My Classic 1989 E30 BMW 325i SE

Ongoing diary including video reports and Instagram posts

Follow #BCGBMWE30 on social media Bookmark this page to follow my ongoing series with this car – everything that happens with the ownership of this BMW – one that I’ve owned for the second time. I used to own a blue one just like this back in the 1990s, and it was one of my most missed cars.

Absolutely loved the Lancia Aurelia B20GT ‘Outlaw’ hot-rod style Bracca-spec car, made by Thornley Kelham of the Cotswolds and displayed at the 2021 Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court Palace. At first glance it’s an American-inspired chop-top hot-road restomod, but in fact there’s a back-story that proves, this is how one car actually was back in the day. Check out the exquisite interior too! #BCGEvents

Why the 1969 Camaro was the best Chevy ever

When Chevrolet scratched a cat and ate Mustangs

In Dubai, UAE, around 2012 I shot this beautiful 1969 Chevrolet Camaro belonging to Khalid Bin Hadher of Performance Garage for featuring to go on the Motoring Middle East website. He later resprayed it to yellow and soon I’ll post up another feature we did with it then – stay tuned.
