvements to be even better than the real thing…
With bomb-proof build quality, the Carrera 3.2 represents the bedrock of 911 history, combining classic looks and driving traits with a relatively straightforward maintenance regime. Now, three decades on, even the best examples need restorative measures. Who better to demonstrate than a leading conservator of the breed?!
The arrival of the Taycan GTS had an air of inevitability about it. Of course, Porsche needed to fill the gap between the Taycan Turbo and the Taycan 4S, and the perfect peg for that particular hole was a driver orientated GTS model. Only slightly less predictable was the launch of the new Taycan Sport Turismo
The more you look at Mark Fisher’s Edition 30, the more dazzling details you uncover. By paying particular attention to the small stuff, he’s created something devilishly good…
From a quick turnaround track car project, Matthew Powney’s Polo G40 has evolved into an eight-year, ground-up restoration drawn from the quickest motorsport teams – and he’s not finished yet…
The Mk1 Driver is a rare beast these days. Perhaps even more elusive is being able to pin down a gas engineer in these cold climes. We strike gold this month, though, and find both. Hopefully, we’ll be let off the call-out charge…
For 1953, Ferrari released a second series of its 166 Mille Miglia (MM) for sports racing in the popular sub-2.0-litre sport class. These used the 1995cc V12 engine with new Weber 32IF4C carburettors, producing a healthy 160hp at 7200rpm. The so-called 166 MM/53 was sold alongside the 250 Mille Miglia (3.0 litres) and 340 Mille Miglia (4.1 litres).
The 124 has covered over 1000 miles now and nothing has fallen off! Testament to the guys at Middle Barton Garage for bolting it all together properly and to Barkaways Ferrari for building me a superb engine – Guy Croft would be pleased.
It’s very rare to gather all three major evolutions of Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer together – even more so in right-hand drive. We’re still pinching ourselves that we’ve driven them all, but which one delivers the knockout punch for us?
Raymond Boutinaud recently restored the one and only 928 to contest the 24 Hours of Le Mans. We take a trip to his workshop and check out this legendary ‘land shark’ for ourselves
This year, the 928 celebrates its forty-fifth anniversary. At the same time, its smaller-engined stablemate, the 944, reaches its fortieth birthday. We hit the open roads of the Staffordshire Moorlands for a play with two 1980s sports car icons: the 928 S4 and the 944 S2…
We delve into the history of a very special R-Type Continental – and take it ‘home’ to the Birmingham-based works where it spent its early years as everyday transport.
